We were just finishing the clean-up from the morning’s work when I bent over and felt/heard a … ripping sensation.
…and knew I’d lost another old friend. Seven or eight years ago a neighbor was getting rid of a bunch of these canvas jeans, rather heavily used and requiring some patches here and there but fundamentally in good shape and much more appropriate for winter than BDUs. They’ve served me well, but this is the third pair I’ve retired this winter. Guess they’re done, and I’ll come up with something better before next winter.
