I have 7 pr. Half from Cabela's on discount. Colors beyond denim blue even. Gives me plenty in good condition for work....couple old prs I use on dirty farm days. Still have 3 "farmer onesies" for farm but one pair is pretty sad. Not liking cold -- and it's 17 here this morn, with winds feels like 11

Recording thermometer shows down to 12 last night.. Part of being winter... rather glad we are getting some of these cold temps...

There are some viruses running rampant here, schools with significant numbers of kids out, and stuff like that. Add to the snow days and things are quite disrupted. Hoping some of this cold will clear the air so to speak.

Heading up to the cows in just a bit... while the ground is hard. This is supposed to be the start of the warming trend.. I will go out and hang the clothes after I get done up there, when it is a little warmer. Temps are actually up to 26 but the sun just hit the recorder... still, there is no breeze and it feels halfway decent out there because the air is still. Don't mind these temps if the wind is not making it miserable.

@Baymule , there is/was a Vanity Fair outlet store right off the highway I went to a couple of times on trips north to Conn and NH years ago. Near a huge Bass Pro store too... haven't been in several years..... found lots of good bargains there... would like to go back there; I need to make a trip up north to see the friends in CT...
Time to start doing somethings I want to do....

Vanity Fair Outhet stores split off, Kontoor Brands now own Lee and Wrangler. After reminiscing this morning, I looked them up to see what happened to them. I found Kontoor Brands, found outlet stores but my, things have changed! I used to buy jeans for $7.

Grapevine store is 195 miles from me.
Fort Worth store is 207 miles from me.
Katy Mills Mall store is 144 miles from me.
San Marcos is 227 miles from me.

Ya’ know, I think I’ll go back to the Atwoods farm store and buy some more of their brand jeans, Real Ranch. Made in Bangladesh, sizes are a little not exact, so I try on every pair. Men’s jeans, all cotton, for $12. A little loose in the leg, just right for a farmer/rancher. I bought 4 pair a few months ago. I need to go get some more!
