Evening all. Internet has been down and I've been trying to stretch my 30 GB hot spot limits as far as I could. Cable Fiber Optic seems to be up and running fine now.
I was the oldest so no hand me downs for me either. However, my jeans were always bought with legs too long so I had to cuff them up and unroll them as I grew. I had a number of pairs of blue jeans that were more iron on patches than denim. Also had cowboy boots wrapped in tape to hold them together.
Iron on Patches were so cool but then mom would sew them cause they could work loose, sometimes they were strange looking patches. She so creative maybe !

U no, I collect denim stuff now also never thought abut it but it must be Hereditary ! I got some Sleeves in stackable containers !
I remember my mom buying tough skins from Sears. They were basically jeans that were so rigid that they could stand in the corner by themselves. My mom would get patches for the knees (when they were brand new) and my grandma would sew them on for her as my mother could not sew much more than a button. After a week, those indestructible jeans were about worn out! The first hole in the knee was a badge of honor and a sign they were finally getting broken in. We played so hard back then. Sun-up until sun-down. We had no idea how good we had it
Howdy Guys.....
Good to have my computer running again..... Fresh load of the latest copy of Windows...... Still getting software reinstalled.....
Gray overcast day in Montana.....

Had to take Theresa into school early this morning.... Ski day at a local ski facility, Showdown. about an hour or so road trip.
Howdy guys, I've been busy learning about Medicare and all the different supplemental insurance my wife is going to have to have when I retire..... mind boggling.
Gerry,

U know I never see or at least seldom see youngsters playing out doors now. They Walk with their thumbs playing a game withtheir phone. We will have a whole Generation of young with Thumb problems. U know the thumb is the most important diget. One can work with a claw if he got the thumb.

+1 Andre. Great memory for me.
Always got new Sears tough skin pants for going back to school, in fall. Mom would of course patch them as long as she could but boys back then were tough on clothes and moms were frugal. The following spring when the warm weather arrived, the most patched pants were surgically altered to become shorts for the summer. Life was so simple back then. Summers lasted forever.
