I just received a <a href=\"https:\/\/bootedman.com\/gear\/fetish\/stetsonshirt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new leather shirt with the Stetson label<\/a>. It is really soft and quite comfortable. It has become a new everyday favorite.<\/p>\n<p>When I go out, often I am in my EMS uniform as I serve as a vaccinator.  If I go out to the grocery store, I will wear my full leathers plus a leather motorcycle jacket (such as my comfy Schott Perfecto.)<\/p>\n<p>I have no other reasons to go out.  All of the community meetings that I used to attend in person are still meeting in the virtual world. For a few of those, I&#8217;ll wear a tie &#8212; a leather tie &#8212; with my leather shirt.  (No one has said a thing except one guy with the &#8220;Zoom joke&#8221; of &#8220;are you wearing leather underwear?&#8221;  Hmm&#8230; no, but reminded me that I do have a leather jock [giggle].)  No, I don&#8217;t wear the Muir cap on virtual meetings.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Cookpasta.jpg?resize=210%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Cookpasta.jpg?resize=210%2C300&amp;ssl=1 210w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Cookpasta.jpg?resize=105%2C150&amp;ssl=1 105w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Cookpasta.jpg?w=224&amp;ssl=1 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/>Since I built a wonderful chef&#8217;s kitchen when I built the house I live in, I love to cook at home.
