It's Still Snowing
Hmpf. Hmpf. Also, I need a new coat; I have finally worn out my Gander Mountain fake-sheepskin-lined denim ranch jacket. Will we ever see nice weather again?
I would imagine it's hard for you to find something that fits properly, you're not "average" size. That said, Cabelas usually has nice stuff after the years end, in the non-average sizes. Trouble is you have to wait till you no longer need it to get it.

Sometime in the late 1940's my Dad told me I should buy a suede shearling ranchers coat "because one will last you a lifetime." I found one in a hock shop in 1954. It's right there on the hook. The label is ratty but the coat is not worn out yet - but I have been working on it for almost 56 years.

I hate to say it, but today was the first day this year I felt tempted to put my three-season tires back on my car.

Speaking of Cabela's, I have one of these and it works out quite nicely.
Seems they're on sale, too, though it limits your choice of color and possibly size.
