I think your shirt cuffs may have some light fraying.

Ghost town or one lone cabin

Years and years ago I was hunting in Maine, I walked about 3 miles up a ridge line and came across huge deer tracks and followed them for a couple hours and came across a small 10x10 cabin in the middle of nowhere. My first thought was how did someone drag everything up here to build a cabin and my second thought was what was inside.

The door was closed with wire twisted between 2 eye-loops so in I went after unraveling them and found a bunk bed on one side a small wood stove on the other and some canned soups, beans and instant coffee. A few old sweatshirts and a couple of sleeping bags hanging from a rod in the ceiling.

There was a sign that said help yourself if you are in need and a note showing the last time the "owners" had been there was 2 years before.

It's a really good thing you didn't meet two men like these:

After splurging for the 214270, I'm wearing my shirts for as long as there's cuff left on them!

Don't worry. No ones looking at your cuffs. The watch detracts!

Those cuffs give you that real Grizzly Abrams look.
