How the hell do you read the weather?

Ive been mindful of the weather these past few months and it seems the more often I look at it, the less I understand.

Exceptional weather aside, it has largely been 60-65 degrees. This number is downright flipping useless. This number tells you nothing at all. There will be days where it will be 61 and it'll be hotter than days that are 65. The Chilly or wunderground app will tell you these two neighborhoods are 63 degrees but of you go to both, they're nothing alike.

The weather app says tommorow is warmer than today? How? When? Where? They both read 63 today and tommorow.

Im getting a little annoyed trying to understand.

Century denim shrink concerns.

When these jeans were brand spankin new, they were so roomy and comfortable. I wore them to the gym and I could do lunges and barbell squats no problem. I could slump into a chair with the worst posture imaginable and it would be alright.

I put maybe 40-50 wears into them before washing them cold in a bathtub. Hang dry. At this point the jeans had certainly shrunk but I figured maybe they would stretch back out if I wore em intermittently around the house. So far, no luck.

Now they feel uncomfortably tight around the hips when I try to do any sorta dynamic movement..no more gyming in these. I gotta sit down properly now too.

The damndest part is I'm not even sure where it shrunk, if it did at all. I measured them before and after wash and nothing unusual seems to have happened.

Now I try to stand straight AND THERE'S A GODDAMN MOOSE KNUCKLE AT THE CROTCH AREA? Please, I need some reassurances...both to either keep or to sell it off. Damn do they look cool tho.

Boston sizings and my general thoughts after 20-30 minutes.

Im deciding between a size 41 or 42 or maybe even neither.

Ive been wearing em around the store for a food 20-30 minutes and my thoughts so far.

Size 42s, visually speaking they appear to have the appropriate amount of volume for my foot. To my understanding atleast, abit of gap between the heel and lip is recognizing.

They are very unstable tho. Even with the strap tightened to its upmost, I feel like they might fly off my foot. Considerable thought has to be put in to keeping them on such as a shorter stride or curling the toes.

Size 41s, visually appears short. More often than not, my heel is flush against the lip. Hugs the sides of my foot, specifically the area above the arch/below the ankle much more snuggly. The side of the Boston may fold under my arch. Minor concern as tightening the strap makes this issue negligible.

They might possibly still fly off my foot, it hasnt happened in my test walk around the store tho. Considerably less thought is put into ensuring it stays on relative to the size 42s.

Did I mention that the size 42s at one point slid so far forward that I stepped onto the heel lip? That kinda hurt.

Overall though, the 41 just seems like the correct choice but the lingering fear that I might kick them off is still present. That makes me hesitant to pick either or.
