Casey's Burn Jacket

 It was still wet, but Casey wanted to burn.  This was a different kind of burn with a sad parting of sorts.  Casey has had a "burn" jacket for several years.  Anything that wears out he retires as his "work/burn" wardrobe.  This particular jacket is 36 years old. It has quite the history.  He bought it while we were dating.  It has more holes in it than fires he's started, but today he decided it was time. Time to say goodbye.  If you know Casey you know he doesn't do this often.  His favorite saying is, "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without" and that he does!  Stitching up tears, pathing up holes, and wearing our shoes wayyyy past their prime.  Ry said we should've been playing Taps.  Honestly, all the kids should've been here to witness this event. It's a jacket we've all teased him about over the years.  Should've had it framed and put into "Casey's things" museum/box, but I guess burning it seemed more appropriate😅🔥
