I do the on/off pretty much like you, Mark. I wear work pants like Dickies now that I don't have a job. I'm thinking about cargo style, but as Poca mentioned, I'll have to look into the pocket placement. I wear cargo shorts like from Carhartt when it's warm, and I miss being able to put my phone somewhere other than my shirt pocket.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
