WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
Meanwhile, in Colorado…
Got dumped on again for the second time in as many weeks, 8” or more each time of concrete.Time for some snow removal. I’m going to wear some new Chelsea boots made from waxed suede from CF the same way I’d normally wear Sorel clodhopper boots for the chore.
Accidental crotch shot with the zoom on 5x instead of 1x. I’m including it cos it kind of looks cool.
They shed snow, but I left what snow sit on them sit there and melt, then run off and evaporate. @Mizmazzle you're gonna be super stoked.
Cleared this and the back deck and they worked great as straight up snow boots.
Shout out to Ridgeway outsoles too. Very grippy in the snow but they shed it and don’t bring much inside.

@mclaincausey i opted to take the dog to the park. Had the whole place to ourselves!! So stoked to add the new hiking boots to my collection! Yours look stellar!!

@long_john86 you’re a patient man. I’d have been all beefed up on confidence behind my bullet proof IH gear and gave the whipper snapper a firm talking to!
-
@Mizmazzle It was tempting - definitely had to channel my mid/late thirties placid zen vibe!
-
@long_john86 wait until that turns in to your mid to late 40s!! All hope for humanity begins to look bleak.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle
haha noted. Although I do have a custom mister Lou order due to land in/around my 40th via IH so maybe that will take the edge off?! Pretty sure seen you rockin’ a Morrison - if the custom last is as perfect as I am expecting (hoping) that will be the next on the list - so maybe at the 42/43 mark!! Jeeeezus…6'4".

@Matt there is a really horrible tradition in Manchester for throwing pints up in the air. Very much rooted in the Madchester / Oasis / drench-your-brethren-in-a-plastic-pint-of-your-p*ss school.
Local press have referred to it as “aggressively happy”. I would call it something completely different….!
"The beer's crap here, it's no wonder you're throwing it!"
-
@long_john86 I've of course heard Madchester but it just dawned on me... is Ladchester a thing?
-
@long_john86 yup! New boots always helps. My Morrisons fit like a dream and are custom fit. Been meaning to queue up another set of custom wescos but damnit, that wait time. Could be a good plan to order and forget em and then be stoked in a couple years!! I’ll probably need orthotics by then.

@popvulture my lady bought me a pair of Viberg Pacheno Bay hikers for my birthday today! Been wanting a top build hiker model forever. Feeling very boot blessed this year.
-
Damn dude, happy birthday! And helluva boot score — congrats on those. I love some hiking boots, got some Mountain Lights I've had for several years now that have held up really nicely. Always nice to put em on, because I know I'm doing something fun.
-
@Mizmazzle Well Happy Birthday,hope she got you some new socks to go with those boots. An inside joke from the American Football thread.
-
Thanks man. Birthday isn’t until end of March hahah. But found this last pair anywhere available on the World Wide Web in my size and jumped on em. Feel like my birthday gifts come earlier every year before my birthday these days haha. Come end of March it’s just cake and ice cream.
@Jett129 haha. Training camp is just 120 days away!! Gonna start the new socks extra early this season for increased “stick with it ness!!”

Went to the Monet’s Garden exhibition in Stockholm. You could paint your own water lily, have it scanned and projected in the artificial dam… pictured is me in the process (at the childrens table) and the result.
