    Lunch, Anybody?

    There's always roast beef at my house. And I'm always eating it. Typical American food. No style. No presentation. Greedy. Red meat stacked an inch high. 2 eggs, cooked until the edges are crispy and still runny in the middle.

    Christmas Music

    Okay. Let's have it. Post your Christmas Music. Good, Bad, and Ugly. Even if you think that Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey are the same person. They are really two different people. Even if all of my ex-girlfriends look like clones.

    For the small community of boot nerds, with a smaller percentage of whom are Indy Boot nerds, it was quite the ruckus. The rest of the world didn't notice. It wasn't just Alden. Wesco, Danner, Wolverine 1000 Mile, Allen Edmonds, Dr. Martens, NPS Solovair, and other shoes got bad...

    Right or wrong, these are the products I use on my leather. Shoes, jackets, motorcycle saddle, etc. I clean with saddle soap. I don't know if there is a better alternative. I add oil. Leather absorbs the oil. Oil and water do not mix. Water cannot saturate and go through an oiled...

    I hope that you can find a competent cobbler who won't mess the shoes up. Pacific Northwest boot companies will often replace the vamp, and then relast the shoe. Local cobblers won't do that. They don't have the lasts, and most do not have the skill or machinery to pull a new piece of leather...

    That guy, like every youtuber, gets paid by youtube based on an algorithm of likes, subscribes, and comments. Like these comments from a more recent video. The guy from that channel also "collaborates" with the shoe companies. He works with them to design a shoe to certain...

    And yes, I'm using the green laces. Buying new laces would cost more money.

    You know people who talk about a shoe from South Africa? I see their social media marketing presence. A collection of youtube videos on their own channel, plus reviews. Reviews which also have a "click to buy" link, which means the reviewer gets a commission on those sales. Essentially, the...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    I went out to The Yard to gather some random produce. It turns out that The X also bought tomatoes. "Good job. You grow those things all year, and got about $1 worth of food. What did it cost to grow them?" What she doesn't know is that it didn't cost a thing. I didn't even buy...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Once again, it was tri tip day. Instead of the "traditional" way of cutting the meat. The X likes it cut at a different angle. So that the larger pieces are about the size of a NY steak.

    Experimenting on foods.

    The X declared that from now on, all of our poultry will be boneless. Turkey, chicken, duck...... only it's me who has to debone the birds.

    Viberg Boots

    Fast forward to today. We now have YouTube and all of the content creators. You have to set your own filters for bias. Some videos are sponsored by the manufacturer. Some videos are produced by content creators who collaborate with the manufacturer. Some videos have a link to click, so that...

    Clarks Desert Boots Lately

    Apparently the Clarks Desert Boot is inspired by a "vellie". I was inspired by Amazon's sale prices.

    Leather Police Jackets

    There were police and "alphabet soup" agents from every agency that you can imagine. From very small, local townships, community colleges, park rangers, to federal level. Those were the motorcycles for just one motorcade. There were dozens of motorcades. All of the foreign dignitaries also...

    Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) discussion

    Quite a few base layer options. I've tried the ECWCS. I prefer the silk found in the civilian market.

    Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) discussion

    Too bad for me that I'm physically larger than my Dad. Other people in the family will get a lot of good stuff from him. Not me. Once, I took a M-65 field coat liner to a tailor, and had it shortened. I could have done it myself, but at that point in time, I did not own a sewing machine...

    An absolute value when you can buy them for around $20 from Amazon or Costco. I have several. Very much worth the money. For motorcycle rides I like Eddie Bauer goose down hoodies. They are lightweight and warm. My dad has an old Eddie Bauer leather jacket, which they call an "aviator...

    Experimenting on foods.

    My next ex thinks I'm a barbarian. It's in my genetics. Part of my DNA. Savage. Evolution skipped my ethnic lineage. I'm still cooking on cast iron. We still eat with two sticks. Our meat is rare. Our eggs are rare. This is why I do not buy sandwiches. I make my own, to my liking. With my...
