    Army boots, Danish m/58. Which do you use?

    Anywhere from size 9-10.5US. I don't know the Australian model name, or how they might be generally known. I've only rarely really looked on ebay. Like many I'm sure, I go through phases. Search every day, but then move onto the next fascination.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Country Music documentary. PBS. How frustrating this has been. Coming too fast. So much research to do as it went. I was averaging around 45 minutes a viewing. Then PBS decides to yank it from On Demand not that long after it aired. Maybe three weeks? I didn't get to see the final two...

    Army boots, Danish m/58. Which do you use?

    I've long been a Corcoran guy. They have several styles I like, from WWII era to present use. The paratrooper/jump boots with "fancy" toe cap are classic. The ones with vintage uppers paired with newer technology soles are incredibly comfortable and good for all seasons. I keep an eye out...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Terror: Infamy. AMC. season finale #1. I repeat: this season has been stupid. I will say that the finale was better than the past several episodes though. It has that going for it. Lodge 49. AMC. season finale #2. I'm sorry to have this one end. I looked forward to it every week...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Terror: Infamy. AMC. I'm calling it. This season has been stupid. Lodge 49. AMC. How the heck did this show get Paul Giamatti? This season has a 100/88 rating at Rotten Tomatoes. I thought maybe I was the only one thinking this ridiculous series is somehow worth the time. This last...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Durrells in Corfu. PBS. final season. first episode (only six this season). I'll miss this one. It's pure joy and beautifully shot. At times, it's a little thin in story, but I love all the characters. Genuinely wholesome and funny. The kid actors sprouted in-between seasons. I...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Poldark. PBS. This is the final season. Thank goodness. Not that I don't enjoy it on some levels, but what was once an above average soap opera is a full-fledged lower tier soap opera. The dialog is written at a 5th grade level. The editing or directing on this episode was awful. There's...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Ken Burns: Country Music. PBS. I gave up after episode 2. I'm interested. Very interested, but I can't do it for two hours a day, a week or more in a row. If a documentary like this is good, which it is, not only do I need some time to digest the information, but I would also like a week...

    boot oil

    Obenauf's Leather Oil as a premium, or even Lexol Leather Conditioner. You can find the latter everywhere and is relatively economical in the leather care game. I'd avoid Mink and Neatsfoot.

    I turned on CC, and he was saying "moom". Humperdoo can't even say moon. Cracked me up.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Ken Burns: Country Music. PBS. episode 1 of 8; 14+ hours total. If you like Burns' documentaries, then you'll enjoy this. I did. I do wish it was made a little more clear why Jimmie Rodgers and The Carters stood out from everyone else. I love old Appalachian folk, earliest blues, work...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Preacher. AMC. This season has picked up (slightly). The actor doing Humperdoo is good. I lose my breath laughing so hard. I feel he's playing it very much in the vein of how Tim Conway would play idiots. Lodge 49. AMC. I still have no idea what this show is about, and they keep...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I suspect not much can live off anything covered with concrete dust and residue. You're probably safe from mold. If it does show up, I've had good luck rubbing down molding leather with a vinegar dampened cloth.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Nice work. Good on the hair dryer. If that's mold, I would have added vinegar to the wash. If you didn't kill it, you might want to watch for it popping up again.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Terror: Infamy. AMC. This is nothing like the first season. The first season was technically lush and a well-told, ominous, relatively engaging story. This second season feels like it was on a discount store budget, and the story is every bit as poorly executed. I haven't seen such a...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sharp Objects. HBO. This wasn't high on my list to-watch, but I knew it wasn't a huge investment. I think it took me more than a month to watch the eight episodes. The feel of the series was good, then tedious, but always consistent. One of those typical murder mysteries with lots of...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm miffed by the utter contempt some of you fellas have for that whole Woodstock situation. Most success stories are rife with good fortune and were blessed with the luxury of luck. I suppose it makes sense considering the demographics of this site. Just rather odd considering how positive...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    While it was a business venture to start, I've never got the impression it was quite like you're alluding here. However, the Boomers sure did become selfish, opportunistic, pull the ladder up as they go fiends as they grew out of that time. Then again, I've concluded that a heck of a lot of...

    Bib overalls and suit jackets

    I've always thought this was a cool look. Overalls get hot to me, though. Like sweaters. Love me a thick Norwegian styled fisherman sweater etc. Too hot to wear inside.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Michael K. Williams is magnetic. He was one of the better parts of Boardwalk Empire as well. And The Night Of, which was otherwise mostly a disappointment. I never did see Hap and Leonard. He did an interesting series on Vice called Black Market. The guy gives a good interview too.
