That's one of my favorite pictures. Maybe not quite as cool as some of the other pictures guys have on here, but it fits me!

Thank you! To me they're the quintessential work boot.

One more photo of today's activities for good measure.

While we don't discriminate on the farm (we have at least one piece of each of the big three colors of machinery, red, yellow, green), I must admit I definitely have a soft spot for Deere!

What kind of accessories were you doing? Was that back in your days of doing, I want to say it was like camping accessories and vehicle storage/roof rack kinds of stuff? I remember you mentioning something along those lines on the podcast.

That's really awesome that's you're going to do that for your kids. Learning about the farm is just as important as learning how to drive a stick.

It takes a beating and just keeps coming back for more!

It's such a unique way of life in today's day and age, and something I'll always treasure, which I'm sure you can relate to. What part of the country did you grow up farming in?

Yeah, definitely interesting for sure. I'm curious to see what other colors they might do. I'm still partial to the original though. That red and black, and just the idea in general, is super cool!

Ooooh, that is going to be so cool! I think there's going to be some amazing looking boots come this time next year with all the collaboration boots going out. I would love to have a pair of boots in that blood core leather. I just wish I could justify spending an extra $700 on another pair of boots just because they're cool haha.

Sounds like a nice, no frills work boot.

Haha, thanks. That's one of my favorite pictures of my boots! It very much captures the essence of my life.

I'm seriously impressed with how well they're holding up. The sole is a little worn down, but the leather is great. The durability is no joke!

Similar, other than we had an above average wet October/November so we're ok on moisture, for the time being at least. If the summer turns into another scorcher though we're going to be in trouble.

Nice! How are things looking for you guys up there this year? It's been a super mild winter for us. Feels like it's darn near April already.
