Sooo an update would be good to give.
Over the last weekend I was helping out on a study of razor clam consumption.
Pretty fun, got rained on hard... Papers made it through somehow.
I also got new boots. I was looking at Irish Setter because they were the ones that I had previously and as I was walking around I saw a nice pair that I loved... Turns out I got the same exact kind... Elk Tracker.. less insulation sadly, but I now have boots for the warm and the cold seasons.
The boots.My old boots were like from 10+ years ago and they are still rocking. some existing tears in the leather haven't made a problem.
