A boot in the bed is worth two in the Bush

 




As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.


When JYG phoned me up and told me I needed another pickup box trailer to put wood in, I was agreeable, even if the snow and ice was two feet deep, inside and outside the trailer. That was in December, and the fact is, that trailer still has snow and ice in it, and it is gaining on March as I type this.

Something though appeared on the edge of the ice in what looked like a hunting boot. I was delighted as TL was, as perhaps this was a pair of hunting boots. I have no idea why people throw boots into a trailer with junk, but these after I discovered there were two of them and brought them in, looked well worn on the Vibram soles and after a good slathering of mink lard, the above is what they are...........with new shoe strings of a 1.45 as the one boot had no strings and the other had a leather boot lace that was not going to last.

These are 202 dollar boots which makes them more appealing and as I have a number of dead guy boots with petite footies, I am quite pleased with them as I do not get creeped out about wearing dead guy things. Mind you I do not want to be undressing dead guys for their clothes, but already in the back of the bed of a truck, is ok with me.

This wagon box seems to be more of a casket to this dead guy. He built this thing, quite a bit of effort and money, and it had new tires on it........but I figure he died, as the boots and some butter knives were in there, along with exhaust pipe and some other junk. He was not that able of builder, but he tried and when he died, no one wanted his treasure and no one wanted dead guy's boots........except me.

I plan to wear these when the ice is gone and it dries some as my go to work boots. No sense in ruining a nice pair, if I had them anyway. So I will wear these.

I was amazed how the mink lard softened the leather up in a few hours. I was thinking about putting Flax oil on them, but will see how this goes as the results were quite good, as I will plastic grocery bag them up, and let things penetrate that way for the big debut of a walk down the driveway. I suspect I will have to wear them in a bit, or I would get blisters.

Just hope the soles hold together and I should be able to get almost to when Jesus comes back on the life left in these boots.


They just needed some love and now they have it. Listen you squeamers, the shit hits the fan, there is not going to be any manufacturing. If you did not buy boots, your boots are going to come off of dead people, rotted dead people and if that does not destroy them, you are going to have a stink on your feet which will not wash off and the dogs will follow you around licking your boots if they like you, and chewing your legs off if it is a wild herd.
So get used to dead people stuff as that is all there is going to be.




Nuff Said
