Luc's are certainly the Cadillac of boots. Unfortunately I've heard their quality has slipped in recent years. Hopefully not. I know you love 'em and maybe one day I'll have some. I would love to just try some one day.looking good Guys.....this place (Nash) had a line that went around the corner most of the day.....cowboy boots rule..

Same here. Had boots as a kid, later teen and young adult and got a way when mine were ruined in a flooded basement. But began getting a few in recent years--14 pair I think now.... I have enough. Maybe. But I wear them more days than not.I've worn them since I was a little kid growing up in the MidWest. Current faves are my Dan Post rough-outs.

Canned Tamales? That’s just wrong.A young friend of mine was fascinated by the 70's concepts of canned tamales... and "Chun King" canned chow mein 'kits'.
Fried noodles in a separate can.
I think so, haven't played it in years....great tune..Good song list mate. Is Brandy the song from Guardians of the Galaxy? Brandy (you’re a fine girl) ?
Going along with many of my favorite things all begin with B (Bass, BBQ, Boots and Bibs). I found some old Nocona's from the '80s (still made in Nocona, TX). Made a cheap offer based on the issues. Kind of seen better days on the outside though having little actual wear on the soles. Had some scuffs and a couple scrapes that when through the finish. Got the sfuffs removed, cleaned and conditioned, sanded (yes) the scrapes and got some Saphir with plenty of pigment to address and then when over the vamp (bottom part) and made them look nearly new and lightened up just a bit. Old Nocona's fit me like a custom made glove. Great for playing Thunderbirds regardless of color.
Looked like this initially.

Why buy a Stetson when you can buy an Akubra?Wow. My mate was in Texas for work last week (San Antonio I think). The same guy that goes over about 4 times a year.
Anyway, I was prodding him
“Are you going to buy a Stetson?”
“Are you going to buy some Cowboy boots?”
He didn’t answer about the Stetson, but he reckons the boots are too expensive.
I’m not making fun, ok not too much, because I have 2 pairs of RM Williams boots and an Akubra hat myself. I’ve never worn boots that high up the leg though. I have enough trouble wrestling my RMW’s on - one piece of leather, no zip - just elastic on the sides and pull tabs sewn in for leverage.
RMW got rescued by Australia’s 2nd richest person… production stayed in Australia but the price has gone up enormously so nice he took them over.
Wow. We played that when I was in high school.I think so, haven't played it in years....great tune..
how come?I have never worn a pair of cowboy boots. Never will.
The paralled diodes in the bridge.you mean the paralleled 1N4007s or the varistor?....
A mere image cannot caprure the horror...Canned Tamales? That’s just wrong.
LIES (the can label, not your experience!)A mere image cannot caprure the horror...

In 1970, this was "mexican food" for my family.

I have some nice steel-toed Chippewa engineers boots I wear if casual dress on my VFR. (when not full leathers) Took a bit to break in but they are worth it: comfy, durable and protective.Same here.
