They look like they might be alright. My current pair are Hoggs, standard leather riggers. Nice, comfy boots. Just not waterproof, as they claim to be.

American Bully XL - the name says it all really. People aren't buying them for companionship or to run around with the kids on the lawn are they?

Maybe try to aquire a load of free pallets prior to starting the re-jigging work. Good source of free timber for building shelves, log stores/racks/boxes and anything else besides.
-
Nice. Thank you. That's the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Are they made of leather from the skin of puppies or unborn babies or something?! I take your point about lack of ankle support though. I noticed that they're banned on building sites now, maybe that's why. I should have said; I don't wear them for working anymore really, more just for kicking around, walking, camping or whatever. Not having to bother with laces, slip on/off, is a big plus point.

Ah, the old waterproof jacket dilemma - you either get wet from outside or wet from inside! I hoped that might not be the case with rigger boots. My chainsaw boots seem to be ideal in that respect, completely waterproof even wearing all day on wet ground, but not very hot and sweaty inside. Not an expensive make, Elten I think.

Maybe they can't be bothered to try to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem.

You're right, that does work, cheers. I've spent ages putting on leather cream, Dubbin, Mink Oil! in the past. It does stop the water, but only for a limited time in my experience. I'm too lazy to put it on frequently now so looking for a pair of boots with a waterproof lining/membrane.

Looks like it'll be a nice day here, dry and sunny, up to 18 degrees. It's definitely feeling very autumnal though.
-
Yeah, kinda. But I was hoping for something a bit more breathable.
-
Recommendations please anyone? Ta I've had several pairs over the years but non have ever been truly waterproof, more like shower proof; water always seems to soak in, leading to damp to wet feet after a few hours in the rain.

It's been cooler here today in the Midlands, but it felt even more humid and sweaty somehow. We had a couple of very light showers this morning, but nothing like the rain and storms forecast. We could do with it to be honest.

Maybe he had a Booty Call from Chiswick. Can't really blame him if he'd just come out of prison.

Where are those centre points taken as? Is/was there some kind of standard, like the post office, or church or something?
-
Hang on, hang on. Is this some kind of trans-universe version of Arbtalk; where Men are Trolls, and Trolls are Men? Confusing. It's time for The Great Reset.

Must have been some serious beta-blockers.

I'd like to think I'd do it. With gritted teeth and arms wrapped completely around the ladder. Until I got to the sting in the tail at the top that is.........

I know. Some kind of new fangled coconut husk concoction I think they were, last minute purchase. They did the job though to be fair.. Response #2

In fact, who needs ropes at all?! Another very old school clip for you. Frightening!!

INDIAN BEAN TREE (Catalpa Bignonioides Nana)
sime42 replied to Porscheman's topic in Tree health care
Catalpa grafted on to a cherry root stock? Sounds an odd combination. -
Making the most of this fine weather. Only slightly marred by a couple of annoying, persistent little wasps.
