A Glimpse Into My Weekend
Ah, I lead such a grand and glorious social life. For example, Friday evening, I dressed in my leather best (leather shirt, shiny black leather pants, and shined black Chippewa harness boots), and after feeding the Spouse an early dinner, I headed out…

Last of the Cold Weather Means What?
This weekend here in Maryland, we are experiencing some lower-than-average temperatures. In fact, last night we were notified about potential freezing.

Road Block II
I had mentioned before that I have hit a wall on ideas for the blog and have writer’s block again. Part of the problem is my own doing.

Readers of this blog are aware that I have had concerns about my feet spreading and lower legs losing muscle tone with age. As a result, I finally decided as I approach my sixth decade to …

Roadblock
Or shall I say, “writer’s block” again. Sigh…
There is a lot of information on this blog about men’s boots, wearing them, their varieties and composition, how worn, and overcoming fears about wearing boots and/or leather garments that I…

Tecovas Review II
I wrote a post on this blog on March 7 about a new pair of Tecovas boots that I bought. I had recently discovered the brand.
Now that I have had the boots for a while and have broken them in, my opinion and review of these boots has changed a little…and not better. Read on…

Come Ride
Finally had time to process video that I took using a helmet-mounted GoPro during my ride last week astride a rental Harley along the western and northern coast roads of the “Big Island,” the Island of Hawaii.
Join me…
