\"\"<\/a>From time to time, I post some pics of the boots I have been wearing lately.<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 29: My Sunday-go-to-meetin’ new Dan Post Sand Vegas Cut Cowboy Boots<\/a> that I wore to church with my partner.
<\/span>
\"\"<\/a>When I got home, I put on my tall Chippewa Oil-Tanned Engineer Boots <\/a> and for a short motorcycle ride to a quaint old mill town for a leisurely lunch.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>After that<\/span>, I changed from my biker duds to casual Sunday afternoon clothes, including my Nocona Ostrich Inlay Boots<\/a> and went to a political strategy meeting.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>\"\"<\/a>When I was through with that, I kicked off the yuppie clothes, leathered <\/span>up, and had som<\/span>e fun with my <\/span>hunky partner.<\/span> Oh, the boots? H-D <\/a><\/span>Police <\/a><\/span>Enforcer Boots<\/a>. They work r<\/span>eally well with chaps tucked into them (and nothing tucked into the chaps :-)).<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>\"\"<\/a>On Monday, June 30, it was raining in the morning which meant that I couldn’t ride m<\/span>y H<\/span>arley to the Metro. But it also meant that I co<\/span>ul<\/span>d wear cowboy boots with leath<\/span>er soles that I ordinarily wouldn’t use while op<\/span>erating my bike. I chose my Largato Mexican full-quill ostrich cowboy boots<\/a> which are as comfortable as slippers.
<\/span>\"\"<\/a>When I <\/span>got home from work, I did work around the yard, and booted up in my ol’ comfy Harley Harness boots. They got a little dirty <\/span>and muddy as I was helping a neighbor build a retaining wall in the stream behind his (and my) house. When I was done, I took the boots off <\/span>outside <\/span>to let <\/span>’em dry (and no<\/span>t<\/span> track dirt inside the house, which is “frowned upon.”)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I changed to some boots I hadn’t worn in ages — my Tony Lama white Firewalker <\/a><\/span>cowboy boots<\/a>. I can<\/span>‘t wear these for more than a couple hours ’cause they cause my feet to hurt due to the hi<\/span>g<\/span>her heel. I can’t really wear boots with a high heel. (Besides b<\/span>eing a klutz, high-heeled boots just cause achy feet.)<\/span>

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>Tuesday, July 1, dawned clear, so it was time to choose boots to use to ride t<\/span>o the Metro and whic<\/span>h <\/span>would look <\/span>fine with dress clothes at work. I’m <\/span>lookin’ again at my first pair of H-D Police Enforcer Boots<\/a><\/span>… ah, so comfortable. And I really like how tall boots feel on my legs as I walk around during the day.<\/span>
<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>When I got home, it was time to mow the lawn. I changed <\/span>to my Thorogood Station Boots<\/a> which have <\/span>become my <\/span>knock-about work <\/span>boots. They are comfortable and don’t get hot.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then after a quick shower and having dinner at home (as usual) with my partner, I rushed off to a public hearing. I can dress casually for these hearings, but I like to wear nice lookin’ boots. Dan Post natur<\/a><\/span>al belly-cut python cowboy boots<\/a> looked grea<\/span>t with my dar<\/span>k denim jeans and black shirt.
<\/span>
<\/span>\"\"<\/a>Wednesday, July 2, was another typical ride-the-Harley to Metro morning, <\/span>followed by a full day at work. Unlike some others, I don’t ca<\/span>rry “work sh<\/span>oes” in my briefcase. I wear what I wear for the day when I walk out the door. Today I wore my Da<\/a><\/span>n Post Black Cherry cowboy boots<\/a> whose soles are worn eno<\/span>ugh that I could wear them while riding my Harley the two-mile distance to Metro. Mind you, if I were going to be riding a longer distance, I wouldn’t wear smooth-soled boots.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>When I got home, I enjoying not having anything that I had to do, so I ki<\/span>cked back in my old comfy Chippewa Engineer Boots<\/a>. Comfy as house slippers, but durable as heck. They’ve been through the mud, muck, and ten<\/span>s of thousands of miles on my (old) Harley. I grilled dinner for my partner a<\/span>nd we ate it out on our deck. We enjoyed the evening, watching the sun slowly set and the critters in the forest behind us play.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>Thursday, July<\/span> 3, was a big day. I was joining five cop buddies of mine for a fundraiser. I left my house at 5:00am and <\/span>rode with my friends to Ocean City, Maryland, and then we rode<\/span> back west across the state. Knowing I was going to be booted all day long, I wanted boots that were comfortable, durable, and didn’t get hot. My favorite “biker boots” have become my Chippewa Firefighter Boots<\/a>. Great sole, easy on the feet, and look great, too. What could be better?<\/p>\n

<\/span>I have to admit that when I got home, I was so tired, I took off my boots (and everything else) and sat in the hot tub with my partner for an hour, then went to bed.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>Friday, July 4, was a<\/span> busy day. I hosted a breakfast for two friends and th<\/span>eir families who I had been coaching to become U.S. citizens. They were going to be sworn in as citizens in Baltimore. I put on my Dan Post black cherry Vegas cut cowboy boots<\/a>, had a nice breakfast, then took off for Baltimore.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a>After the ceremony (which was great!), my partner wasn’t feeling well and wanted to go back home. When we got there, I changed into casual clothes. The boots I picked were my short black Wesco harness boots<\/a>. I rode the Harley to my brother’s for a crab feast. I saw most of my family, had a great time, but then it looked like it was going to rain. I came home (and got there just as it began to rain. Whew!)<\/p>\n

I found my hungry partner in the basement when I got home. I fixed him dinner, then we settled back in our rec room and chilled out. I kinda have to admit, I took off the boots and relaxed, in socks! (Me!). We cuddled, talked about the day, watched the Capitol Fourth<\/i> show on TV, and then went to bed.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoyed this visit to about a week in a bootman’s life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
