a bright spot

well after a fairly rough start to the week, i encountered a bright spot waiting on my doorstep at home. my Raichle Montagna boots have been repaired and resoled, and the new Vibram rubber looks like fun. we got lugs!

these boots have become like good, comfortable friends over the span of our currently thirteen year old relationship...and i'm looking forward to our upcoming foray into the Rockies.

Thanks to Cobbler Dave Page out of Seattle for the quality repair!

they just don't make boots like they used to...cliche but true.

age-worthy denotes efficient use of materials!!!

hopefully the resistance met today will yield learning for tomorrow.
