Best thing I ever bought?

In that last post, I'm wearing my beloved Red Wing boots.  Seriously, these are just about the most satisfying purchase ever.  Gardening, dumb end-ing, any other general labor...or for rock, really.

The best thing is I just read up on how they really do resole them for a "nominal sum."  So, while I have worn these for four years and am still about two years from needing a resoling.  Just good to know they were worth the 11K or whatever the hell they cost.
