I want some roper boots.calling all owners

I want to get some roper boots, mostly because I don't like the higher heel on my cowboy boots. I am looking for a pair of boots that I can wear at the farm and that will distress and get better looking with age (no Saphir on these). Ideally, I would like boots made in the USA. Justin has a few that are interesting, but I wanted to get yall's opinion too.

Guide to newbies?

Hi.



I don't currently have anything, and honestly I don't know where to start with the whole thing :blushing:



I just saw a friend using it, and he doesn't know much about this either, as he got a set(?) as a gift from someone.





Is there like a guide for someone like me in terms of where to start looking, what to look for, glossaries, etc...?



Can someone point me in the right direction?



Thanks in advance!

Boston butt with the BBQ guru

I'll make this question simple. Here is what I am working with:



kamado Joe

BBQ guru dx2

both maverick and BBQ guru meat and grill thermometer

9.5 LB butt



first 7-8 hours went perfect at 220 degrees. Both the smoker and guru were reading similar pit temps. For the past 3 hours I am getting a 50 degree difference in the cooker and guru (guru being the higher). Which do I trust? I would hope the guru, as it was 300 bucks.



I have done other butts, so I am familiar with stall temps, but almost 3 hours at 165-169 stall. Is this normal?

Converted! (Acceptance of the burn)

I recently posted about my confusion regarding the allure of alcohol-based aftershaves. On a whim, I used my sabbatical exception to get a bottle of Myrsol Agua de Limon to see what Myrsol was about.



I learned some things, both about that aftershave, and about myself:



1) the purpose of an AS is to sanitize and heal the skin after shaving. Alcohol sanitizes. I just needed to strap up and accept that as part of the deal.



2) this version of Myrsol's scent goes away pretty quickly, leaving the skin with a clean feeling. As a troop, I can't smell like aftershave all day. That's a deal-breaker for me. Myrsol meets the intent.



3) why limit myself, though? There are a lot of products to try. I should really get after it. Shenanigans, I'm chuckin' deuces!



I just sent a bottle of Myrsol and a bottle of RazoRock Evil Eye Lime aftershave to my brother. He'll see things my way shortly.

Anyone go from face latherer' to BK12?

I just jumped on the opportunity to trade my simpson chubby 2 in best with all its firm scrubbing glory for a Kent BLK12. Not sure what I got myself into but it called my name is all I can say. Not sure if I truly grasp how big and floppy it might be. Anyone else make this jump? What can I expect?

Haberdashery Shoes / Bostonian Andover Size 12W Two Pairs, One Black, One Burgundy

Good evening gentlemen. I have two pairs of moderately used Bostonian Andover shoes for sale. One pair is in black and the other is in burgundy. Both are size 12W and are just a bit too wide for me. I am a true size 12D, but when I ordered these a couple years ago it was recommended to a little wider as this style tends to run narrow. I think they are close, but still a bit wide for me so I'd like to pass them on to someone else if possible. They are both the cap toe blucher style shoe with five eyelets. The soles and heels are partially leather and partially rubber. Regular wear with minor scuffs and scratches. They could use a shine, I brushed them off good. I haven't wore them in quite a while and I recall wearing the burgundy a bit more than the black, so the burgundy probably has just a tad more wear. Some creasing of the uppers, I tried to show that in the photos. The insoles are still in very good condition, I think I got a pretty good photo of that on both pairs. The shoelaces are still like new.



I recall paying a little over a hundred dollars a pair brand new for these and I think that they still retail for about that. I'm looking to get $80 for both pairs shipped CONUS. I don't have the original boxes, so I'll pack them together in a larger box and ship them together wrapped up in tissue/newspaper and bubble wrap.



Paypal only please. Thanks for looking and here are some photos:
