Seriously those are the weirdest muck boots I've ever seen!

Moshing, but yeah. I love those boots.

Funny story about them actually. I had been at Job Corps in Pitts and had just got home. A chick I met up there had come down for the weekend so we went down to Georgetown and I found to boots and bought them on the spot.

Few weeks later I went to hang out with my local friends and a girl that didn't really like me sucker punched me when she saw me wearing the boots. Apparently she had been saving up for them and went down to get them the same weekend I bought them and found them gone.

Less than a year later I move out of my parents to my first apartment and shortly after that Miss Punchy starts crashing at my place in the middle of the night (she was a terrible night manager for a worse hotel and would borrow half my bed to sleep during her shift).

26 years later, the boots have long been her's, and I can't seem to get rid of her :lol:

I feel compelled to ask if you dragged those boots out of the closet, but I feel like it was the opposite.

Is this life imitating art or do I have mutant powers...

Just got a text that all the things I found have been fixed, but he found some items that he isn't happy with so he's still working on it :roll:

The lighting in the first set makes it difficult to pick out the new painted arches, but their really finish it off nicely and I love the new wheels :mrgreen:
