What do you guys do with your old cowboy boots? Do you give them to thrift stores? Chuck 'em away? I am a border line hoarder I'm sorry to say, and practically can't bear to throw anything away. I mentioned in an earlier post that the second pair of boots I bought during my first visit to the...

Thanks everyone for your kind words and welcome. I have to apologise for the pretty average quality of my photographs. I'll try and post some better pics of other shirts I've got soon, if I can figure out how to reduce their size (the pictures, that is!). Otherwise I'll have to get my wife or...

Here are those Chisholms I mentioned earlier. I didn't take any photos of them when I sold them around 1990- no digital cameras back then, and I didn't photograph stuff I owned- my obsession hadn't reached that stage yet. But I found these photos on the net- mine were exactly the same. In fact...

Hello folks- this is my first post on this excellent site, which I discovered a few days ago. They are cool looking boots, for sure. I've not really heard of freshwater sharks. Are they relatively harmless, like freshwater crocodiles? Recently in Adelaide, South Australia,where I live, there...
