How'd it go today?

Nicks are the best I've ever used, worth every penny.

Read Pratchett to understand the difference between 10 and 100 dollar boots..."The Sam Vimes Theory of Boots and the Universe"

I felt the other boot split this morning. It's as bad off as the first now. I'll be buying the 50 dollar boots, since the 500 dollar ones will be a bit I'm coming regardless...

You are a Pratched fan, wonderful!
Sure didn't expect that.

I did the math on my custom Wesco boots, which with shipping and all are more than 500 bucks.
As long as they kast with a half price rebuild, they end up being cheaper than euro logging boots.

If that's a reference to my $10 boots, it isn't accurate, cause my $10 are actually $150 boots, with perhaps $20 deducted for depreciation in the case of the used ones. That's why I hoard boots. I get 14 pair for the price of a single pair ordered on the normal market.

Not so much. Since I know you're not going to read several satirical novels to understand my joke, I'll ruin it by explaining.

The Sam Vimes Theory of Boots and the Universe...

A rich man buys $100 boots. They are comfortable, they are well made, they last a long time, they dont leak.

A poor man buys $10 boots. They are worn through in a month, they always sucked, and his feet have never been dry.

At the end of the year, the poor man has spent $120 dollars on boots, and he needs a new pair. The rich man has still not replaced his, and he's likely to get some considerable time out of his boots yet.

Sam Vimes is a recurrent character in Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Vimes is the quintessential cop, a bit of everything from Perry Mason to Dirty Harry Callahan.

Yes @stig, I'm a huge Discworld junkie, I'm pretty certian I've read every one of them. I think my favorite character from the universe would have to be Death, or his granddaughter, Susan. The idea of her having "inherited" grandpa's "powers" is hilarious. Even funnier that she's a teacher...

I haven't read the books, but I did understand the reference. I didn't think your analogy was so explicit. I guess it was just coincidence that my average price of $10 hit exactly on the book reference :^)
