I doubt you'll find that style of boot with a full traditional leather insole without going custom. Manufacturers know that most people throw those kinds of boots away instead of getting multiple resoles done, so there isn't much point to going to the extra expense of doing it that way.
i have been wearing this pair of Dan Post 2111 Calf skins since 1991. 3 re-soles thus far.

As a preface, in round numbers, Biden carried around 500 large, highly populated urban counties. Trump carried around 2,500 counties, many of those located in lightly populated flyover country.
I hunt in Menard and Schleicher counties. That is flyover country, for sure. Both solidly Red in recent elections.
The latest statistics I saw tonight show that Menard County has a Covid death statistic of 16,136 per 100,000 of population. Schleicher County shows a Covid death statistic of 12,925 per 100,000 of population.
Menard County has experienced 11 total deaths attributed to Covid from 2020 to date. Schleicher County has experienced 9 total deaths attributed to Covid from 2020 to date.
The population of Menard County is around 2,250. The population of Schleicher County is around 2,450.
I would be interested to see how these two lightly populated counties, and others like them, impacted the conclusions of this study.

It's a pretty long boat ride, but it looks like you can get to the back side of the Inks Lake dam from this public ramp:
Lake LBJ can also be accessed via the Llano River on a one-lane concrete ramp at Kingsland Community Park off RR 2900. A boat launch fee is required at the ramp, which is operated by the Kingsland/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce. Open year-round, it is day-use only. Call (325) 388-6211 for more information.

UPDATE: 36-33 Liberty Hill.
UPDATE: 43-40 Liberty with 1:30.
43-40 Liberty Hill is the final score. The first (and last) loss for the Alamo Heights Mules this season.

That rendering of downtown has to be like 5-6 years old at least.
The article mentioned that point:
"A massing of the Sixth and Rio Grande tower plan that’s roughly accurate to its stated height and the limitations of the Capitol View Corridor passing through the site, though the real tower could look very different than this cosmetically. You’ll notice that Google Earth’s 3D buildings are pretty out of date — nearby condo towers Fifth & West and the Independent are both under construction here, with other new towers totally missing.

0Generally a push time-wise. San Antonio starting point might make a difference on route. I've done both. The 90 route is more interesting, but doing cruise control on I-10 is way less off a drain on the driver.
I-10 route means barbecue in Junction. 90 route means tacos in Del Rio.

Worked with a guy way back who (allegedly) lost his ring finger checking a load of hay (ring got stuck somewhere as/when he jumped down) or something.
I don't even wear a watch. Next time you're wondering what time it is, make a good effort to guess before you check (your phone, duh).
Same here on the loss of a finger due to wedding band. I ditched the watch 15+ years ago when smart phones became a thing.

Brother in law is one of these who blows his wad chasing bourbon and waiting outside liquor stores like he's in the year 2000 waiting outside Walmart all night for a PS2 launch. I don't get it but it's not my time and money wasted.
I enjoy a good scotch occasionally but haven't cared for bourbon so haven't tried any in years. What's the consensus on the best bottle of bourbon I could walk into a specs or total wine and buy tomorrow? I'd like to try one to see if I like it any better than 20 years ago.
I like Angel's Envy sometime. Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey are my everydays.

Like any good Texan, I sing my children to sleep with London Homesick Blues. It's about the perfect song to put an unruly child to sleep to. And I have plenty of unruly children to attest to it.
It was Ernest Tubb's "Waltz Across Texas" at our house, but whatever works!

It will find its way around the vaccinations because that is what a lab created virus does. It mutates.
Not at all sure that a virus needs to be lab created to mutate. Look at recent history as to how the annual flu shots have been hit or miss as to the efficacy related to the strain that will be going around in a given year.

Ozona Grill on Greenville Ave. in Dallas has always done a pretty good "as big as your head" CFS.
