And who said boots aren’t a year round thing?

I haven’t seen this many boots on a Friday since the trunk show deliveries came in!!

Well done gents.

Now, who has an AE boot in garnet?!? Let’s see ‘em...quit holding out.

I've decided that I want to pay less in government theft, so I'm starting a personal travel/style blog (naturally with a YT channel I'm sure). I need help with a name. Suggestions so far:

Aging Raver Adventures
Studying Abroad With The Professor

If you have something else in mind, throw it at me. It'll be *centered* around the trips/adventures we go on, but there will be some style-related stuff as well just to kinda fill in the chunks of time where I don't go anywhere (which are fairly substantial, since I only get 30 days of leave a year).

Figure being able to deduct all that stuff from my taxes should make for a nice offset to buy more AE shell.

AW YEAH ON TOPIC AFTER ALL!!!

Anywho.

Ravaging Adventurer ("Ravaging" combines "aging" and "raver" - sorta...)

Bourbon Leeds today. Have a great weekend, Fellas.

 

[jet-stream]

Agreed, I'm a member of the TS2019 Burg Higgies club as well, also ordered through Ashley but only on the phone.

I’m in the same club with you and @donkeyhoatie (though I refer to them as Higgundy Mills...)

(Not from today. It is hot)

America: A Horse With No Shame

I like the aging raver idea (you’ve already used that) and was going to suggest changing “adventures” to “misadventures” but ace’s suggestion is sublime. Go with that.

Only two possible modifications I can think of:
- ‘Murca: A Horse with no Shame. This has the added bonus of deconflicting a bit more from an album cover for those who aren’t close readers.
- Adding words before or after to create an acronym; this would pay homage to the military. It should be inappropriate to pay homage to you.

Day 3 of the @ae_ashley appreciation brings us this example that I never knew I wanted.

I'd considered a Dalton in the past. At first, I thought I'd get a walnut pair, but with a golden CXL pair of Longbranch boots, it seemed a bit redundant. Then, I thought that maybe chili would be a good fit, but when Ashley got me into that pair of chili MacNeils, it kind of scratched my chili itch. Thought about dark brown, but with a good number of dark brown boots already, I had trouble justifying it. Maybe a burgundy shell version? Well, the pair of burgundy shell HMs took precedence.

When Ashley e-mailed me, almost apologetically, about a pair of Daltons that had come in I thought it would be easy to say no. I was still riding the high of the shell HMs, the wallet was still feeling the lows of the TS2019 purchase, and I had all the afore-mentioned anti-Dalton logic listed above.

I really am a moron.

Of course I said yes to Ashley. She told me about an oxblood pair of Daltons with red Dainite soles. She assured me that, even though that combination sounded weird, it looked really cool. I asked for pictures and a price and was pleasantly gobsmacked by both. A couple days later, they were mine. And, yeah, they still look really cool, especially hidden under my desk basking in the glory of the corporate carpet.

Oh wow those do look really cool!

Is the way to make money with a blog in the tax write-off's? Or can one actually earn an income from a blog?

If Ashley were to contact me about another pair of Wolverine 1000 miles.........I might buy them....

Definitely can, but you've got to have a lot of eyeballs on your site.

ads and affiliate links, mostly.

but i also dislike where government theft has gotten to, so primary goal is (legally) reducing my tax liability.

politics aside, if every billionaire in the U.S. gave *EVERYTHING* they had to the government--i mean they went straight up penniless--there would be enough money there to run the government for less than a year. i don't think the problem is nearly as much "some people don't pay their fair share".....I think the problem is "why the **** are we letting congress spend that much money?"

if I can reduce my tax liability and get a source of income rolling (via monetized YT channel and affiliate links/ad revenue on the website) i may be able to literally do whatever the hell i want when i retire in about 5-6 years.

1. Saw these on the suede thread first (hit other subs with Alden and AE threads being last viewed). I already had that song in my head when I saw this post.
2. Much jealousy. Many wants. So wow.
