Tractor life is measured in hours, not miles. But with days like today, I often wonder how many actual miles I traveled. With the summer drought in full swing, we have access to the entire property and all of my log piles. It makes sense to consolidate the piles into a log yard where they can be easily picked when the rainy season returns. Freeing up the tree line near the shooting range also provides a convenient location to start a bulk composting station.

JK Boots:
Hands down, without question, the best outdoor working boot that I have ever tried. They aren't cheap and they aren't inexpensive. The break-in period was brutal for me. But after some boot oil and a few working days for them to conform to my feet, I've never worked in anything as form fitting and comfortable.

My Lineup:
- O.T. Bison Canyon for everyday work
- Superduty Bison Shadow Roughout Smooth for earth work days
- The Buck Indigo Chocolate square toe western for days where quick on and off are valued
