That new boot smell...

Not as wonderful as new car smell, but Mmmmmm.....

You might remember that a short time ago an article that I wrote was chosen as a finalist for a contest that 5.11 Tactical was holding. I did not win the grand prize, but I did walk away with a pair of these...

Thanks to everyone who voted for me, and thanks to 5.11 Tactical for the opportunity and the wonderful prize.
