I have 2 new pair of boots I need to break in. I will be using these boots in July for 2 weeks of field training in sunny Camp Roberts, CA. I have never worn fatgiues, and my old pair of deck boots is in no condition, especially since it it a pair of working boots that has been worn through from years of work onboard and at home. Those boots lasted a long long time.

Off to the Navy Exchange, ordered 2 pairs size 12 steel toed jump boots. They are great, fit perfect, lace up snug and high with a huge length of extra laces to wrap around the calf top.

And where do we go? Off to Cooper River for 3 miles. And this morning is a walk athon. On the other end of the river, the local Ham Radio Rag Chew club is working the event. I figure morning with Brighid on the big river, home to switch out Brighid for Anna then go to the other river and see the ham club. There is an ASPCA event. Sweet, we sign up, pay our $25.00 donation, each get our numbers and a free t-shirt. And we are off. Suprisingly there are less animals then I expected.

It was a great time, glad our walk got to also go to a worthy charity. Now lets hope they don’t use that money to send me junk mail to get more money. That would piss me off. Charities should use the money 95% for the cause, not 95% to raise more money for the cause.

Anna has pictures of us with our number tags, as soon as I get one I will link to it here.
