So today the gentleman that stepped into my life has a spiritual father figure gifted me a barely used pair of red wing chukka boots. Now as you know I have a side gig of cleaning/waxing and polishing boots But he told me red wing guys have some kind of strict routine they use on their boots so please educate me on what’s needed to take care of red wing boots P.s. yes this is my first pair of redwing boots

I just wanted to post to say that I received an email yesterday informing that I have passed my Masters Degree in Forensic photography. This has been a very difficult two years while working full time. All at the age of 53. Now on to writing a book!

Between November 2024 and Aug 16, 2025 I lost 35 pounds and I finally conquered the flab that had been plaguing me since my last BIG drop in 2,000 (when I had turned 40 and that was only 14 lbs). After moving from Richmond, VA to Claremore, OK-The intensely stressful success at building a wealth management department and conceiving and building a trust division (2,002-2012) coupled with the natural slowing of my metabolism at my age helped contribute to a 40 pound gain in weight by 2014 (205lb😳 at 67.75” tall). Martial arts, fly fishing, and singing in a kilt didn’t protect me from the stress induced binge eating I did here in Oklahoma where the state bird is the chicken fried steak and holy communion is briskets and gravy. After a heart attack in 2017, between 17 straight years of failing to re-attain my year 2,000 - 40 year old weight- I went drastic last year and beat my 40 year old weight (166) by my 65th birthday (160.5 by 8/16/25). I saw this gag gift, the hillbilly diet pill, but essentially it works. Rather, I did some pretty well thought out extended fasts (100 hours built up to over 4 months or 1 per month: 36hr, 72 hr, 90hr, 100hrs) In 2026 my goals are to do some body sculpting: gain muscle of an inch or two in my shoulders, one inch in my chest, (all to save $ on clothes) and lower my body fat percentage from 21.5 % to 13-16%. The plan is to be there by August and the method is to intensify my lifting, swimming and martial arts. Wish me luck. - the things I learned last year are: • Be realistic about your time horizon (sustaining 1lb a week is hard as hell) • sleep and staying out of the kitchen is 90% of it • have accountability partner(s). Not counting my wife I have an 81 year old personal trainer and a 67 year old 7th degree blackbelt I meet with multiple times per week. Have a blessed 2026 - Whatever your goals are fellas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8NRtHJqwuGA
