As far as footwear goes, I've got dress shoes (funerals and job interviews), sneakers, and hiking-type boots. Nothing at all Western. My hikers will have to suffice. I have a baseball cap I can wear.<br><br>I know all about sciatica. <br><br>OUCH! <br><br>My entire right leg was numb all the way down to my toes one afternoon. I thought I was having a stroke. Took me awhile to figure out it was sciatica and what I did that caused it. Bloody thing comes back every now and then. That frigging HURTS.<br><br>By the way, I carry my wallets (one for ID and one for money) in my front pockets. My rear pockets contain my SwissTech MicroPlus and my Fisher Chrome Bullet Space Pen. I'll probably slip my Spyderco Dragonfly or Cricket in as well for this outing.<br><br>I always carry a whistle, flashlight, folding knife, and a lighter on my person anyway, as well as a quantity of paracord. I'm a paranoid geek, what can I say? Grin. As for the canteen, a bottle of Evian will have to suffice.<br><br>I intend to have lots of fun. Job-hunting tends to drive one mad. And I get to spend some time with my sister.<br><br>When I called my wife at work to let her know I'd be going horseback riding with my sister, she began giggling and couldn't stop. Tells you something, does it not? <br><br>As a matter of fact, my sister was so tickled she said she'd bring along a camera for the occassion. I think she just wants to get a shot of supergeek on a horse.<br><br>I'll let you know how I make out.<br><br>Craig<br><br>
