What made you feel good today?

[DFB FGXR6]

I helped my neighbor change a flat tyre this afternoon. Once upon a time I would have second guessed myself but I just leapt to it with confidence today.

Maybe the confidence came from my new red shoes!



Not only are they red, those shoes are called the Adidas Run Falcon.

You really are a Ford tragic, DFB.

Are the shoes exactly the same shade as the 'Stang? If not, I'm disappointed.

Oh, and when can we expect to see a thread on how to detail your shoes to keep them looking their very best?

[.:4:.]

I have a pair of shoes where the soles are made by Michelin. Theyre badged on the bottom and the back of the soles. Cannot tell if they aid traction compared to my other shoes. I didnt buy them for the Michelin thing, due to no shops being open i ordered them off the interwebs and that was just an odd thing to find out upon lacing them up.

Yep, been that way for a while. I think most majors would, wouldn't they?

Probably, they are an american brand of shoes, i orded them from an australian shop, they were shipped from a warehouse in queensland, so yeah, probably made in china like seemingly 97% of anything disposable these days.

Regional NSW giving up its Pfizer jabs for the locked-down Sydney LGA HSC students.

Sydney Year 12 students to get Pfizer vaccine ‘within weeks’ as they return to classrooms amid lockdown extension

NSW has announced a major change to its vaccine rollout, moving Pfizer doses from one area into Sydney so a new group can be immunised.

Some Sydney students in their last year of high school will be given priority for the Pfizer vaccine, after the government revealed doses would be directed from other parts of the state to allow a return to face-to-face learning.

Everything is made in China!.....
9 years ago I ordered a very expensive pair of special hiking boots from Propet USA, they manufactur special orthopaedic shoes, boots etc.
Sent a copy of both feet on A4 paper, pencil around foot, wrote measurements in imperial, according to them I had a wide foot etc, etc.

Supposed to be waterproof up to the top lace hole, asked for plastic eyelets specifically for gold prospecting, swinging detector set off by brass eyelets, paid them $330.00 US dollars and $45.00 US dollars postage!
Very expensive but apparently the best

4 months later I get a package, covered in Chinese stamps from customs and such, they looked great, but I thought for the cost I was supporting an American worker in an American workshop?
They were not wide enough, had brass eyelets and there was no insole?
I wore them at home for a day, when I took em off I had the pattern of a milk crate in both heels, they forgot the insole.

Emailed maker and went off my nut, they said "that's what you ordered" geez I had the ****s, but either send back to USA, not China or put it down to bad experience, I bought Scholl insoles but that made em too tight, and every time I swung my metal detector it went off

What a scam, made in China, posted from China and paid for in US dollars

Disappointingly, they don't match the Stang. The colour is Solar Red, they are more fluro orange than red, although they look red on their website.

And yes, I am tragic.

Now, if I were to detail them, I'm thinking Koch Chemie Pol Star would be the product of choice.........

Dropping the Mrs at the airport, 6 days home alone, just me and the dog, getting stuck into the port as I type this.

Choosing to eat healthy (whatever works for you) is great, but genetics can still trip up the "healthiest" diet.

And I feel good today because I work outside, it's cold and the soil is damp, but I see signs of Spring just around the corner everywhere!

I don't lighten up. My advice will make you live longer and pain free. You will spend more time and comfort time with you grandkids.

Cheers Big Ears

[Citroënbender]

That’s a funny coincidence, old snottychops here is purring loudly and trying to rub his face all over mine as I sit at the bench.

[Tonz]

my wife's thought it would be nice to warm his butt on my face....did it once and once only.

[FTE217]

another fine winters day during lockdown and away from the Mrs's last day of the week

You guys with the nice furry friends, we also have a rippa young large cat all white called Lucky.
He's our youngest after the 3kids, what pleasure they bring.
Bugga every morn hears my alarm knowing Dad is up replemish my pellets waiting at my door.
What a treasure, best kid I've had, can't use a mobile, no SM, cleans and entertains himself lol......

[slowsnake]

Worst part is after the nose rubbing and slobbering and the rest, you go outside and find the back half of a still warm river rat!...lol.

Out to the pub for dinner tonight, which s the first time in a couple of weeks due to the lockdown. Was nice being able to share a meal with my mum, daughter, her boyfriend and a family friend.
