The addiction 2 walkers. I had to have an all leather shoe being around welding.
They get decent reviews on RunRepeat.com, which is my go-to site for shoe info. If they don't end up working for you, maybe look into some Sketchers? I have a buddy who is on his feet all day for his job, and he swears by their shoes.

Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?
Morning Fran. Just some work stuff. I have a couple of Zoom meetings today, crossing my fingers that they won't last too long. Other than that, nothing exciting.

How bout you?

    Morning Mixers,

    Have to get the dreaded smog check done on my truck today, am I'm sure the wife will think of some other things I should do but I'll probably just do the truck and play Xbox lol. Gotta call the knee surgeon and see if he got the clearance from my doctor yet.

    Forgive my ignorance about cars, but what in the heck is a smog check?

    They hook up an electronic device to the truck with it running, wait about 30 seconds and charge you $30. Then they send the info to the DMV so you can register your vehicle. If your check engine light comes on it's a instant failure.

    We have something similar here.

    So is this smog check something that basically determines if your car is environmentally compliant?

    Yes, not a "serial polluter" or whatever they call it. You can't register your vehicle without it in Vegas. When we lived in Pahrump, which is an hour away, they didn't require them. But Pahrump is 35k people and Vegas is huge.

    Perique is my favorite.

    Bummer on your package. I hope you get it today.
    The package has not moved today either, they have probably placed it in Covid'19 quarantine.

    Perique is mixed, 9%.
    I have good mix notes, but had bad atty notes, lately I have made a system for the atty as well.

    If I ever had to live in Nevada, I would live in Pahrump. I just love the town name. It a funny sounding word.

    I'm going to give them a fair shot before sending them back. Like I mentioned, I have a horrible time breaking in shoes and think that perhaps I was expecting a miracle with these new ones. I have to go on a service call this morning to do some calibrations so that will be a good test for them. Lots of kneeling and crouching. I think they feel a little better today already after putting the conditioner on them and re-lacing them last night. I didn't realize at first that there was a small loop on the tongue that the shoe string goes through to keep the tongue in place. I got used to the running shoes that have the band on either side that hold the tongue in place.

    I have a hearing appointment shortly and after that will be the dreaded grocery shopping. After that is vape time til I have to rewick.

    Good luck at your appointment. I hope it goes well. Oh, and don't get in a fight at the grocery store.:D

    Happy Friday, folks.

    Still no rain, although they're actually hinting at more than dew over the weekend. We'll see. And, one 'cast showed nothing even in the 80s for the next week. Then again, a different one had us mid 80s through that time. We're hoping the lower one is right. :blink:

    If I ever had to live in Nevada, I would live in Pahrump. I just love the town name. It a funny sounding word.

    Well, then, if you ever live in WA, there's a town called Humptulips. :)
