You had me right up until those flip flops!
lol
Years ago I ordered 3 fiberglass handled spade shovels because Lord knows the local hardware store doesn't sell them...
Anyway we were getting fuel at the Cenex when a UPS truck pulls up and out jumps my old high school buddy and he says I got something for you fuucker! Tosses the shrink wrapped shovel threesome in the back of my pickup and hollers, get to work Samboy!
Good stuff!
My feet took a beating back in 2003/Iraq. Weeks/months with boots on, only loosening the laces a bit to sleep. Now I let the dogs breathe as much as possible.
