Rear Entry Ski Boots!!!

Couple of things here:
1. Cold boots, tut tut. Massive problem the next morning.
2. It is possible that the person who fitted/sold these boots may not have given the right advice and the boots dont fit so well after all.
3. Congratulations to Dave Mac who recalled a story without referring to Niederau.
4. Rear entry is for people doing it the wrong way :shock:

KEEP YOUR BOOTS WARM OVERNIGHT PEOPLE!

1. Well done to TonyH for managing to address a story about Boots, and still managing to squeeze in a reference to Niederau.
2.Rear entry boots are for peope doing it the right way! -)

It does, Tony, only 5 sleeps, then heaps of sleeps in N. Which will be good, if my knee recovers from Cairngorm.

Buy shares in Ibruprofen, now.

So, I went into the hardware store in town today, looking for some gaffer tape to effect a repair to the aforesaid rear entry boots. I was accompanied by the guide dog, looking very smart, in the blue coat.

A blonde lady walks across, and asks if she can help. I told her I was looking for Duct tape. She takes me by the arm, and starts to lead me through the aisles. I was thinking, "Aye, Davie Mac, you never lose it". Blonde lady stops beside some shelving, takes my hand, and puts a roll of tape into it. "Great stuff, lass, but wrong colour"

She looked dumbstruck, "Oh, you're not blind then?" -)

That's funny Dave. Kind of interesting though, as I don't think it would happen in many parts of the US. People here look each other intently in the eye when talking. As a Brit, it's sometimes disconcerting to be stared at by someone so close by.

Trencher

When I did my OU degree, Trencher, I spent a lot of time in Physcology lectures. (I was meant to be in the electronics lecture, but the Physcos had a lot of women!)

I took away from that a learning of body language, and of maintaining eye contact. These two things enabled me to move forwards workwise, far more quicker than any of the electronics stuff.

Evidently I did not make eye contact today!

Oh, and the funny thing was, I did get the right tape, and carried out a good repair to the upper rear of the boot liner. The foam inner had split.

And the tape? Was carpet tape. You remember the carpet story, Trencher? -)
