Greetings Shop Dawg viewers! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and had a good 4th as well. I know I did.

So today when I walked into work the first thing that caught my eye was one of the oddest pair of shoes I had ever seen. And by odd I mean ugly. Sure enough they belonged to old BJ. He rambled on about how everyone needs a pair of ugly shoes. I for one don’t see the point. But I’ll let you decide.

Note the different color laces

This picture reminded me of the Wizard of Oz when the house landed on the witch. The only reason I didn’t kick the jack stand out from under the car is because I wouldn’t wear those shoes even if they had magical powers.

So what kind of shoes do I like? I’ve never been a shoe guy, I always have one pair of shoes at a time. And I wear them whether I’m running, working, doing yard work, or riding my street bike. It just makes sense to me.

So then I thought, well people always compare tires to shoes and then it hit me. I should have different shoes for different jobs just like rain tires for rain, slicks for racing, and ect. But I am on a tight budget so the all seasons will have to do for now. But I still never heard of an ugly tire. I even did a Google search for some. So it seems that this will not be the last I see of these shoes unless I manage to accidentally catch them on fire later today when I go to test our new welder.
