    They would only give me one boot! Turned out the other had a slight nick out of it also which I hadn't seen initially, but AMI weren't keen to part with the other new one until they were told there could be a warranty issue for a mismatched pair. They had no answer for that and boots were exchanged.
    Things got even sillier with the jacket, but that another story!

    Arrived home on Wednesday to a big tree across the driveway-had to get out the chainsaw and have a clear up before I could even get home!! Lost about 3 all up. Aokautere school was closed-very exciting for the little ones.

    good to hear....i couldnt believe that when you told me

    speaking of happy boots, i discovered my right boot was leaking on the cheesecutter ride anxd upon inspection discovered that during the infamous bin, i've obviously dragged the toe which had pulled the sole off the boot for about a 4-5 inch section

    took it to the shoe dude on main st

    $12.50 later its better than new

    Your in-laws trees are the ones in my mates back yard She was wondering if you were going to front up I said I will bring my chainsaw over if she needs a hand-I also have some battens and wire strainers in the shed if you need a hand. Jace and I had a merry evening in the cold on Wednesday getting `fire wood'-he had two over his driveway.

    Oh dear, another sad little post from the man who thinks sarcasm is wit.

    The trees missed my fences so Baa's and mooie's all safe...so far. It is soooo wet that it won't take much to drop some more though
