Man, it looks like it fell out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down............ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Thanks, guys!  I figured someone would know.  Yep, it's ugly, but it was dirt cheap and looks pretty good on an office shelf with other random parts.

You can buy 'em at the hardware store Eric, very handy when you're doing your gardening.......... ;D
