Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:36:21 +0000 http://www.meetzorp.com/?p=2754#comment-31531 I know, late to the party again! But here are some questions/observations/etc. 1) Yes, those boots are pretty bad-assed. 2) Is it possible to get them resoled? Figure if you love 'em so much, it might be worth it to keep 'em going. 3) I loved Docs as well, but I don't think I'll ever buy another pair. I got a bad-assed set in '99 and by '03 they wore out. And they are a pain to resole. I bought a pair of Red Wings a few years back, which are not only made in the US (well, the better ones are), but can be resoled. 4) And for awesome linesman styled boots still made domestically check out http://www.westcoastshoe.com/wesco/home.asp (Not cheap, of course.)

I'm all about sparkles, full stop. I'm kind of obsessed with copper metallic these days, myself. Navy blue with sparkles sounds pretty.

]]> Comment on Magic Chef is Magical (also chrome-ical and Bakelite-ical) by Meetzorp http://www.meetzorp.com/2012/01/magic-chef-is-magical-also-chrome-ical-and-bakelite-ical/comment-page-1/#comment-31089 Meetzorp Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:36:38 +0000 http://www.meetzorp.com/?p=2926#comment-31089 How I came into the possession of this nutty old stove is a bit of a house-that-Jack-built chain of events. A friend of mine had a big-ass 6-burner restaurant stove (with a non-op oven) that took up WAY too much room in her kitchen, plus a range without an oven didn't suit her purposes well. Her brother-in-law just bought a house on our block, and was interested in her 6-burner range. She did some swap and trade with another friend for a more conventional 4-burner range, with a working oven. In order to install his "new" 6-burner range, Jack had to get rid of the stove you see above. I voiced an interest in it, whereupon he rounded up his brother-in-law and another buddy, and they just walked it down the alley and up on to my back porch! It was truly a matter of right-place-right time. So, now we need to get the Magic Chef tested for safety and functionality (last anyone knew, it worked just fine, about a year ago) and get it installed. Then, I guess I'll need to find someone who wants to take our old, but-not-as-old Kenmore range.
