Enjoying My Skechers

Just wondering how many of you guys are concerned about good footwear. When I was young wearing comfortable shoes or tennis shoes wasn’t that important to me. I was only concerned about the style then, but now I am looking for comfort as well as style. Anyone who is into hiking, hunting, running, walking or fishing; I assume would want a pair of shoes that will not cause leg and foot discomfort during the day. I like athletic shoes that will absorb the pounding your feet and legs take during a day’s activity.
 
Cathey and I recently spent a day at Epcot from 9 AM to 9PM walking or standing most of the day. The memory foam shoe by Skechers helps make that day much more enjoyable, simply because of the cushion foam that helps eliminate leg and foot cramps during the day.
 
This post probably sounds like an advertisement, if it does so be it, but this shoe is the real deal. For you Geezers and the rest of you guys this might be a shoe you need to try on. We purchased our Skechers at Academy Sports or you can go online and purchase with free shipping.
I liked my Skechers so well that I went back to Academy and bought another pair for 30.00 bucks quite a bargain. You even get two colors of shoestrings, I stayed with the grey color.

A Little Exploring

Cathey and I decided to take a little trip last week looking for warmer weather in Florida. We made numerous stops along the way at antique shops, flea markets, and a fishing-knife museum on our way to Epcot at Disney World. The fishing-knife museum was a hidden gem off interstate 10 near Tallahassee. This place had the largest selection of Case knives in the U.S.

This was our second trip to Disney World our first was visiting Magic Kingdom when our children were young; that visit 30 years ago was for the children, this trip this past week was for Mom and Dad.
What can I say about Epcot, which is a museum within itself; the LandPavilion for us was the most interesting, the food production research being conducted in this Pavilion was amazing. We spent hours in this one place. I’m sure some of you have made a visit to the Land Pavilion, but for those who have not it is worth the trip to tour the facilities and the rest of Epcot Park.
Most all these lures were wooden
Huge collection of vintage outboard motors
My grandson would have loved this collection
Old cypress canoe, excellent condition
Vintage Fly Reels

Just a small part of the case collection--leather handle and bone handle case knives
