I have sneakers that I work in the shop with.They are kind of holy and looks like something someone who would be homeless would own.Comfort zone that is hard to rate.

I was welding together a bench grinder stand.Wide heavy base,heavy wall 2 x 2 square tube,and a smaller thick top.I had it on my welding table so the top and bottom shielded me from slag while I was seated on a stool because I had on my cut-offs.

Now I know,I know,how many more things can I do wrong.Smell something funny.Yepper-a million to one shot,the hole in my left sneaker by my big toe was starting on fire..So now I am doing a dance that hands down would win on the TV show Dancing By the Stars.

Got it out in short order and still felt something warm inside the sneaker.Pulled off the sneaker to find the sock by my big toe had started to turn black,but wasn't on fire.Cool

Why post this whole thing??.Moral of this story is just like in racing,"it is much better to be lucky than good".Also thought I might want to share my silly old self welding with what I was wearing.Yepper kids,don't try this at home.
