I've heard the saying that one can tell the health of the economy by the robuskness of the shoe repair business. PlasticX saved me probably $40 fixing the heals on 2 pairs of my wife's shoes. This is probably the 3rd fix in about 18 months for a total of $120.00

I can hardly believe this story . I have ridden out to the Shoe Tree twice over the past couple of years. It was such a fun and unique site to see. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2420572&id=17809521&l=bb6cce3228 ____________________________ Updated: Jan 05, 2011 12:34 PM MST ...Well known 'shoe tree' destroyed FALLON, NV (CBS) - Authorities are investigating who cut down the historic "shoe tree" in Nevada. The tree is located about 50 miles east of Fallon, NV, and is believed to be decades old. "On New Year's Eve, some patrons came in here and they said, ‘Did you notice the shoe tree got chopped down?' and everybody is in disbelief," said Greg Del Pepozzo, owner of a local store. "We went and looked out the window and it's not there anymore." Churchill County Sheriff Ben Trotter said it did not happen on private property and may not be a crime, but they are looking into whether it was vandalism. The Nevada Tourism Commission said the tree got its name after an argument between newlyweds, during which one tossed the others shoes in the tree. When they reconciled, the other reciprocated, and people have thrown shoes into the tree ever since. A memorial where the tree was located is planned for 2:30 p.m. Feb. 13.

My wife asked me to take her shoes for new heals. The Shoe shop wanted $20. to put on new heals about 1 inch square and about 1/8 inch thick. After recently fixed some plastic tabs on my 89 VR, I thought hmmm. I wonder if PlasticX could fix her shoes. So I washed the heal and used masking tape around the heal making about 1/8 in high fence. Then pressed firmly on the tape where it stucked to the shoe so powder and chemical would not leak through and then pored the powder level to the top of the tape then started to add the droplets. Then I stired it to make sure that all the powder got disolved then did some minor adjustments as needed then propped the shoe level and let dry. The next day I filed the high spots and bingo, new heals. Time will tell how long it will last. The origional heal lasted 2 months.

Being basically a motorcycle forum, I bet you thought Orange County Chopper by the OCC in the thread title. That's not really the case. I did manage to land a temporary gig for a few weeks during the Christmas season for a program called OCC. I am not however, working for the dastardly Paul Tuetal Sr. infamous abuser (of Paulie Jr. and Mickey) on the Orange County Chopper motorcycle build reality show. Instead, the OCC I'm talking about is a program called Operation Christmas Child. This OCC is part of the Billy and Franklin Graham outreach ministry Samaritan's Purse. This OCC is about collecting shoe boxes of toys (this year 8 million plus) to send to impoverished children in India, Pakistan and the Ukraine along with a message about " The Greatest Gift of all JESUS." I do have to admit that in the past few years, for various reasons, I have been more of a Christmas Grinch or Scrooge :Im not listening tothan a Santa or merry Christmas Elf. Partly because of the fact that my birthday is at Christmas and each Christmas season is a reminder of my rapidly aging condition and impending mortality. :backinmyday:And partly because my children are now grown and the magic of Christmas in my children's eyes has been replaced with the realistic distant stare of fear:scared: of having to worry about the cost and hectic pace of providing Christmas. Truth be told, not that I'm proud of it, Christmas, (for me in recent years) has been more of a bothersome burden than a seasonal blessing. My small role in this program consist of organizing teams of volunteers into a assembly line processing machine where these shoe boxes are received, sifted, inspected, sealed, sorted, packaged, packed, loaded and shipped out heading for their final destination to a distant country into the arms of a child. My initial assessment of the process seemed more like an exercise in organizing Chaos. But, to my surprise, as the assignment has been developing what I am seeing is an accumulation of small miracles happening on a shoe box to box basis. Miracles that are humbling and reminding me how small I am in the scheme of things and how great God's love is to make all of the necessary things, people and energy come together to make all of this possible. During the hectic pace of this assignment I have been uncharacteristically catching myself singing Christmas carols. I have the day off tomorrow, I might even put up a few strings of Christmas lights and decorations up around the place.
