speaking of which.. my nylon MEC ones have started to leak on one foot. I'm going to see if they'll give me new ones. It looks like it's leaking along the seam. I'm not sure why they would put a seam right down the front anyway, doesn't seem like very smart design. Common sense, people!

ps. a friend's latest "Monkey Mondays" posting is topic-appropriate: http://www.monkeymondays.com/
pps. Cavernmech: I met a guy named Todd last night.. he was in the group I went to Maiden with (friend of a friend). He lives in Calgary now but used to live here around 6 years ago and was messing then. Your name/shop came up somehow and we realized we both know you. No idea what his last name is.
