Engine Stand and a Brown Recluse, What Did You Get For Christmas?

[wings&wheels]

Wife gave me an engine stand for this BMW M10 project and Daughter is unpacking the gifts from family in the South, she says 'ugh, spider', splat. I look over and....hmmmmm nice fiddle marking!

I got a nice Kuhl jacket, a battery daddy, and some new cologne.

Low key year - I bought myself a ratcheting wrench set for the kiddos to give to me so I had something to unwrap.

Reading the OP - I'm happy to not have gotten a brown recluse.

Unless you’re making a statement Ugh is actually Ugg. Ugg boots are a fashion must have around here in the winter months, worn next to someone wearing flip flops.

Ugh - Mucks are a real fashion statement

Those can cause major necrosis around the bite. Not something you want to mess with.

I've seen those over the years but never been bit by one. I did get bit by a black widow this summer. It hurt like heck and itched like crazy for several days but nothing worse thankfully.

I got a rock, which is what I wanted since the emergency brake on my old plow truck doesn't work yet.

I stand corrected! My bad. Old lady was a fashion designer in her younger days .... please, feel my pain! She's going slowly with the Ugg items. The boots are really lightweight and comfortable and my style. I work hard at the gym and at 51 I still have broad shoulders and a semblance of a "V." I like my Dior suits, athletic cut and tailored with a vest.

I love shoes and have a lot of the classics, some are $$$$. Overall I prefer middle road cost shoes. Tecovas and Thursday Co. are some of my favorites. I made the mistake of a pair of Taft's (pic below) and she laughed at me...later she admitted they looked good with a suit but asked my why I refused to let her get me a pair of Gucci's. I explained those Euro cuts looks worse than clown shoes in size 13 and they are often way to narrow. My foot is a solid 13 and dead on the line of standard width/wide. SOOOOOOO wide is often too wide and standard is often tight. I'm a mess.

Some pics below! Thanks @AZjeff! I screw up a spelling and now you all get a novel and more info that you likely ever wanted!
