a-HA, found 'em .. safety reading glasses
I recently got an eye exam (age 52 and counting) and got glasses. I've been
using an extensive array of lenses of one kind or another in the shop to compensate for my lack of closeup vision. I realized how much better I could see up close once I got my glasses, which made me wonder -- do they make safety reading glasses? Sure do. I just ordered 3 pairs, total of $26.50 -- any of you other "oldsters" who've wondered, now you can stop. They're out there. GWE |

Randy Well not really, Ya gotta read all them safety stickers that are plastered all over the machines that you are attempting to fix. Some times I just read the manual to the machine so that it knows I mean business. What better way to get a machine to step back in line than to read the manual to it and shake your Leatherman at it! lg no neat sig line |
