Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I went back to the vision center at Wal-Mart Friday cause my new bifocals hurt my right eye, he rechecked my pupil center distance and it was good.

I laid my glasses on the fender of my tractor 6 days after I got them, when I cranked the tractor they fell off into the gravel and put 3 noticeable pits in them, right in the center

Friday, he bent my frames to get them straight on my face and told me if that helps and I paid the $20 for the protection plan he'd get the lens remade at no cost to me, I whipped out $20

I wore them all weekend and just by him getting the straight helped out a lot. Just called him, he's getting the right lens remade.

 

U have a time with ur glasses.

 

It seems everyone i Know Has stories about Walmart`s Eye care never being correct the first time.

It seems they are great getting things fixed though.

Just plain Poor quality or anything to get you back in the store who knows what you will pick up you don` t really need.

 

Finally ready to take the four wheeler home. Needed to make and weld the mounting brackets for the basket rack. I can finish it anytime now.

 

Why are you so quiet tiny end mill, oh you took some time off

 

Afternoon Shane. I have done a lot of fabrication in my career. I really enjoy your pictures

 

Thank you sir, I enjoy what I do and I'm blessed to be able to do it

 

I know the feeling. It’s nice to get paid to do something you enjoy.
Keep posting pictures

 

Some people never understand that and go to a job every day they really don`t enjoy.

 

Exactly now that I am retired all my fab work is for me. As soon as I move in our new house and get unpacked I will get started again.

 

Closer.

 

We’ve had some good times but it’s time to say goodbye. Why you fail me chapstick?

 

Finally brought our 1960's south bend into the modern era with a DRO setup!

 

Suspenders? That guys gotta be over 50

Also we have the same Carhartt work pants at work, I hate them. Doesn't help that I swear Cintas starches them...

 

Yeah that's our uniform company. I said F 12 bucks a week and just bought my own heavier duty work clothes. He's 62 and pretty much riding easy street to retirement.

 

I have the same pair and have had them for about 4 months so far. I really like them, however I do have one gripe. Whenever I'm wearing them for extended time periods (3+ hours), the back of my neck where the skull meets the neck starts to get tension on it. I think it has something to do with how it compresses around the base of my ears. I have to take it off for about 20 min or so and stretch my neck to relieve tension. To make this point valid, I have to wear ear defenders for my job and my normal pair is the typical David Clarks you see air crew and ground crew wearing. Like I said, that's my only gripe with that product. Battery life is good, I get a bit more than 7 hours on a full charge.

Reminds me of an episode of the 3 stooges where curly eats the lip stick ​
