That's pretty damn funny.

Dry spell is over! Back to regularly scheduled programming.

I do this in reverse more often than I'd like to admit. Creature of habit. It just seems so fluid to grab my card and slide it. It's when I get my receipt that I instantly have to return whatever I just paid for and then break out the company card. It's usually at Lowe's.

I'm of the same mindset. I don't currently own any Maui Jim's (more so because the one style I like of theirs is only in brown lenses) but my Oakley's only get worn for yard work, hiking, or just outdoor work in general. (I don't suppose this is a problem, but definitely "First World" as I wear Oakleys for dirty work.) My Persol's are my go to. Quality of Persol is top notch.

What Oakley's are you rocking? I've got a pair of Gas Can's, 5 Squared, Square Wires and an old school pair of Scalpels that I like, but look like I'm either a cop or a professional volley ball player in them. Also have one remaining pair of Ray-Ban Predator 1's that are so dated, but are the most comfortable glasses I own; I just refuse to get rid of them. I've re-lensed the Predator's twice now. The Persol's though.....

There is just something about green tinted, crystal, polarized lenses, in Italian, handcrafted frames that is just timeless.

Fedex is quickly becoming my First World Problem.

It was my Flak that I broke ( snapped one arm clean off

). I also have an ancient pair of Bottlecap that I just can't seem to bring myself to get rid of. They are my yard work/ utility glasses. One plus of breaking the Flaks is that it makes it much easier to justify buying some new glasses.

I leaned over a chair and snapped my Gas Cans right in the middle. Not sure the electrical tape would have worked, so I popped out the lens and bought a new pair in grey. At eh store they said Oakley would try to repair and donate. Luckily I had sent my really old pair of something I can't identify to the lens place and they had filled them for me a while back.

Fuse lens, Rudi you told me about them

I think being ambidextrous is the key in this situation.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

I'm ambidextrous; I can't write with either hand!

The new whisky I want is not available yet...wtf?

Tambohamilton · 03-31-2021, 06:25 AM

Why would you want new whisky? Older the better!

Fuse lens, Rudi you told me about them

I forgot I had turned you on to Fuse. They are awesome!

I forgot that the lenses I look through all day are Oakley Airdrops. Thinking that when I go to the optometrist next month, I'm going to see about contacts and a new pair of frames. Then re-lens the Airdrops into sunglasses.

It took three days for my shipment of bottled Iceland glacier water to arrive, due to some pesky volcano erupting.....

Why didn't you just call the manager and have them turn the volcano off for a couple of days, Karen?

Tambohamilton · 03-31-2021, 10:16 AM

They had to melt the glacier somehow...

Almost $500 spent on Deftones tickets for September 3rd. Labor day weekend. Took Friday off to have a 4 day weekend that was going to kick off with a Deftones show. Fast forward 5 months. The Bonaroo line up is announced. The ONLY band worth a damn to see on their entire lineup is....The Deftones. So glad I bought tickets so I could see them live and not have to deal with a festival, especially Bonaroo.

Wait....when did Bonaroo decide to have their festival this year? They just decided to change it up, and rather than have it in the spring, they chose September.....September 3rd! The same date as the show that I bought tickets for. End result, Deftones cancels their show to play at Bonaroo. Beyond pissed off!
