    Right where I want to be.
    I usually end up bending the nose piece all to heck when swatting at bugs.
    No leaf raking this year, although I may soon.
    HDR, I've wondered about this for quite a while......don't the leaves just blow back in a good wind?:headbang:

    On the east side, where I blow most of them to, not a chance , on the west side, I blow em past some of the under brush and saplings and they stay there real good , I still have to rake and pick up some

    Glad you found them HD!

    Every once and a while we still chuckle WITH my mom. One day, a long, long time ago, she looked and looked for her glasses. She asked all of us. We couldn't find them. Then, finally, someone realized and said, "Do you mean the ones on top of your head?" :rofl: :lol:

    Chop those suckers up with the mower! It's good for your lawn, and way less work!

    I read that and thought you meant chop the glasses up....that's probably what I would have done after about 15 minutes.

    Don't feel bad. I am walking around like I have a fish bowl on my head. Had the eye surgery on the left eye and the vision is back to about 98% normal. Waiting for the right eye to be done, hence this BIG difference which, at times, is totally weird. Was supposed to be done a week ago but cancelled by the surgeon due to a death in his family. Now sitting waiting for a rescheduled date.
