    Windy out this morning with rain expected. Slept in this morning. Another short week for me as yesterday was a holiday. I like these short weeks. :D

    Well, the washing disassembled itself last night. Sounded like a .50 machine gun in the basement during the spin cycle.

    Yesterday afternoon was rough for me.

    I was at work out picking up a couple of cars and had a tickle around my left eye.
    I wiped it with my left hand and things went all downhill from there.

    Immediately felt like something was in my eye. Eye became very irritated and extremely sensitive to light.
    I had 2 pick ups to do, i just finished the first and ended up turning around and going back to the lot instead of driving
    an hour and a half with 1 eye.

    Told my wife about it ahead of time, i went home and collapsed on the couch, only relief i was able to get was with keeping
    my eyes shut.
    So im blind.... pretty much.

    3 hours into this whole thing we got the boy dressed and put in his car seat.
    We went to an urgent care/ convenient care.
    Nurse rinsed my eye, numbed it, put some dye in it to see if i scratched it.
    Didnt find any debris in it, didnt find any scratches.. we have no idea what happened.

    She prescribed me some drops, half way home the numbing agent wears off.
    Man it was bad.
    Went to walgreens for the prescription eye drops, made it home in a ton of pain and discomfort.
    Immediately went to bed, it was only about 745pm. My eye was swollen enough to where i couldnt open it.
    Layed in bed with a hot wash cloth on my eye, woke up this morning and called into work.

    Its feeling better, still swollen as heck. I can atleast use it now.

    Maybe you should get that checked by an ophthalmologist. Sounds like it’s really painful. Good luck and feel better

    It’s a rental.... for work. And at that, it was a free upgrade from a small box. So I said “Yes!”

    That is awful. I hope you can figure what happened and keep it from happening again. I hope to it gets back to normal fast.

    Took chain saw and did some trimming on an apple tree (to be ready for rifle hunting). Took the wood and gave it to a friend who like it for smoking. Says it's better than cigars.

    It is cold out there even though the temperature is at 30 degrees. My boots have 2000 grams of thinsulate and I was wearing wool socks. My feet about froze. I hate thinsulate as it does not seem to matter how much they put in, it does not work worth a hoot.

    Dennis, try this toe warmers that you peel and stick onto your socks over the toe area. They would help me a lot when sitting in my stand. If you do any still hunting or walking they do make your feet feel hot though.

    Yes, yes you can plow with a new f150, and as brenn points out, there's a plow prep package available. The ford has the strongest frame. The new ram apparently can't plow because the front frame rails are splayed one way for a crumple zone.

    Try this :Be Safe! Know How to Adjust Car Mirrors to Eliminate Blind Spots
    Most cars don't have blind spots. I've yet to be in a vehicle with one.
    I like to really push my side mirrors out.
    Without turning my head I can watch something as small as a motorcycle disappear from my rearview and emearge in the side.

    Tow mirrors "usually"have dual lenses, one for the above and one focused on the trailer sides.

    The plow that fisher reccomends for 2015 on F150 is a piece o crap. I believe it’s called the HT. When the plow is on the truck it’s so small that you cannot even see the lights never mind the blade. And that blade seems to be made of tinfoil.

    I have put a couple on new trucks only to have the buyer scoff at what a piece o junk the plow is.

    Gotcha I would have done the same. I was just curious if brenndatomu has persuaded you to the blue oval side. :D
