OK.....FWIW.....you can buy those welding lenses at most hardware stores for a couple bux. The local news yesterday morning said that local welding supply places couldn't keep lenses in stock for the last few weeks. What used to cost $20 now cost $200. Wow. Didn't know that. I broke the lens in my welding helmet a couple of weeks ago. Made a trip to Pine River Ace Hardware.....and they had a number of lenses on the shelf that looked like they had been there since before WWII. various shades. I paid $1.95 for a lens. FORE!

I am working mandatory OT on the ambulance... I'm sure it will be interesting.. our county is estimated to have over 600k people here at one time.. that should mean at least double call volume. We are putting on 4 extra rigs On another note I have a hard time trusting these $2 sunglasses around here to look at the sun! F that Where are you located ?

I think I will be tee-ing up a golf ball just about the time the solar eclipse is peaking. May have to wear my welding helmet to hit the ball. FORE!
