Thanks for the mercy. I am new here and appreciate the break.

I can assure you all that no beer was spilled nor wasted during that episode.

And yes, I was glad a cop didn't pull up behind me.

I was a super happy camper for the last 15 years with NO sunglasses at all. In the summer I would come off the water with a headache, but I thought that was normal. Then my buddy offered to sell me his Maui Jims because he bought a new pair so I bought them for $30. They were great despite a couple of scratches. That is until one day I decided to take a nap on the couch with them in my pocket - not the best idea but hey, I need to catch some zzzzzzzz's. Broke those mofos in half at the nose piece and threw them away (mistake, could have sent them in).

So after that I decided on cheap sunglasses. I was going to get some Bimini Bay's and saw the calcuttas, which I liked pretty good so I got the calcuttas for $23. They were fine for the 1st week and the 2nd week. Then we went kingfishing and on the way back to the hill I got sprayed pretty good in the face the whole way back (should have taken my boat LOL). When we got back I stuck em under some warm water, a drop of dish detergent, and gently used my thumb to clean off the salt. The mirror coating came completely off one lense. So that pair cost me $10 per week I owned them. That is when I decided I need the good shades. And like RKC said, once you wear the good stuff its hard to go back. Plus when you pay big $$ for shades you tend to take better care of them, except on Thanksgiving.

This may require a future NE church meeting to discuss decorum and partake a few beverages just to be sure we're on the same page. Seeing how we have more constituents in the area now. I was starting to feel like the lone torch bearer. **hic* s'cuse me.

Hey Reel if you are worried about losing the expensive shades just do like MJ and buy 2 pairs.

Quite a logistical suggestion...I knew I could count on ya, Dawg!!...


Seein' that expensive pair of shades sink into the cold abyss made goin' from high $$ shades to cheap shades a piece of cake... twernt difficult at all...

...and CB...for that NE church meetin'...assumin' it's professionally iced down by one who's well qualified by decades of experience in such things, what kinda beer you favor?

[macojoe]

Beer?? You mean Steel Reserve!!

[Road King Cole]

Church meeting? Oh sure, I get it; the "new guy" has to buy the beer.

Wait a minute! What about inaforty? He's even newer than me!


Steele Reserve???

I had to google that:

Sounds like a... great stuff...

I must live such a sheltered life. I used to think the 40oz Shafers were the best bargain...

The Steel Reserve High Gravity is a no frills buzz. 8.2 % alc. A couple cans of those after a long night at work and I'm sleeping like a baby. We get it around here for $1.55/22oz can. So for $3.10 it's close to drinking a six pack. Pretty good bang for the buck.
For taste, I like Sam Adams Ocktoberfest. Have to stock up on it because its already disappearing from the shelves until next year.

Busch Lite for me and for $3.10 you can also almost drink a 6 pack. Head for the Rockies.
Reel when I was 18 I bought an expensive pair of Oakleys. I was chillin in the surf about waist deep facing the beach when a rogue wave slammed over my head and knocked em off into the "abyss" as you so eloquently phrased it. Funny thing about it, moments later I shuffled my feet around in desperation trying to find them and actually thought I'd found them...only to reach down betwix my toes to find an old rusty pair of eyeglasses some old coot lost a year or two before. What are the odds on that?? After that I didn't wear sunglasses any more, not even cheap ones.
