Awesome progress.
Regarding the battle scars, I was catching up on car shows and saw one
of the presenters caught a wire from a wire wheel in his eye (!). He
was wearing eye protection but the wire came up between the goggles
and his face. Took 2 hours in the emergency room with devices (no one
wants used on their eye) to get it out, but he still has sight.
I have a full face shield... makes me think I should wear it any time
I'm using power tools...
