    I just checked out your web site Oneeye. Made me all excited for gopher hunting up here in Alberta, the season is just starting and I have yet to get the good old .22 out. Your site makes me want to put together a sweet .223 and then takes some time to learn to reach out and touch those things, long range style. Everything I have read on that surgeon equipment makes me drool.
    Equipment Used:
    - Miller Maxstar 200 Stick Machine
    - Hobart Stellar CC/CV
    - Victor O/A

    OK SCIF... want me to say You Win ?
    Go ahead, you be the winner! LoL

    I'm not near the welder most of you are, and may never get to the capability of many of you.
    But I've spent many years around the sparks, off and on...

    I've tried to teach myself a habit of, whenever a welder is working near me, I get closer to him, and turn my back to him. That way I'm NOT tempted to LOOK !
    We're ALL tempted to look at something arky and sparky !
    So I do my best to keep turned the opposite way.

    and yah... I can't hardly see squat anymore, especially w/o my spectacles.

    Best

    Mom told me if I flashed myself too much I would go blind. I just did it until I lost one eye though.

    Thanks for the kind commetns Dave. I have a good friend in Fort Mac in Alberta and I'm going to try to get up for deer this fall. Money is tight though.
