I know what you mean about just quitting doing things. I helped cook lunch for a charity event yesterday and managed to slice open the pad of the end on my left index finger. I'm supposed to play the ukulele with a band this coming Saturday at our tractor show, and I tried to practice last night and that finger ached so bad I couldn't play.
As for the eyeglasses, I happened on to a deal years ago. The local university has an optometry school and eye clinic and dispensary. I still go there for my eye test and glasses even though it's over an hour away. They discount their frames quite a lot. 20 years ago, I bought some unbreakable high-end titanium frames from them, about 120 bucks--- after breaking three pairs in one year. They were cheaper than 3 of the cheaper frames I'd broken. I got them and really liked them and had them switch lenses over 12 years when I needed them--- still using the same frame. These things took getting knocked off my head and landing underneath a running bushhog. Anyway, I finally decided I'd like a pair of sunglasses with those same frames. I was in a mall and walked past one of those 3-hour eyeglass places which had huge signs saying all frames were 50% off that day. Lady behind the counter told me yes, she had those frames on hand but that they were very expensive. I asked how much and she said the frames were 700 bucks by themselves (that was half-price), and that with bifocal lenses they'd be over 1200. I went to the optometry clinic and got everything for $225. Same frame. One other thing--- I now buy a spare el-cheapo pair when I get new ones--- they have a selection of frames for 25 bucks that is pretty good--- I get metal frames with the springs in the hinges which need less adjusting over time. Also, this clinic collects eyeglasses from various organizations and provides free used frames to low-income folks. I've seen them actually fitting the free frames to folks in there.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
