Cobey best wishes to you. Let us know when you find out.

Looks like a few of us getting some rain.

Hope the eye gets well quick, Cobey! I ran a stick into my eye last year while on a tractor, painful and bloody, but no permanent damage.

Good rains here!

Cobey's new cutting attire...
Mandatory equipment...

I need a half-dozen pair of those. I was splitting and stacking Saturday with my boys. Sam had a friend (Maverick) meet us at our wood lot to spend the night. The boys were stacking and Maverick got a piece of wood chip/dust in his eye. You know how irritating that can be and you rub and rub your eye, which only makes it worse, but how do you not rub it. He ended up having to go to the ER later that night and didn't spend the night. I felt bad about it. However, all was well and he came back over the next day and spent the night on Sunday. I stacked wood by myself on Monday.

Got to hate it when a kid gets something in their eye, glad he was ok :)
 
Glad to hear you are going to make a full recovery. I am very familiar with saw chips in the eyes happens to me about every other day! No matter how good of goggles/ safety glasses it will still happen. We make a lot more dust than chips when carving and it is a little more of a pain to get out. Its more like sandpaper to the eye. I have been to the eye doctor about 3 or 4 times in the past couple of years of carving. It almost always happens when you are trying to clean yourself off and take the glasses off. The wind blows and there it is! Once I had a piece of .090 trimmer line fly up under my glasses, I was able to get my lid closed before it hit. Problem was it just went right through. It just stuck in there and I had to grab it and pull it out. Now that was a nasty feeling. Healed up with no problem though.

I worked as a welder for 40 some years.Lots of stuff in my eyes and other people to. This guy was wire brushing channel for me with a 4 inch cup brush.I said here are some goggles , he said I don't need them I will make the rust go away fro me.I said ok up to you. A few minutes later he came over to me said ,would you pull that wire out.Less than an inch from his eye.I pulled it out, he said can I use your goggles,I said you don't need goggles ,just blow the rust away from you and laughed.Gave him my goggles and a little talk about how valuable your eyes are.He wore goggles after that.
