He's taking that battle scar thing pretty serious already with the whole leg thing.

A little black tape to keep the light out and the hood's just fine. Now you see why I get him and his brother and sister helmets from HF.

Len,

I wouldn't bet many have made the connection, yet.

GreinTime is my oldest son for those of you that don't know it. He lost his lower leg in a firearms accident in October and is home rehabilitating and running up my food and electric bill, not to mention medical bills. But he's doing fine for those who are concerned.

Len,
Good to hear your son is doing well. I had to get glasses to keep myself out of the puddle.

Geez, I feel bad for the scar crack earlier. Sorry if that hit too close.

@Krazziee, Hell if my eyes get much worse I'm going to have to contact the Hubbell people to make me a cheater lens.

@SeanM, he was not a all offended by your comment, and kind of got a kick out of it. He comes from a family of stone busters and had to learn early to get a thick skin or become the blood in the water at the Sunday dinner table. That's not to say that he wouldn't retaliate at a future date in response to one of your posts, he's learned that turn about is fair play at that same table, so be ready.
