    Sunday 9/08/13 I had a serious eye injury while mowing, not looking for sympathy, I have some computer parts to sort for recycle, not a large amount I was just beginning to get into electronics. I need to get some help sorting as the drive to doctor and hospital is 50 miles one way. I will not be able to sort due to eye injury, hoping there is someone close that could show my wife or son which way to sort for best return. If someone close we could work out a deal.

    Thanks Glenn

    Whats the eye injury.
    I'm interested as even a small one can go bad quickly & we all here are pretty safety conscious.

    To say I'll soon be 73, I wear safety glasses when grinding, cutting metal. But when doing farm work or mowing I never thought about wearing safety glasses. This was a freak accident pushing mower around yard trimming I was 2-3 feet from finish had to pull mower out of corner and it kicked a rock right into my eye. The injury caused a zigzag cut across the eye ball requiring 11 stitches. The surgeons said it was about a two hour operation. I go tomorrow for another checkup.
