First: I'd like to apologize to a few folks around here for dropping off the scope and not finishing up some email conversations and getting back to them. Or replying to posted questions...it wasn't due to a lack of caring....it was lack of eyesight ....uggh Second: PLEASE Always use appropriate eye protection when using compressed air to blow the smutz out of miscellaneous crevices, nooks & crannies ... especially ones that contain battery acid / residue.... So.... a couple of weekends ago I successfully replaced my a/c compressor clutch coil [in situ btw, and I owe jorrell a write up about how that went]... during the "effort" [there's a good name for my car "The Effort" but maybe in Swedish - ansträngning , well maybe Annie for short lol ]...but I digress... Anyway, during "The Effort", I figured that laying across the battery while sweating like crazy [it was 97] was not the "smart" thing to do, so I pulled the battery...that also gave me more maneuvering room... since I am in the habit of cleaning everything I pull out, and cleaning around it, I grabbed the air hose and blasted away at some wet sandy smutz that was living under the battery... you remember I was sweating?....well I had laid my glasses down atop the radiator because with all the sweat dripping I couldn't see out of them anyway... well I managed to blast all the smutz up into my left eye... bottom line is I managed to scratch the sh!t out of the cornea and got a secondary infection from what ever was in the smutz... vision was useless and painfully sensitive to bright sunlight... it's been an annoyingly slow recovery, but about 95% back right now... So, I am now the proud owner of several pairs of wrap around safety glasses: clear, yellow & sunshades... word to the wise: get some ... I'll close by borrowing from a familiar ad campaign: Safety glasses: $30, Eye doc: $$$ more than a whole parts car Vision: priceless Cheers, John Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
