My Neighbors Rock

[Riveted1]

Well, at least one set of neighbors do My neighbors know I love to work on my truck, so they got me some Oakley safety glasses. No special occasion or anything! How cool is that?! Now I can throw away my scratched up $10 ones. Yay!

Thats a nice gesture man, but lets hope it's not a sweetener before they ask you to stop working on your truck so much

[Bus Ted Knuckle]

you better watch out...he wants something

[Riveted1]

Haha... well, we kinda go back and forth. He's not very handy, so when they need stuff fixed I help em out if I can. She makes me cakes and cookies all the time too. Fattening me up maybe?

And as far as them asking me not to work on it, I don't think they would ever do that. I have a Burb next in line after the truck, and she said I should get him over there to help me so he can learn about cars a little bit.

That's a refreshing story considering how many "bad neighbor" stories we always hear!

From Oakley's site: (LONG)

We were answering the performance demands of professional athletes when another group came calling: the industrialized world. It’s no secret that Oakley protection technologies have been embraced by soldiers, SWAT team members and others who take their view of the world seriously. From heavy industry to home repair, workers wanted that same level of protection, so we created the Industrial M FRAME®. Tested and qualified as true safety glasses, this lens/frame combination meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for clarity and impact resistance, as well as the protection criteria of Canada’s CSA Z94.3-02 standards.

For the high-mass impact test of ANSI Z87.1, a 5-inch metal spike (17.6 ounces – more than a pound of weight) is dropped on the lens from a height of more than four feet. To pass the test, absolutely no frame parts or lens fragments that could contact the eye may be ejected during impact. For high-velocity impact testing, a quarter-inch steel shot is blasted from a pneumatic cannon to hit the lens at 102 mph. Lenses are shot from various angles. To pass the test, no contact between the lens and eye is permitted, and absolutely no frame parts or lens fragments that could contact the eye may be ejected during impact.

This level of protection is made possible by proprietary geometries and materials. Oakley’s patented technologies maintain optical clarity with lens contours that enhance side protection from sun, wind and impact. Stress-resistant O MATTER® frame material is engineered with a critical degree of flexibility to absorb impact. PLUTONITE® lens material is impact resistant and offers added protection by filtering out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. The UV protection is built into the lens material – it is not a surface coating that can wear away – so even our Clear lens offers the full level of UV filtering.

Safety isn’t limited to impact protection and UV filtering. Sometimes, the most important thing in avoiding hazards is spotting them in the first place, so this eyewear utilizes HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®). HDO® is a collection of patented technologies that allow the Industrial M FRAME® to surpass all ANSI Z87.1 optical standards including tests for Clarity (by maintaining visual sharpness at greater viewing distances), Refractive Power (by minimizing the affects of a common optical aberration that causes inferior lenses to magnify images like prescription lenses), and Prismatic Power (by minimizing the affects of a common optical aberration that causes inferior lenses to bend light, a weakness that makes objects appear shifted from their true position).


So yeah, I think they'll do!

I can say that I had my tranny out this weekend to put a higher stall converter in and didnt get done till about 10:30 and when I fired it up I thought I stay up till 12-2 all the time so I didnt think about my parents neighbors and the next day I thought to ask them if I was a bother and When she said that I woke her up I truly felt bad. I asked her if I have done it in the past and she said all the time but her son was a gearhead so she didnt realy care, thats when I knew that they had great neighbors
