Get yourself some cheap sunglasses? (Oh yeah!)
 
When on the water or driving I need decent sunglasses as I am sensitive to
sun glare.

I don't like to spend a fortune on them (already lost a pair on my friends
boat) but I like polarized glass lenses.

I currently wear these glass lens polarized Ray-Bans:

$100. Not the quality of Maui Jim's or Revo's but they do the job. ;-)

How about you. Cheap, moderate or expensive?

++++++++++++

Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Top

When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Spied a little thing and I followed her all night
In a funky fine levis and her sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

(solo)

Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I still have my Ray-Ban Aviators with ambermatic (sp?) lenses ... they
darken but primarily reduce glare ... perfect. They can still be had by
special order.

Costa del Mar. Green/amber lens.

Will not buy a Ray-ban anymore. Had 2 Aviators break at the same place on
the temple. They say they are not warranted over 3 months. Last pair I
bought at Costco were Bolle's (even though they are made in France). $40.
Their H2Optics. Even come with a great neck strap with floatation.

Bass Pro has some really nice sunglasses for the price.

Don't understand the made in France reference?

I usually buy glasses for less than $20 as long as they fit well, are
comfortable, and, looking through them, they seem to be not grossly
distorting or anything like that. I had a good pair of sunglasses
once and they didn't seem to function any better than the cheap ones,
and they succumbed to my abuse just as quickly - abuse in the form of
mistreatment and mis-placement, if you know what I mean.


Eisboch July 15th 05 12:53 AM



Somebody originally wrote about sunglasses:

How about you. Cheap, moderate or expensive?


I also prefer the $100 Ray-Bans with glass lenses, mainly because I also use
them when riding a motorcycle. I've tried several high end plastic lens
types, but they all had some distortion and lacked the image clarity of
glass lenses.

I was able to get a free replacement from Ray-Bay when I had a problem with
a lens constantly popping out from the frame.

And it was most likely my fault as I readjusted the glasses to make the main
frame fit closer to my face.

I did not see Bolle sunglasses sold here at Costco. Is it a regional thing?

How do you like them? Glass lenses?



Bill McKee July 16th 05 05:45 AM

Lots of people in this newsgroup have a Francophile phobia. As to
distortion, do not want any noticeable. Give you headache. Last $14 pair I
bought, On trip when I broke the ear piece off, droped on ground, and the
left eye is good, the right eye looks like you are looking through a 500
year old window. I liek the Costa Del Mrs, but have had a pair or 2 walk
off.

I use the $20 jobs that fit over my prescription glasses. They do the job and I
don't have to pay $450 for a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Wearing a cap with a black underside to the bill helps tremendously.

When I buy new eyeglasses, I have the optical shop send the frames away
(titanium) and have a pair of sunglasses custom made for a perfect fit.
Costs me $90 - 100. each time.

Ah. I've tried those, but on the boat the wind gets in my eyes and makes them
water badly. I need something with protection on the sides. When I mentioned the
price, I was referring to the wrap-around style.

That's because you're a non-boater, and if it isn't something simple
enough for you to understand, you send your wife forward to raise the

Yes, we are "boat-less" at the present time...and this after some 25 years

of boat ownership. sigh But you know the reason why we sold our 32

footer recently as I have posted it several time here. For that reason I

will not repeat the reason why.



Our kids grew up on our boats and on the lake (Lake Erie) since they were 6

month old babes. Both love the water and took to it instantly. Being able

to enjoy weekends, holidays and vacation together on the boat as a family

was absolutely priceless and provided them with memories they will never

forget.



We will buy a smaller boat when we buy our retirement house on the water in

a few years (or sooner). But that is not important at the moment.



Boat-less...indeed. But despite all this we remain *boaters*. Yes, one can

remain a boater without owning a boat. I would guess we spend more time on

the water and boating than you do. And you would never have seen a post

from me here during weekends, holiday or vacations when we owned a boat as

we were on it. You seem to post here 24x7 despite the fact that you claim

to own at least 4 boats. Absolutely amazing! Just how do you find the

time? ;-)



Despite all this the big questions to you Krause is: Why are you so

obsessed with the fact that I am boat-less for the moment and why does that

bother you so? Does boat ownership somehow make one more credible or more

important? You apparently think so...why am I not surprised?



Understand this Krause: I am comfortable with the fact that we do not own a

boat for the moment. My wife is comfortable with that fact. My kids are

comfortable with that fact. Despite that we are all happy and love each

other.



How can that be? I would rather be boat-less and happy than be the grumpy

old man you are. Unlike you I do not have to make up stories about owning a

phantom custom made 36 foot lobster boat. Unlike you I do not have to make

up stories about phantom fishing trips and being on the water. Unlike you I

do not post pictures of what I say is my wife that I lifted from the

internet. Unlike you I don't have to make up stories about my wife's

education. Unlike you I don't have to post pictures of my driveway and

brag about how long it is.



Yes, I don't have to make up stories about my life.....all things you do

right here....all things you have been caught in a lie doing so.



I am happy with my life, you obviously are not. You continue with the lies

about your fantasy life because you need some sort of validation from the

folks here...members of an obscure boating NG of all things.....a validation

that you need to show that are more than the grumpy old man eating cheese

doodles at his computer 24x7.



It must really suck to be you and to have to wake up each and every morning

to look in the mirror knowing you have to live another day as Harry Krause.



OUCH!!!

Relax Bill. A nice cold drink once in a while is good for you.


I am relaxed, I still wonder what contructive posting you have done?

Stick around...keep your nose out of the bottle and pay attention. You
may be surprised what you'll learn.

You and Harry drunk together. You seem to have a fixation on alcohol
consumption.



Maybe Don can point out some of the on topic contributions he has made
here. I cannot recall ever seeing any.



Since you are boatless and have no interest in boating, I'd assume you
would just pass over any legit boating posts.


But his boat was bigger than all your boats together, and he at least boated
on his own boat.

Indeed. Donny saved up enough money by living with his mother to buy an 18
foot sailboat last year....his life savings I would guess.

And I have yet to read a legitimate boating related post from Milquetoast
Don..

Jeez, Bill, how drunk were you when you wrote this? It's barely
understandable.


Jeez, Kevin. You should learn to keep your mouth shut. Better for you
to
be thought a fool, than to prove it.


Now, Bill, here's a hint for you. Re-read your above post. Go ahead,
look at it. You barely wrote anything legible. "I liek Costa Del
Mrs."???? That's just one instance. Read the whole paragraph. The only
thing in that paragraph that comes close to being English is the fact
that SOME words are spelled correctly.




Bad keyboard, and you are still an idiot Kevin. What constructive have you
added to this thread or to a boating thread this year.


.....and if anyone believes that, I have a bridge or two to sell here in
my home port.

You claim you sold a boat you allegedly owned because of some medical
problem of your wife's, but you're boating now on the boats of friends.

Sure, Hertvik.


The real problem here is credibility. After JimH's outrageous baldfaced

he says.
'Fool me once...shame on you
Fool me twice...shame on me..'

Don,
How could anyone believe anything Krause says. He lied about his boats, he
has lied about his education, he has lied about his wife's education and
career.

The question I have is "why"?

First of all, I apologized to Chuck for my indiscretions. Yep, I lied, but
I admitted to it publicly in this NG...something you are not man enough to
do. Chuck accepted my apology.

Secondly, my boat, along with pictures and full descriptions was posted on
rec.boats.marketplace. You even admitted to seeing it there.

You have the balls to bring up my wife and the reason we sold our
boat......the reason was explained in detail here yet some of you without
mental capacity fail to grasp it. How dare you.

Our kids grew up on our boats and on the lake (Lake Erie) since they were 6

month old babes. Both love the water and took to it instantly. Being able

to enjoy weekends, holidays and vacation together on the boat as a family

was absolutely priceless and provided them with memories they will never

forget.
