Kind of OT, Sweats

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

John Rumm formulated the question :

Or a pair of those glasses with the focus adjuster on each side?

That, by my standards, if fat! I'm 6' 3", 12 5 and a bit over 70 - another couple of pounds off would be better. Weight is skewed by infantile paralysis (Polio) and 400k miles + cycling, so upper body is relatively weak. Even with acute heart failure I can still walk 8 miles at about 16 min/mile (not very hilly). BP is about 120/70.

and periscope attachment, with night vision capability :-)

I rather like the double pair that the guy on Repair Shop has.

I know a car mechanic who had his glasses made up like that.

He agrees.

I find my computer specs work well for pretty much everything except very close and very far - to the point that I've accidentally set off driving with them. Use them all the time for DIY.

I'm quite short sighted (about -4) but my eyes are all over the place - correcting for long distance means I can't read anything. The only thing I can see clearly without any specs is very close up.

Ah, I'm not alone then! ;-)

I think I'm long sighted.

Like the Mrs. She can see / read finer things with her eyes (no lenses or glasses) compared with me in my readers but I can read even smaller stuff with my super strong glasses on (x4 or summat). I can't really walk about in those though. ;-)

I was rewiring a light fitting today, stood on the (very solid) dining table. Slightly stooped due to table vs ceiling height.

So the physical exertion being expended wasn't great and the level of concentration not intense. And yet I was sweating profusely doing this.

Late 50s and a bit overweight, but even so this reaction seems extreme. Is anyone else suffering similarly?

Thanks

The mechanism guy? That's 2 pairs isn't it?
