I forgot that the eye exam was $73 and then I paid for replacement lenses, which were $320.

It cost more than twice as much to reuse my frames!

How come frames made from a special titanium alloy cost a fraction as much as small pieces of bent polycarbonate?

I don't think that it makes sense to buy a cheap pair of glasses to protect these.

It just makes sense to shop around first.

It was frustrating to spend hours searching for the best price, but I could have saved $156!

By the way, I finally vacuumed the engine block, although I still need to get in there with compressed air.

I am going to set up my shop fan to blow what my compressor brings up.

My plastic razor cleaned up grime, but not on the mating surface.

There still seems to be a bit of residue there.
