[AT] Having a little fun

[Gene Dotson]

    Brad, my main reason for buying it is that I am cutting a lot of 
shagbark hickory for firewood. These blew down in the storm in 2012 so are 
nicely seasoned. The rough bark has a tendency to throw small pieces of bark 
that always seemed to be aimed at my left eye. Have been wearing safety 
goggles to protect my eyes, but they fog up rather bad. The fine mesh face 
shield Will solve that problem. The helmet is made by Forester.

Gene, keep us posted on how you like your new safety gear. That looks like a 
wise purchase if it works as expected.

Thanks
Brad
