Shit - that's actually about the same as price in US - slightly more in fact. Guess I can't blame tariffs for it after all.
Never bought just a visor - but that does remind me to look into whether tinted visors are even legal here or not. -

Well, just to fuck life up when things seemed to be getting on track after the recent episode:
Boxing Day 2023 I woke up with a bit of vision loss in my left eye. Hospital is always fun that time of year (not) and after spending most of the next day there and running all sorts of tests, they decided to pump me with steroids and sent me off to see a Neuro-Opthamologist.
The diagnosis was optic neuritis. But they wanted to know what was causing it.
And today - after over a year of mostly waiting between tests - the same specialist reckons the diagnosis is Multiple Sclerosis.
Now for another MRI to see if it has advanced, so we can look at treatment options from there.
Given the extended and repeated kicks in the balls our family has received over the past 8 years, I fully expect to win the lottery any minute now.
On the plus side, the doc said it was caught very early and treatments were becoming more and more effective. We're a long way from people being wheelchair-bound by the time they're 50 (I'm turning 49 in June).
He's talking 10-20 years before any impacts to lifestyle at the moment, but needs the next round of tests before being sure.
I've got 5 caps to get for the rugby club to get above two other blokes (absolute peanuts) who don't deserve to be there TBH, and then refereeing. A trip to Europe and other shit once my daughter finishes school this year.
Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'
Nick, just read this. Keep on keeping on, lots to live for mate. Cliche I know but wordiness is not my strong suit. All the very best. You’re a good person.
