I hated progressive lenses and opted for bifocals. Okay, sure it makes me look like my grandfather, but after all, I AM a grandfather.
Here's the thing, I don't mind them so far and it IS nice to be able to see and read again without propping my glasses on my head. I am not overtly vain, but I do have a lovely wife 15 years my junior, I didn't want it to look like she was out with her dad if we went to dinner.

I've got good news and bad news for you, and it's only an opinion from a much older man with bright silver grey hair gathered like cliff moss on the side of my bald, alien shaped head.....
..... but I don't think the glasses add a false impression of age as nuch aa the grey in the follicle protrusion on your chin.
Google Barbers in your area and try here again for more opinions
Of course you can always change the frames, but I think they're fine.

It's true. A little grey can be cool, as long as it stops there.
I'm overdue to get proper specs so they may make me younger.
I have non prescriptive ones they sell now at supermarkets at various strengths (I took the weakest) that did help with small text on forms, but cause a headache so I leave them but I did look really cool in a mirror (at a funfair).

Love the glasses. Not knowing different, looks like you have worn them forever. Good choice.
I enjoy the progressive lenses. I've worn them for years. The wife on the other hand hated hers.
Not for everyone I guess.
I use my gray hair to get the senior discount on my liquor.

The grey proves you earned it.
My father always said "it's not years, it's mileage"

Now that's way cool!
..... but for the love of God could you finally now slow down very gently, pull over, and kindly unstrap the photographer/s or your wife from the hood (bonnet).
It's been some time and I'm sure they are a little cold, if not petrified. Thanks.

Both (one last night) and one today were taken when my wife was driving (last night) or when I was in a parking lot (today). I am a very safe driver, sometimes.
This should be interesting...

EDIT:
I IM'd the vendor this morning by Wechat, and he's actually building them at home. And the nixie tubes are apparently USSR made ones, new old stock, as I'm pretty sure this type of display is no longer manufactured.
FWIW I think it's only really China and Russia that still makes valves(vacuum tubes).

Freezer was getting a little light, so I restocked some of the meat. All this...
...turned into this...
Well, I haven't cut up the chicken yet as I got sidetracked.

That should keep the Traeger smoking for a while.
Nice! I look forward to seeing it! I'm really pleased with the Nixie clock kit I put together ~6 months ago:
The tubes are indeed stamped CCCP; the date stamp also indicates they were made in the same month as me.

Where did you get this? I really like it!
I would but glass phones are naked without a case. My cases arrive on Tuesday.
Half-naked is okay.
Half-naked is okay.
It arrived yesterday...and very happy with it. 
Tubes are IN-4, dated March 1974, I was 11 then
"Do not open the fuselage"
Micro-USB, so no exotic power supplies needed here.
...and made last Sunday apparently. 3rd June, 2018.
Dong Le Shan is the guy who makes these.
I don't think he does any international sales, because it's only on TaoBao and the instructions are in Chinese only.

I'd take a picture of my last purchase but A: it would be gross, and B: not much to see.
I'll give you a hint.....it involves the dentist
And that purchase was not one I particularly wanted, nor enjoyed

1 tooth extracted, and 1 tooth root canal. Both done this morning
