I've sold my unused Hoodlamb to Merf. I also fly with bifocals, but my near vision correction pretty much undoes the distance correction so I fly under the hood by just taking off my glasses. I suppose under some perverse sense this violates the "must where corrective lenses" aspect of my medical but since I'm not supposed to be seeing at a distance anyhow...
My best IFR hood story is still my flight instructor when I was 21. We'd go out to the bars together and he'd drive home wearing the IFR hood (the old long kind) so he could concentrate on the lines. I'm always surprised I survived that part of my life.
