Went to the opto...op...eye doc today, to get my eyes checked.
Has been having probs with my eye sight on the left eye - fuzzy spot made it hard to see properly.
After a thorough examination the lady doc could diagnose me with cataracts, so I'm going to have surgery done on both eyes. And now I better understand why I was having problems with seeing properly, even though I've used both contact lenses and glasses!
It's a relief really - the surgery on each eye only takes 15-20 minutes and the results are good.
Many people don't have to use glasses afterwards, so 'm hoping that I can get rid of mine as well - but let's see how it goes.
Is now contemplating getting:
A: Nice practical pants with elastic waistband.
B: Soft perm curls.
C: Practical low-heeled shoes in a neutral colour.
D: Walker.
The local brewery, Surly Brewing, just released my favorite beer. Called Surlyfest. It's thier take on a Octoberfest brewed with Rye. It's a seasonal beer so it will only be around for a month or so. Guess what I'm doing after work tonight Maria, can I borrow your new walker
Met up with Bill (N4521U) today he has been in SA seeing the sights the past 2 weeks, we visited some local hobby shops, checked out my "War room" as he called it and had a good chat about various things, lots model related!

What's Trending Friday, September 28, 2:23 pm Search: .Follow . Beer rocks every Friday, but today's actually National Drink Beer Day
4 hrs ago Today's the day to raise a glass in honor of raising a glass (or a bottle or a can). That's right, it's National Drink Beer Day, a holiday that deserves to bump less alcohol-centric celebrations off the calendar, so beat it Arbor Day, and don't come back till you're carrying a six-pack. Why celebrate beer? Has there ever been a dumber question? Because it's one of the oldest beverages in existence, dating back to the ancient Sumerians, who probably chipped the details of their hangovers into a clay tablet or two. So bottoms up, whether you're into pale ales or porters or — you know what? We'll have one of each. [Source]
Well, I've just sent her company another invoice....
And she's fairly well-known within NZ Warbird circles, and NZ aviation in general, so to have someone like her backing you is pretty valuable on its own.
If you have five and a half days to goof off northern Minnesota sounds like a good place to do it! Haven't been there since I was a kid on vacation up along the Gunflint Trail, but I'll never forget it.
