Finally getting somewhere with my eye.  Going to have a procedure done to remove a membrane that has formed over where i had the cataract removed and a lens was put in. She was telling me this common with what was done. That should correct a bunch of my site. Other issue I have is my cornea is shaped like a foot ball.  Only way to fix that is a corea replacement. We are not going to do this unless absolutely needed.  LAst thie is I have what is called Fuch's Dystrophy.  Basically my eyes are not moistening like they should on their own. So I will be doing drops or a cream to help that issue once the above procedure is done.

No it's not. I would like to hit the retirement button. BUT I would have to find something to make up about $1300 a month to match the shortfall of social security to what I bring home now.  If social security is still there.

Yes it does.

Forgot to mention no leaks from the drive as well.  :good

Been a real freak'n busy week so far.  :eek   I'm being drug into a few projects and my boss still wants ticket numbers up.  :laugh   Good luck with that with all the time I'm starting to spend on these projects. Along with that I will be training a coupe guys so I have a back up so I can leave and take a vacation and not get hammered while I'm gone.  Then get barked at when I get back.

I have spent the last two days just on projects. Monday had my 1 on 1 with my boss and we went over ticket numbers.  I'm behind for the month and he wanted to know if I can get them up.  I chuckled and ask how with the projects I have been drug into.  I can work tickets or projects or work tickets when I have time while working projects.  I can't do ticket numbers and keep up with projects as well.


Got a call Tuesday morning on the truck.  Has changed status and looks like it has gone in to get it's missing chip. Be nice to get it before next weekend. Definitely hope to have it before June 9th. Supposed to go to Laughlin that weekend.

AH HELL NO!!!  :laugh   I'm glad this week is done.  Even though I may have to go in today due to a department failed to let those of us in IT know that they were reconfiguring cubicles.  I had to go in late friday afternoon to remove the phones and I may need to go in today to put them in the locations they need to go to once they are done nd the cabling is put back..

Not being one.  Decided to go out and play with the trim sensors on the boat. Got the drive down and I could get activation with the trim switch only to go down.  Went in the engine compartment and found one of the limit switch connections came lose. Connected it and now I have nothing.  :stupid  The wind came up and was making things difficult so I closed everything up and went i the house. did some research and there is supposed to be a fuse somewhere at the pump, will be looking for that and see if it's ok or not.

News on the truck.  Tuesday morning I get a call saying it has changed status and looked like it got the chip. Sails guy will call me back. Well Saturday early afternoon I get a call from the dealership in california that they have the one I called on a couple weeks ago.  SO I called my sails guy. He was out of the office friday and will be monday, but he is going to follow up monday morning and see if the one  ordered came in. I would prefer the one I ordered. Be nice If I can get it before next weekend.  :good

Here it is, 76 Sleekcraft converted to V-drive, nothing fancy just a 60mph cruiser, 468 with a Powerglide only thing it needs are plates, he put two electric tabs on, worthless so I'll be installing those next winter, it's turn key now so I'll just use it the way it is this summer, best part is a I built the engine and freshened up the tranny last year so I know what I have. :good
