Went to the eye doc today following up on the last procedure. Didn't really see any difference since. Now we are looking at the next step. More invasive to the cornea as in replacement surgery. I have a couple options. The first one recovery is quicker where the second will take longer to recover. I think I'm leaning towards the first one. Procedure is similar , one is more invasive than the other

Holy $h!t, both are death defying to me, lol I'd say the one that's gonna FIX it, period!! Enough of this experimental crap. Who is doing this stuff, same place as the first surgery? I'll take ten back surgeries to one of them.

OH NO!!! I'm not seeing that quack. I'll be damed if I let him even mow my lawn. I'm seeing someone ells over off 91st ave and thunderbird. She is a little eastern India gal that actually will talk to you and answer your questions. She don't beat around the bush and will talk to you like a human. The decision is up to me on what I want to do. She gave me the info on what needs to be done. From my first visit she had told me there was issues with my cornea and what they were and how they effect my vision. She did a couple things to try to keep from doing this procedure, but it has come down to needing to do it if I want to clear up my vision. I need to figure out when and what procedure I'm going to do.

I hear that, sounds like you have a decent doctor now If both procedures give the same results I'd pick the easiest one And get it done as quick as I could.

That would be the first one. She was telling me that that one I will need to be on my back for 48 hrs to let things heal and about a month be real blurry in that eye. The other she tells me I would be blurry for 3 months. I have to look at down time from work. Not sure I will be real helpful with one eye and really straining my left eye to make up for the right being blurry

Got the alternator in and fired the boat off Saturday morning. All done by 8:30am. Charging like it should now. Didn't go out this morning. Shooting for next Saturday morning. With the weather looking ugly for the week, I decided to get the backyard mowed.

Didn't take mine out either, discovered fuel leak and have to replace fuel lines, of course nobody carries 1/2" so I have to order it, also have to rebuild water pump.

Well, I found it at Parker Auto Monday, for the pump I found a Neovane that I've had for a long time so I just put that one on, but had to change the plumbing around for that, so I'll make another attempt to launch this Friday.

Thanks, but not gonna happen today, fired it up to set timing and noticed hardly any water flowing out the exhaust on one side, something in there is plugging it up, probably impeller chunks so all lines have to be taken off to find it, then I noticed low oil pressure looked down and saw about a half a quart of oil on the floor, gauge hose sprung a leak, it's all brittle from sitting in the heat not being used, and that's gonna be a real PITA to get at the way he had it routed.

hope all is good to go.
Got on the water about 6am. had a good outing. Got sprinkled on a couple times. Idiots were in full swing so we headed to the trailer. On the way off the water we ran across a couple that just bought an 81 Bahner cruiser. Nice looking boat. Just picked it up Thursday. It had a small block with an out drive.

After looking at the actuator, I think a bleeding will get us through. Definitely will be looking at replacing the actuator over the winter. Not going to be fun since the Atwood that's there now is welded on. . might be best to find someone to build me a new break away extension to mount a new actuator.

. I'm surprised one of the boat shops around didn't have it.
