Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Boy, I'm really falling apart...UTI (seems under control) and occasional angina... The angina is worse when I'm lying down...bad enough that I finally took a nitroglycerine pill...abates after a bit, with or without the pill, but very uncomfortable. I can't recall getting any of these attacks when up for the day...strictly a nocturnal event...which is strange
I have an appointment with a cardiologist on the 12th.
Way too wet for any outdoors activities today

Roy, I vote for you to get to the clinic or tell your Dr's nurse your symptoms for hopefully sooner appointment.

Alien, hope they get your wife's heart sorted out. My mom has a pacemaker, it has helped her out.

You too LS!

Bupps and Topps, I pray you all get your situations healed.

I'm far behind on reading.

Lou, with all the birch plywood flying around this thread, maybe y'all should go in for a container load from Helogabals and build your cabinets.

I'm contemplating going to the Texas A&M football spring practice game tomorrow. It is my kind of price (free). They are playing a different game than a standard scrimmage. They'll let the team captains take turns picking teams, just like out on the old sand lot, then they'll line up against each other like a real game. With the Over the Top recruiting year they've had, I'd like to see a lot of the freshmen get their first sensation of being in the middle of a huge screaming fan crowd.

I was wanting to take my daughter to see the A&M gal's tennis team play, but the rest of the season's SEC games are all out of town. My wife says she's concerned that her watching the girls at that high a level, could possibly demoralize her. If they play NCAA playoffs at home, I'll ask her if she wants to go.

We could sure use some of the rain some of you are getting....but not the freeze. The garden is looking pretty good. 'maters are already about 6"-8" tall, with plenty of nice green leaves.

Tesla moving HQ to Texas. Also, I believe Musk has some kind of tunnel boring machine company working on such, in nearby Bastrop Texas area.

It's the weekend!

TIN ROOF.....Rusted!!!

68°F and .48 inches rain and it’s almost 1pm.
Yesterday went well, but I was pretty useless after. Couldn’t use my existing glasses over the eye patch so distant things pretty much out of focus and reading/typing a non starter. A bit envious that Randy was able to enjoy vision a clear protector.

Good report at 1st followup today. Combined distant vision actually better without glasses and doing quite well with old pair of readers for close. Next followup next Fri and left eye scheduled for 5/10. Light duty for next week and I wont push.

Hope Randy and all others doing well.

I just had my left one done, but what you describe is very similar to my experience. My distance vision is tit for tat, but slightly better without glasses and my bifocals work ok for reading. Once the other eye is done I will replace my glasses.

Good morning/afternoon all. A mild night, low of 11C and presently 19C with a slight breeze and sporadic drizzle.

Just doing laundry and 'resting up' for what could be a busy week ahead as our Federal election could be called by the Prime Minister.

Take care all!

You guys that have gotten the catarac surgery...Is there any pain involved?

Looks like rain tonight, then a cool weekend, before a beautiful week next week.
My vision is greatly improved and I’m looking forward to getting the other eye done. Everything is so clear and colors are very sharp. I thought my socks had turned gray, but they are perfectly white. I do have the sand in the eye feeling which I understand to be normal. It seems better this afternoon. My current glasses will need replacement though.

Good for you, Randy
I discussed that scratchy feeling. dr said the procedure leave a slight ridge which should go away in a few days. I’m enjoying sitting here reading and typing on the iPad with these old readers while glancing over them to see the TV. Already a vast improvement over my regular bifocals.

Wife’s knife project completed. The neighbors router bit in his drill press and the wood shop’s isolating sander made quick work of it.

Nice

Good morning, low temp 33 and a high of 41°F. Wind SSW 6 mph. 40% chance of snow or rain showers. Another inside day for me.

Energy conservation day for sure.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
chance of some showers this morning as last of system gets out of here. With four inches of rain, sure don't need any more.

Elderly neighbor who just had a new hip put in just emailed me and asked me if I would go get her a lasagna from Giant. Yesterday I got the weekly paper for her and
I'm sure she saw a coupon. I admit I don't do coupons. They always seem to be expired when I use them. Other local store has a simple 5 bucks off over 50 coupon and
despite what it is printed, cashiers say they don't expire. Plus she told me to come in on Tuesdays and seniors saved another 5 percent. This is the more expensive place, by a bunch.
So the ability to make some of the extra cost disappear seems like smart marketing. And they always have lots of cashiers and short lines. And a deluxe coffee bar with chit chat tables for the locals.

I'm usually trying to avoid any groups of folks as alligators like close contact. And after having four of my close family get sick in last month, I'm still being careful. So far so good.
But the requested lasagna comes from the other store where I normally shop, so I'll go early. My neighbor's significant other is a local police officer crippled from a motorcycle accident when he hit a deer head on. Hobbles around and can't get a driver's license. She's the driver and can't for six weeks. So I'm happy to help nice people who I know are appreciative.

grumbly stomach calling me to kitchen for breakfast.
hope you all have a nice Saturday.

Not for me when I had mine done more than 10 years ago.
