Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[oplholik]

Coffee and cookies first, sounds like a good idea.

Any tootlers have an eyeball on the kayfun Prime yet? I have to say I'm pretty interested. I'm hoping to receive a chunk of inheritance at some point and I'd like to splurge on a high end atty, wonder if this will fit my bill. Or my poor self will wait for SXK to hopefully come out with one.

It looks good for tootling but I will wait for someone else to try it first.

A wonder of old age are cataracts. I had them in both eyes and had corrective surgery with lens implants. I chose one lens to be for distance and one for near vision. After a short time for my brain to adapt to this oddity, I go without glasses except for driving. The one down side to this procedure is that I don't have the best depth perception without binocular vision. So, to the great relief of fellow drivers, I use distance glasses when driving and have the depth perception.

I read with little difficulty, some type faces and paper quality are easier than others. A paperback on very ink absorbent paper can give me some trouble but much better than before the surgery. Making coils is somewhat difficult and I am looking at some kind of magnifying device for that.

After three years, I would do this again.

I need to mix today. I'm gonna do it by weight and I'm trying to muster up some excitement about it.

Glasses? I got a set of progressives about 3 years ago... they're trifocal with a gradual change in focus.

Water heaters? Ours is chugging along. I know it's more than 7 years old as that's when we bought the house. The O2 sensor and igniter is bad, but I broke the glass when I was making a repair, and it works fine with a match.

Bad pictures? Not happenin'

They wanted $350 just for the progressives lenses not including frame. So I went cheap and still spent $369 for everything.

I can't "Like" this post, this is a sad post.

Not having vision insurance make things expensive.

Small Up-Date on FT...The order I mentioned recently with the single missing Drip Tip changed...The drip tip was to be ready on 9/28 all AOK...2 other items that were to be ready on 9/27 got changed to 10/9/17...I cancelled those items to allow the rest to ship now...Those 2 items were almost half the $$$ value of the order...I just hope they realize I can have those 2 items on my Doorstep in 4 days for an additional $8 "All In"...

I shop as carefully as the next person...But $8 doesn't go very far with my time and patience !!!

Bastids wanna take ya fer all yas gots.

I have to wonder, sometimes... Last time I went shopping for glasses - about 4 years ago - I found it ironically amusing that glasses with no frame to speak of - just tiny little wires for the temples - cost so much more than any other set of frames.

FT has gotten better about their shipping, I think, but their stocking has gone to pot. Seems every time I order something, by the time it's ready to ship, one item is put onto back order status. Doesn't bother me because their gift certificate/exchange policynis so good and fast... unless I don't realize the issue until I've already been waiting a week... also, I'm seeing A LOT of pre-order stuff show up... ugh!

Blew out my chore boots, stepped on a fence post,
sliced my foot had to go to the doc.

Now my foot's elevated,
Wishing I was sedated,
Yeah I went and got a tetanus shot.

Does this mean you can only get around on your flying broom.

Dagnabbit, Shawn, didn't anyone tell you to NOT step on the pointy end?

Good on the tetanus, cheap insurance. That's what got Thoreau's brother, iirc, although from shaving.

I expect you'll be able to make some nice broom straw pads for that crutch

I took poetic license. It was actually the spade from an old T-Post that had broken off in the ground. It was hidden in the grass, sticking up about 2-inches. Ouch!

That makes the tetanus shot even MORE important!!

Ouch! Foot injuries HURT. I managed to drop an ironing board from where it was hanging about 3 feet up straight onto my foot. The end cap had come off, leaving a raggedy sharp metal edge. Thank god I was wearing Australian Lambs wool slippers because the dang thing sliced right THROUGH them, into my foot, and also broke my pinky toe. I really thought I was going to pass out, and I discovered I HATE foot injuries.

This was back in the day when I was still taking opiates. At least there was that, I had no clue that foot injuries could be so painful. And, I'm usually barefoot, too, so I was quite lucky, I think I would have been the lucky owner of 9 toes, otherwise.... "Anna, She of Nine Toes," well, it kinda has a nice ring to it, but I would have been very annoyed for yoga purposes... I still wander outside barefoot in the mornings in the dark, dodging two traps that the husband has set for the packrats.... I guess I like to live dangerously.... I really shouldn't do it as much as I do, but I can't seem to help m'self.....

Feel better soon, Shawn.
