Like your daughter, @JonA_CT , these little fledglings were workin’ it, too.

They’re still here, which means little use of our deck.

It’s pouring here on the Cape. Not ideal when you are camping, but we are making it work. Headed to breakfast and then to Chatham for the morning.

So I started back on a secondary corticosteroid that I had been on last year. I had come off if it earlier this year because it was throwing me into the donut hole mid year, but in thinking about it I had less problems during the summer last year as compared to this. Been back on it a week now, and seems to be helping. The downside, is it seems to be causing increased vision problems I can't win. Last trip to the optometrist he told me I might get another year before I needed cataract surgery, that was three years ago. LOL I can't win!!

Get both eyes done, Smoke. From what I understand, it corrects your vision to such an extent that the difference between your eyes becomes quite noticeable. I just had surgery a few weeks ago, so I'll have to do the cataract thing next winter. On the bright side, if you have astigmatism, they can correct for that.

My Dad just had both eyes done (about a month apart). He is singing the praises. He’s able to go completely without glasses for the first time in years.

My wife had both eyes done 2 years ago, and has no problems either. It's one of those things like a tooth, you know going will make it better, but until you can't stand it anymore, it's easy to put off. LOL

my wife decided she wanted to learn how to launch the yacht and get the trailer back down the driveway. She did a better job than me. Let the fishing begin!!

First Matches:
Senegal - Colombia
Japan - Poland

(USA is still out of the tournament.)

Mary Lou says that World Cup is controlling our lives. (LOL - she is a much bigger soccer fan than Gary.)

What is odd is that for 15 years we've never had a problem getting the dog into the groomers. This week the only openings they have is on Friday, a day there isn't any World Cup. Mary Lou thinks the groomers are all "hunkered down" choosing soccer over dogs.

Perhaps it makes me bigoted or such but no soccer. Close enough to 5 hours to make 18.04 for the week so far. As most days when I clock out I'm down at the deli enjoying chicken tenders and home fries.

I had both done (rear lens element) last year. I had them adjusted for no glasses for things within arm's length which is great for the desktop computer at work, though I still need glasses for driving, TV, reading, etc. I figure I've worn glasses for 51 years so this is fine.

A rolling roadblock... this is a new one. Apparently driving reeeal slow allows for potholes to get filled. I guess they're well ahead of the rolling roadblock tossing gravel and tar into the potholes before the traffic gets there. I wouldn't want to be one of the cars in the front of the pack to be the first to drive thru it. Well gee, it was worth it for the TV station that got a chopper so we can see fun things like this.

I'm behind on my no credit just for the fun of it online course - so I'm cramming! Ahh the memories of college days... But I'm not going so far as pulling an all nighter.

@davidharmier60 No soccer for me either. Never had an interest in it.

@snowbear Well it's official I called the Optometrist and lucked out on a cancellation. Right eye cataract is pretty bad, left eye close. Consultation scheduled for first of August to have cataract surgery.

But you miss out on fun fake injuries!
