I haven’t been on much lately this is my busy season, been working about 80 hours a week. Picked up another mowing contract for a larger sized business park and a new 52” vride. Ive never made more from mowing than I have this year I usually try to focus on landscaping and hardscapes but this year mowing is taking over. I’ll try to come around more often the grass should stop growing so fast sometime within the next month or so

Well, another bullet to be bitten today as I admit how bad my eyes have gotten. It's expected when at my age, especially after being born half blind. And it's been more than 2 years so I'm due a check up anyway. But having trouble seeing the computer screen without moving closer and looking over the top of my glasses tells me something's changed, I'm getting old.

So more walking around as I try to recover from overdoing things in the Dam. Wonderful...

So plans went backwards, thanks to being an old fart I have to get a prescription and check up from an eye doc before I can get new glasses. No big deal, just a pain in the ass, can have that done next week.

But I found the freezer I wanted, and they decided to deliver it this evening (seriously, no special delivery, just standard free service) so now the madness begins as I move things around so they can get the new one in and old one out ASAP. Just what I need with my pain levels, but we're talking "good" movement and exercise when done properly and, as I say, I'm crippled and not helpless.

Having a decent stock of medicine thanks to trip to Dam is a help, have not needed to touch an opiate or benzo since Sunday, so that's a good thing.

yeah, close up is no problem for me either, which is why i would take them off, and i've always been preoccupied with shit, so i'll walk away from them, then i have to spend an hour trying to find them.
the other day they were on top of the pressure washer, which i had put away in the basement....took them off when i was coiling the hose up, forgot them, took me half a damn day to find them

It's why I prefer a certain size and shape so I can slip them down my nose and look over them.

Best one is when I decide to use contacts, I only use one in my right eye, mainly because the left eye is so bad you could use a lens as thick as the bottom of a beer glass and it wouldn't make a difference, and because you can't look over the top of a contact I use the left eye for close up and the right for distance.

You adapt

i'm exactly the opposite, if it's within ten feet, i can read tiny print, once you get more than ten feet away, it gets progressively worse. i can see good enough to drive in the day time without glasses. can't read anything on vehicles, but i can see the vehicles, and pedestrians. night time is a different story, and a rainy night? i should NOT drive on rainy nights, glasses or no.

Yep, rainy night on a blacktop road with no lines sucks :shock:

here's an actual accomplishment, i was nice to someone for once instead of ignoring them, and it paid off. i was at the restaurant smoking wings and a kid in a pickup pulled up in the parking lot. he started fooling around in the back of his truck, and i went out and asked him if he needed any help. he said no, he was from U.T. and they were doing a soil survey to see how things were bouncing back after the fire. i asked him what they were checking for, he said pretty much everything, not only the mineral composition of the soil, but how much of what kind of organisms were living in it.......can i get a copy of that report? sure, give me your email............sweet, complete soil survey just for being nice....i guess i ought to try it a little more often.....but it kind of hurts
