Wish I was...would love to take my grandson fishing.....I walk alone.

fishing is another thing we do as a family
he's already caught his first wild trout in the local river
and a big part of the reason I took a break from the sites

Have an appointment with the eye surgeon this morning. Pre op for cataract surgery. Gonna get this done asap. Will be nice to see again.

The entire process including new glasses will take awhile however. In the meantime I will have my nose up against the screen to see.

Good luck with that, it's such a routine op these days. Had both eyes done. If your opthlamologist knows his stuff he will implant a lens to correct most vision issues.

Just ordered progressives from https://www.eyebuydirect.com/. Got a 25% promo. Titanium frame, super light at 9 grams. Been ordering from them and Zenni Optical for many years. I refuse to pay $500+ for something I'll scratch or screw up in a day or 2 of receipt. Although my farming days are limited I'm still pretty hard on stuff like wrist watches and eyeglasses.

The optical and hearing aid vendors/industry is about as cheesey as the cannabis biz.

After our divorce, my ex remarried and they moved from Oregon to Louisiana, so my time with my son and daughter was limited, but we had a good time when we were together and at age 50 my son recounted an exceptionally exciting and memorable peak event during our visits when he was pre-school.

That event was the excitement, joy, and pride of catching his first fish, a small Rainbow trout out of the Clackamas River during one of our visits, and I remember it clearly as well, because of how excited he was.

Hate to tell @Boo but he may have no choice than to be "cut on". I had a pinched nerve (and stenosis which comes with old age) in the lower lumbar area, L1-L5 and a world class surgeon in San Antonio took care of it. There were times I'd screamed so much from that excruciating pain, have to be taken by ambulance or heli to a hospital.

Back problems vary by so many degrees, some issues can be corrected with this and that but there are times when you need a specialist to clean out the stenosis and install rods and screws so the nerves are not pinched.

Bought 2 bottles of CBG/CBD tincture full spectrum from a company I trust, one for me and one for a cancer patient friend going thru chemo. Can help with inflammation. If you have a disability (my deceased wife) they will give you 60% off on all products. https://www.lazarusnaturals.com/cbg-cbd-oil-tincture-full-spectrum#205=5493&188=5442

My friend in Georgia once stopped for a possum that got hit by a car. The possum was dead but she rescued 4 babies from her pouch. She raised them then gave them to the Okefenokee rescue. They was cute as the dickens…

we had fish tanks with turtles ,1 with snakes, another with a turantula, to say nothing about the coon ,he had a collar with tags, the buthole would work with it till he got it off, then at about 2/4 am up on the bed collar and all , like here you ware it this week!

what a crowd!
what a crowd!

I can't do a lot of things, you kiddin'? I'm not a kid anymore, I'm getting older now. I know I'm getting older.
I'm at the age now, to me "shooting up" means the enema bag. You kiddin'? I'm getting old.
No, at my age, I want two girls at once before I fall asleep, so they got each other to talk to. You kiddin'?
You know when you're getting old, you get certain signs. I walked past a cemetery, two guys ran after me with shovels!
