be afraid mighty stag...I can see...
« on: June 10, 2019, 09:11:37 AM »
Three days of rain has hopefully now come to an end. That means I can finally get out to my son's to 1. pick blueberries & 2. get in some range time.

The big news for me is that my cataract surgeries are now complete. My fear was that after the surgeries my vision would be great at a distance but that close up would be so bad I might not be able to see my iron sights. I was really concerned.

But I have be "sighting in" for a couple of days now and I can actually see even better than before. Beware, mighty stag...and be afraid. Be very afraid...

Keep me updated on this, please.
I have more than just a passing interest in this old age thing.

It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

Boy, was I mistaken...It has not stopped raining. In act it is actually raining far harder this evening than yesterday. Four straight days of rain, so I am beginning to look at plans for a raft. Don't think I have time to do a dugout...

And Russ, I will keep you updated on the aging situation.  :shake So far it has been fairly steady...not sure if that is encouraging or not...
