Yeah! Payday for me from SSI. Down a bit on the account from truck repair and camera lens with hood. But, playing with photography and keeping the truck up is life. Then there is the 20 and 40 bucks for the eyeball people.
May as well start on the eys first. Went to the Surgeon to see about getting the left eye fixed. After a lot of testing, he wants to do the right eye first to get my preferential back just n case of something happening to the left. Oh well, next appointment for him is the 4th of April with possible operation two weeks later. Then a follow up visit the next day, the next week, the next month, the next 6 months to make sure all is okay.
The Vette is now in the shop to have the water pump , belt, hoses and optispark changed out. I was able to get all the parts on line for about 340 bucks ( Another reason for the down account average I forgot to mention up there ) . Had to pay 40 bucks to get a truck to bring it from home to Mark's as I didn't want to drive it that far. It might die like it did coming home and we had to push it the last 1/2 block to my driveway.
Good news it that it's sold pretty much as soon as it's fixed. I even told them he could have it right out of the shop, I didn't need to drive it. Just call me and we'll get the paper work done. And I'll say Goodbye Black Vette. It was a fun experience learning you and driving you.

Then , on to getting a C5 I have a lead on in Ragley.  Talked to the guy and was gonna go see it today but other things came up so called and cancelled and will try again tomorrow. It's an 03 Silver paint with grey interior and just what I was looking for. But, need to have the 5 g's in my account from the present car before can get it. 13,500 for the car and then 1390 abouts for DMV and 530 for insurance really brings the total price up.

Last Summer the AC in Bren's Sewing room went out so decided to get that fixed as it's getting warmer everyday. Had an electrician come run a new line to the receptacle  and go to 110V instead of 220. Also, she went with a cooling unit instead of a heat/cool unit. Much less money. Ended up with a 12,000 BTU unit at 380 with taxes. Had a couple friends come take the old one out and put the new one in place. Then had a secure it inside the old shell and make it fit, brace it, make it presentable and plug it in. All is good and the room is cool again.

Chest is healing way slower than I want. I did have a couple back steps from doing things I should not have done and kinds set myself back a bit. Lesson learned though. Just takes for ever to heal so I can do what I like to do physically.

Lots of Netflix lately watching movies and one 13 part series. Makes the time go by and keeps me still. ;-)
Till the next.

  1. Hard for you to 'be still' that much I'm sure but "youse gotta do what youse gotta do" to get fully healed up. Then it'll be hot damp Louisiana summertime and too damned nasty to do much outside.But now its getting the eyes overhauled, always something in this life. Hang in there man, David Baronet
