  1. Did it abit over a year ago.

     

    No issues with the surgery (yeah, kinda stressful during the process, but no pain/etc)

     

    Eyes are 20/20 average between both.

     

    I'm pleased with my decision to have it done despite having held off for a long time. I would not change my decision to have it done.

     

    Of note, I still reach for my glasses on the night-stand in the morning. Hard to break a 34 year habit.

  2. VERY neat!

     

    Did you hear about the Spitfire they found in a UK bog last year? They were able to pull the wing MG's out and able to piece a functional one together out of the lot, which they then test-fired using the ammo that had been buried with the plane.

     

    Amazing. John Moses Browning was a Genius.

     

    And Spitfires are amazing...the right plane, at the right time to save a nation. There's nothing like the roar of a Merlin Engine to get the heart pounding....nothing except 4 of them tuned together when a Lanc rolls it's wheels over your head followed by a pair of Spits. Magnificent.
