Doc told me years ago I would need cataract surgery as early as 60, and nothing's changed since. I'd like to get those new lenses; he said as good as mine were I should get 20/20 or better again. I sure miss that, one of the hardest things I had to get used to, wearing glasses. If I can't get it done with insurance/Medicare, I'll grin and bear the glasses, those things ain't cheap.
Moldie, have 20/20 in each eye and a little better with both eyes. No need for 'cheaters" for close up work either. Medicare covers the basic lens and surgery.....the "premium" lenses cost me an additional $5800. But for someone who's had horrendously bad vision for 60 years, it was worth every penny.
Well, perceived disaster averted. I heard a noise last night on the way home from a meeting. a metallic rattle. It would change with the RPMs. Thought it was a heat shield that had come loose. Fired it up this morning and it was horrendous sounding. checked the shields and nothing was loose, so I figured it was in the cam chest. SIGH. Off comes the exhaust and when I set it down, something rattled. It was the DKCustoms Thunder Torque Insert that had come loose and was rattling around. The only thing I didn't put my hands on before I took the exhaust off.
WHEW!!!
