Sorry to hear Plook

Weekend's come again, for the next few days there will be some major heat coming up, so I'll try to get some sleep and get my bedroom as cool as possible.

Watched that video Bonny. Picked up some facts that I missed from the tour last year.

It was a different tour (there are 4 or 5 different canal tours), this one sails around the town. As we were with guide dogs, they wouldn't let us sail underneath the buildings, where all the bats are. Guide dogs are spectacularly well-trained (their education costs about as much as a human's) and legally they are permitted to come everywhere, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

The dog thing has gotten ridiculous in the US people buy these service dog jackets online and take their dogs everywhere no training, I'm a dog guy but it is out of control.

It's gone to the dogs!!

Literally...

I bought a new car this weekend my Equinox was 11 years old and the warranty just expired and I could not get a comprehensive warranty due to the cars age.

I purchased a 2022 RAV4 XSE Sport SUV Hybrid it is Gold Certified with only 29000 miles on it which is super low, they average 40 to 50 miles per gallon so it should save me $50 to $70 a week alone (I drove it to the golf course yesterday about 50 miles and the gage is still on full).

It was priced at $38800, I got $1,500 off because Kats son works there, I wanted $8000 for my car and they couldn't do it like that in the paperwork so they gave me $6000 and took another $2000 of the price, plus I put down $8000.

That got us to $21300 and while I have a 10 year warranty on batteries and an 8 year warranty on the drive train the comprehensive was only 1 year they offered me a bumper to bumper warranty for the 7 year life of the lone for $2500 and I priced these warranty's and they go for $5000+ so I added it .

So I financed 23800, I told Kat the car can be my casket when I kick the bucket...

I know exactly where you’re coming from Plook.

Tomorrow I have an eye surgery for the cataract that I developed in my right eye due to an injectable I was taking for Eczema, they will be doing my left eye August 17

Take care Plook

Break a leg Plook!!

Hang in there, Plook!

Today Polydigm and I met up again in The Hague, which was lots of fun!

Eye surgery complete I can already tell the results were good.


I have to say the procedure is terrifying, the staff was great but I realized during pre-op they are going to operate on my eye well I am awake.


An older woman I could not see in the prep area next to me told the nurse in a voiced of an older woman "I'm scared" it it was justified.


I just mentally prepared myself like I would for any challenge and said you can do this.


The doctor was great narrating everything as they worked and I followed his instructions to focus on the 3 lights.;

Kat is calling me to dinner I was talk to you all latter.

Good to hear all went well

Glad to hear it went well! Hope the sight recovers swiftly!

Well done Plook!!

I saw my eye doctor this morning and she was amazed at how good my eyesight was already, she even cleared me to go golfing tomorrow I see her next Thursday and if all goes well she will clear me for swimming Kat and I have been swimming a lot this summer so that will me great. In fact we have had a swim and BBQ party planned with a couple other couples for the 8th so that will work out great!
