Day 2233

 I woke up at 7:30, got up and did the pet stuff.  Then we were off to the doctor's office.  We got there a little after 8:30 for a 8:45 appointment.

Ellen had to sit outside the door, they wouldn't let her into the office.  After filling out a bunch of paperwork I got called in for the first test.  Overall they tested me with at least 4 machines.  Some of them I'd never seen before.  I had to sit in small waiting areas between each test.  Finally I got to see the doctor.  He used another machine to look at my eyes.

After that he agreed that I had floaters.  He said that them, "it's the easiest operation I perform".  The risks are a detached retina or infection, under 1%.  It's sort of like cataracts.  They do one eye, wait three weeks or so, and then do the other.  There will be lots of eye drops, just like cataracts.  I said do it.  He said the schedulers in the office will call me.

After that I stopped at harbor Freight for an attachment for the new tire inflator.  Then it was Central Market for milk, bananas, bread, and more salmon for smoking.  Then it was the post office and home.

When we got home it was lunch and then a little surfing.  John and Melissa were out when we got home, but they showed up a little later.  While they were waiting I finished the other three shock absorbers for the RC truck.  I'm now ready to get back to some fun assembly.

We spent a lot of time talking when they got back.  Ellen and Melissa made baklava.  Eventually we had dinner (pork chops).  After dinner we talked for a while and then turned on the TV.  We watched both episodes of Boba Fett.  The next episode will be out in a week.

It's getting cold tonight.  I went out to turn on the heater in the well house.  I noticed that the pressure meter is leaking.  I'll call someone tomorrow to fix it.
