Today sucks. Trying my best to snap out of it. Gotta go to the grow store as soon as I finish my due diligence in the grow. Need new T-5's for my clone dome.
Get feeling better pops!
I am loading 3 dogs and a wife to go to Butte about a hour away........nearest "city."
Best food there is a wendys if that tells you anything but they have a Wal-Mart and the wife loves her some Wal-Mart.
At least the drive up the I-15 corridor is visually spectacular possibly one of the prettiest stretches of road I know.
 
OK... I gotta share -- My neighbor inna back had a professional fireworks thingy set up. I did not know this. Just thought they were having a humongous party.

I was able to get two good shots from my cannon. I got my neighbors from either side of me to light the fuse of said cannon each time while I hid waaaayyy back. Glorious boom/smoke/flame.

Meh. Peh. Feh. My back neighbor set off at least ten thousand bucks worth of serious fireworks, with Witchie-Poo and Himself having the best seats in the house (my back yard).

It was the best fireworks I have seen in over half a century. 🥰

When we had Illusions berthed across from Fort Vancouver, we had a front row seat for the Fort Vancouver annual fireworks display. When it was over, we took a nap while the traffic cleared out, before driving home.

Had a eyeball doctor's appointment at ten this morning. Holy mackerel, the place has changed over the years. Years ago, the owner had a mean old gal receptionist that flat out looked down her pudgy nose at any biker/hippie. They always did a good job, so I put up with it. I can give snotty looks just as good as she could. Walked in today and WOW! The new receptionist was a drop dead gorgeous blond with rather beautiful lung warts and wore a top that showcased them perfectly.

Doc did his thing and said the 'script needed a little twink and sent me out to the desk to go over what lenses I wanted. Instead of being the owner, it was an equally pretty blond with beautiful eyes, dressed nicely, and as kind and friendly as you could want. Gave her my new frames (thank you ebay) and ordered the same lenses I did last time, three years ago. Same price! Amazing that they hadn't gone up like everything else has.

The owner makes a hell of a markup on frames. He doesn't stock the round ones (think John Lennon), so I buy 'em off of ebay for fifteen or twenty bucks a whack. I always buy two just incase I break a bow or something. If he had the same frames, he'd be charging a hundred or more.
 
Just roll iffen ya can't walk.😁
It's hard facing the fact that if things continue you may not be able to do as much. Several years ago I would start the walk to my mailbox, 300 ft, and not make it. I would have to give up on the mail to make sure I got back inside the house or at least the front porch. I had given up hope that I would be walking again. Really makes you look at life differently

Now I can run a little and walk enough

Last eye doc go round, I re lensed my current glasses, along with up dating my sun glasses, and my shooting glasses. They charged a 30 fee for "reusing frames" even though I bought them there previously.
