    That’s like putting a needle full of junk in front of a heroin addict.

    Good morning fellow Porchatonians!! Heading out to crew a hot ar balloon flight this morning - it's supposed to be a wedding proposal flight...hopefully she says yes!!

    Glad you got all the equipment in @MQQSE Rob!! We used SUSVEEs in Bosnia to climb one of the mountains I had responsibility for in our AOR - took about 1.5 hours from the base to the top in snow and mud.

    I get my eyes dilated which blurs my vision.

    I got pretty good at administering eye drops over the years. Some stuff I do bother my eyes so I have to use drops for a few days until the irritation
    goes away.

    Good morning, everyone. The ball game last night was just what we needed. Something different on a Friday night. The home team won on a single to deep left field with runners on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of the 9th.

    Routed the power cord and powered up the awning yesterday. We need to raise the front of the awning up about a foot and level it off. I need my son to help me do that chore. He has a side job today so I do not know if he will be up to the task later this afternoon. If not, we will do it on Sunday. Been kind of windy here this week so I am in no hurry.

    My vision keeps improving every day so I will stay the course with the eye drops, eye patch and sunglasses. I actually bought a pair of sunglasses yesterday, online from Costa Del Mar. First pair of sunglasses I have bought since I was in my 40's and wearing contact lenses. They might seem a little expensive, but they were 1/3 the cost of my regular prescription glasses. I had no idea how much decent polarized glass lens sunglasses could cost. I might pick up a second pair for dusk and dawn driving if I have issues with ambient light and oncoming vehicle head lights.
