    Good morning. Yesterday was interesting. My wife and I tag teamed Costco so while I was picking up my new glasses, she started with the shopping list. Long story short and $305 later we were out of Costco by 11. Came home and put away the outdoor furniture cushions and raked the leaves off the patio, finished the small project by 12:15. I know some in this thread do not care for Amazon too much but yesterday Amazon hit a home run for me. I was trying to buy a Samsung Tab A8 128GB tablet from Samsung just to recycle my old Samsung tablet and receive a $15 credit, just enough to cover state taxes. :) Samsung wanted me to drive to a Best Buy in DC to pick it up, about a 45-minute trip one way. I ordered it on Amazon, $2 less expensive, and it was delivered around 9pm last night. I set it up last night and did a security upgrade. Today it is all about adding apps on to the tablet and baking sugar cookies. :D

    95SLE you reminded me all my Apple stuff will no longer take the updates…iPhone (wifey’s too), iPad (again wifey’s as well), Notebook Air. A fortune to replace it all! Thinking of upgrading to iPhone 13s, iPad mini (for me), iPad full size (wifey), and ditching the Notebook I never use. An expensive endeavor!
    Oops! Just remembered all my insurances come due in January! Ugh! Upgrades will have to wait a few more months.
    On the positive side at 76 probably our last upgrades…LOL!
    I think I’ll have a drink (6:45 am here!).

    :pccoffee: Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Last Friday of the week! Discovered that the Friends of the Library lunch I volunteered to attend is yet another where my wife is a "volunteer", and having truck apart, I arrive early, and leave late. Free lunch?

    Not my day. At least lunch was quick, and I stole the car so I could get back to work.
    This morning I checked on the spray UV coat, and was not happy to find spots that seemed not covered. Looked like some impurity, so I thought to clean the spot with alcohol. This is NOT the thing to do. Stripping that one down to do over! Dang it.

    Last night, when I was happy, I ordered two more of the UV spray to arrive Saturday. I'm not positive I have enough left to do one over, after I touch up the one I didn't screw up. And at lunch time, Amazon tells me Sunday. So, I can't put stuff together this weekend.

    Lunch was not even promised BBQ! Not my day.

    I used https://www.amazon.com/CERAKOTE-Ceramic-Headlight-Restoration-Kit/dp/B084RQKLV8?th=1 on my truck headlights, it comes with the wipe-on pads to apply the coating that turned out to my satisfaction. It's been a couple year now with no haze.

    Just re-did mine this Summer with that.
    Used another brand before that and got less than 2 years out of it.

    That's what I used to get that ragged edge off. We also used it last Christmas on my son's Prius, but it did not last the year, already yellowing. That's why I asked a while back about the UV protectant. It seemed that the Cerakote wasn't sufficient, at least the hottest summer on record here. So I was hoping this would be the two step fix. If I wasn't OCD about those little spots, I'd probably be fine!

    Here's the one I just redid, Cerakote only.

    Here's the one I just added more UV spray. Couple spots , same issue, not as bad. I am going to promise to ignore it!

    20231215_145229.jpg

    It's all good! If the UV doesn't increase the protection time, I'll just skip it, and Cerakote as needed. It's not that hard.

    Should I be confident in my ophthalmologist knowing he is the team eye Doctor for a professional ice hockey team? I haven’t priced the surgery yet because I haven’t decided which procedure I’m going to have. I think the cost is going to be a total shock.

    Well, that's a definite maybe. How many cataract surgeries has he done so far? That said, his answer may not be important if you consider the modern history of cataract surgery. As the story was told to me, an Ophthalmologist working with flight crews from WWII bombers stationed in England noticed the polycarbonate splinters which were often so deeply embedded into the eyes of the flight crews they were not able to be removed. The Ophthalmologist continued monitoring crewmembers with eye splinters throughout the duration of the war and for years after and quickly realized polycarbonate is so inert the eyes never rejected the splinters, and my guess is most of the men (if not all) who suffered splinters were buried with them still in their eyes and never suffered any ill effects.

    I don't know when my corrections will come, but they probably will. If I went through what you did, I'd be going several different places first person said that problems were all in my mind!! My check ups are good, and I get the cool pix of the inside, and through three different docs (mostly because retirement, location) they have all said the same thing each time.
