What'd you do today?

Bummer- Had a PSC (posterior subcapsular cateract) form on my Left eye (dominant eye) in the period of 8 days. Looking through a dense 'cloud' and can not focus. Had NCOWS 3 Day Cowboy Action Shoot this weekend, now can't participate as I can not see. I shoot the hand guns both eyes open, but rifle left handed, shotgun at 7 yards not an issue LoL. Stomped on desk till got into VA yesterday, 2 weeks till surgical eval, and 4-6 till actual surgery, 99% chance we are good to go post surgery.

I hate getting old....................

You interested in any of them? NB4 "No Selling on the Tippmann Forum!!!!"

So, I was supposed to be going to the N. Branch Potomac near Barnum, WV for whitewater rafting this weekend, but instead, I got called down to one of our other units for the next two weekends to bail out a manager whom I've NEVER liked. She's weak, **edited**y, sucks at managing a work crew, and is LAAAAAAZY.... She's needed to be sacked for some time, but they keep giving her second chances because she's in an area of the country where it's difficult to find good help. Now she's sat back and not done any recruiting over the summer and has been caught short for the school year. It's a TINY account, and if I were in her shoes, you'd better believe they'd either fire me, or expect me to cover any missing shifts until the proper people could be found to flesh out the crew, but no. I'd better get a frikken raise out of this....

Sounds about right.

About 2 weeks ago we got snow.  a week later, the only road in and out of town was still a solid sheet of ice.  So, I got new wheels and and some studded winter tires.  So I spent today putting them on and raising my suspension a few inches to accommodate them.  Also changed the oil and washed my car.  

Picking up my car from the shop (FINALLY!) after having it out of my possession for nearly 3 weeks. New torque converter, new solenoid valve body, used transmission. $4575 in parts and labor once all is said and done between the 3 separate shops/dealerships I've had it to. It's been a real chore.

1st shop said, "There's nothing wrong"
2nd shop said, "Yeah, it's likely the solenoid valve body. Try that first."
3rd shop said, "It's likely the torque converter, but we aren't seeing any slipping with the CVT."

I forced the third shop (a dealership) to look deeper. After a week of trying to tell me I wasn't feeling the transmission slip, and that the noises I heard were just heat shields, I had one of their techs drive it home overnight, and return with it in the morning. Got the call from them that day where they said, "Yeaaahhh.... uh... your transmission is toast."

They wanted $8800.00 to replace it with a new one, $7800.00 to put in a re-built one. $4500.00 to put one in that was used with 10k miles and the old failure-prone torque converter and valve body. Called the second shop back, said "how much for a used tranny, NEW torque converter and valve body, plus labor, etc. $4575 later and it should be in good shape.

Other than that, I'm going to go vote.

Picked up a Ruger SR22. Semi 22lr pistol.

I got a SR22 last Saturday. My can worked great with it. It was quiet even with non-subsonic rounds.
