I'm not sure where exactly he is stationed. He came into town on the 10th for his brother's (my sisters son) funeral. He is heading to OK for a few days to see family then going back over. It was good to spend the day with him. I'm now going to be looking for a used bike (inexpensive) as an extra for when he comes home for his sister's Graduation next June.

I've been wearing glasses all my life. Once I have some extra cash, I'm going to get that laser treatment

I had the laser treatment 12 years ago, and 6 months later it had to be redone. My eyes were worse than they had ever been. I could not drive at all at night, the halos (I call them star bursts) were way to severe. The second time was better and did last longer. After about 5 more years my eyesight was deteriorating again. The Halos which had never left were getting more severe and night driving was like going to a fireworks show.
My optometrist said that if the deterioration continued, I would not be able to drive. Finally, I went to a surgeon who my eye dr. recommended. He said the halos could not be corrected but with cataract surgery, my sight would be restored. I would still need reading glasses but my distance sight would be good. He was right. About 3 years ago I had the surgery, which was actually easier than the laser surgery. I can now see better than most from a couple of yards away to a couple of miles away. I am a Yacht Delivery Captain and I take much younger men with me as crew. I can pick up a buoys before any of them. I wear reading glasses only and in good circumstances, I can read without them. The halos are still there, but not as pronounced. Everyone is different. I had the laser surgery because others that I knew had it successfully. There is a lot to be considered before eye surgery, it could be a tough decision and your age will be a major factor. I‘m 72 now.

Bottled 6 gallons of Barolo.
Everything is labeled and cellared.
Getting the carboys ready for crush.
I still need to bottle a merlot....

 

[xanxer82]

I just hope my eyes will take well to the sugary. Astigmatism is not fun.

 

[xanxer82]

Had dinner with my brothers and parents.
Going to have video game time with Kat and her brother Dave.
I need more bottles before I can get the merlot in.
Going to get thoses carboys empty for crush. Really really hoping Serpent Ridge will be able to find some grapes for me. Either merlot or Sangiovese.

Gotta get some breakfast going for SWMBO. It's her day off.
I'll probably force myself to clean another bunch of bottles. I've got a couple hundred, mostly 1.5 Ltr from Carraba's to do.
It seems there is always something to do.

79 degrees for the high today - took the day off and taking the kids to the zoo!!!

 

[xanxer82]

My grapes from Midwest should be waiting at home for me.
Kinda upset they too so long to ship because I leave for Ocean City tomorrow.
Hopefully it's frozen enough for me to add some kmeta and hide in a cool spot until I get back, or thawed enough to pitch yeast tonight or in the morning. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see.

I went to the Chautauqua Produce Auction in NY this morning and pick up 16 qts of Jalapeño peppers. Doug is coming up to pick up the other half Saturday when he brings his daughter up for school. I ordered some OB Green Apple from George and plan on fermenting the peppers with it. I will also make a batch of Jalapeño without the apple. I froze the peppers until I am ready for them. Also cleaned out the freezer and cleaned 4 cases of bottles.
