  1. Kris, I had mine done in 2008. I love them and they have improved the technology over the years. A friend had his done about a year ago and he got "reactive" lenses. They are designed to change focus like real lenses. Mine are fixed focus so anything outside of about ten feet is in focus, but I still need glasses for close up work. They offered me one close up and one like I got but I rejected it because they showed me what it would be like and it made me sick. Sort of like seasick. Two years ago I was taken in to a specialist to have the "scum" lasered off of my lenses. I was told I'd need it done again in another 15 or 16 years. I'm 82 so I don't think I'll worry about it much. I was an hour in the waiting room and fifteen minutes getting the work done Next to my fully implanted .22 cartridge-size pace maker these are my favorite gadgets. I absolutely love both of them. Tell you what: get them done and give it a week for you to get used to them, and then you and Uno come to Arizona and I'll buy you breakfast or lunch...or both. I'll even throw in a great supper.
  2. I don't need light sensors. I'm looking for a simple, screw in MOTION sensor. I can't believe I'm the only person on this entire planet that wants one of these.
  3. Seems I remember seeing a device that you screw into a light socket and then screw the bulb into the the sensor. Can't find such a gizmo anywhere. I have solar on-off light bulbs, but can't find anything similar unless I'm willing to buy an entire light fixture, which I'm not. Suggestions?

  5. I don't even know what that's like and it's been 46 years since I left the Corps. I just got used to getting up around 0400 hours and never bothered to change my biological clock.
  6. They won't be nearly as cute in a few years when they get to be 400+ pounds and see you as lunch. Beautiful, yes. Magnificent, without question. Cute, huhuh!
  7. I had one of those in Vietnam when they first came out. Bought it from someone who was rotating back stateside. Mine wasn't nearly that pretty but it rode nicely in a small of the back holster that I had made for it. I gave it to my battalion adjutant when I came home.
  8. Every day carry is a 1957 vintage Colt .38 Detective Special, 2" 6 shot with a Tyler T-Grip and no other modifications. Solid 95% gun and fits me like skin. Steady diet of Hornady Extreme Defense loads riding in an Italian Vega "Vampire" upside down shoulder holster. Took some fiddling and trial and error to get it comfortable, but it sure works nicely when you finally get it right. Sorry, no pics. I'm looking for really good S&W Model 19 with a 2" (2 1/2" ?) barrel like one I had long ago and far away (1971, Peoria, Illinois.) but I could go to college for a semester or more for what they are going for. Of course there aret my two 5 1/2" SAA .45s, a modified 1875 Outlaw, a Uberti first model American 8" in .45 Colt, and a few more wheel guns that are just too big for wearing every day.
  9. Us obnoxious old farts can work damn near any gun that comes along and I earned the right to be obnoxious to any young puke that tries to talk down to me or treat me like don't know anything or in any way whatsodamnedever with even a hint of disrespect.
  10. WHAT KIND OF MODELS? Cars? Trains? Airplanes and space ships? Military? Super heroes? Boats and ships? I can't see this dork dating much of anything else.

  12. Why is there no horizon for reference?
  13. My Dad was a college professor. Someone came to visit and they asked Dad how many students studied there. Dad answered "about one in a dozen."
  14. SEE?! I TOLD you that el chupacabras were real.
  15. My sister came to visit and complained about my dog. I told her "the dog lives here. You don't. If it bothers you, there's a Hampton Hotel a half mile down the road and I'll tell you where we can go for breakfast." He husband nearly hurt himself laughing and told me she bitched about his dogs, too. Said he made her a room of her own where the dogs weren't allowed in. He called it Nancy's Kennel. We don't talk much any more. I'm okay with that.
  16. We cross-supported some Aussie bomber pilots and their guys in Vietnam. They said the same thing about us.We both said the same thing about the Wisconsin reserve unit that was activated and sent over, and we all said that about the southerners and east coasters from here. Dialects are fun.
  17. That would scare the sh-- out you...or knock it out! Either way it would cure any constipation in a heartbeat.
  18. This very sign is on a wall at Jen's 7th Avenue Cafe in Prescott Valley. If you're in the area stop by from 6:00am until 2:00. It's about the best cafe in the entire state, maybe in the whole world. Watch a great staff at work and get a fantastic meal to boot.
  19. Don't laugh. If that actually were to happen you can bet the rent it was funded by a government grant.
  20. Lots of changes since I left the Army. First was the embarrassing "new" emblem, that stupid kindergarten white star on the black back background. I never served one second under that POS thing. I wanted a new veteran's cap and couldn't find one with the "coat-of-arms" style so I found a patch and had one made. Next is the dress uniforms, both blues and greens, that have nothing to recommend them, no personality at all. Finally, if this cartoon is an example, they turned the enlisted stripes upside down...... again.
  21. I have a surgical solution to this problem. Takes maybe five seconds.....but I'm pretty certain throat cutting isn't legal outside of Muslim countries.
