Sucks getting old.

But it beats the alternative.

Getting dilated sucks. My Dr. has the fancy machine too, but they all say the best way to really check you out is to look "old school". I'm going to have cataracts show up in the next 10-15 years.

Interesting. I'm due any year now. My wife's went a couple of years ago.

I’m only early 40’s but I get the retina scan every 5 years. Never had to dilate. My eyes are mostly fine, only one in my family. I use glasses with a prism for astigmatism when I’m at the computer all day but that’s pretty much it.

i was mostly joking.

Yes it does, one of the things I really like about it though is that my level of "Giving a shit" gets lower every year. Another 15 years and I figure I will be comfortable taking a dump in a Walmart!

back in ’07 I was riding back from Ballymoney to Dublin with the wife when we saw signage for Trim castle. Awesome, let’s stop. We were already soaked throughout, so what’s a little more rain? well... it depends on your scale.

Good stuff, never saw that before.


:Big Laugh: I don't know if that's what I looked like, but it sure as hell is what I felt like!!

That 360 birds eye view is the best thing created in automotive industry. I have to drive thru a very narrow alley, half mile long, only 1 vehicle can pass at a time, there are 4 spots on the way that are little wide, that 1 vehicle can edge stop there while other can pass. Very tight with normal cars, but big trucks, very difficult unless 1 person droped of guides you. well since 360 camera, that whole process is piece of cake, can go precise as within few millimetres of a wall
