ME TOO ME TOO!
Heck, I have issues with the GPS when mounted to the Connie.
I have a pair of glasses with small bifocals for riding.
Darn that hurts. Just got a brane freeze!
Me too... I ended up having to put a magnifying glass in the bathroom. I don't bring/wear my glasses in there, so seeing anything even written in 10 point font seems impossible now. Getting older sucks, but the alternative sucks even worse.
What is it that hurts, Jim?

Krispy Kreme vs Dunkin' Donuts?
Donut Thread!
..and just what are Hooligan's thoughts about Koeksisters?
(obviously, I have a cup of coffee, but alas no donut this morning. )
I probably said this before but..... as an old man, I have a great dose of 'long arm disease' where I cannot focus on anything very close to my eyes. My long vision is good but I need minor corrective lenses to allow me to get closer to anything, such as close enough to a monitor to read it. That is not a problem really either but what is annoying is that it results is a short focal distance; 1.25 diopter lenses are good for perhaps 20" to about 14", any closer and I have to switch to either 1.5 or usually 2.0. That gets me from maybe 12" (Easy Boys!) to about 10" or 9" away at best. To look closer, such as when looking at a PC board, small parts of a firearm, etc., I need 3.0, and they work fine but only for about 2" of focusing range, which is fine for a single task but a few seconds later I end up backing up and needing a lesser power lens again. So normally for any type of changing task, I need 2 and sometimes 3 pair of glasses and have to keep swapping them. A true PITA.
And now for the pet peeve: I do not wear glasses in the shower (duh), and find that while all the bottles in there have writing from top- to- bottom, the actual word or words saying what they ARE seem to be written in 6 point type. Sure, "Vanilla- Hickory" is gigantic and I can read that but who cares. What I want to (need to) know is WHAT IT IS! I wash my hair and sometimes it seems to get even less clean- yep, that was creme rinse instead of shampoo. Sometimes it gets clean, kinda' but burns..... drain opener. Sometimes it gets a little cleaner and is as fresh as a Summer's Eve.... that was..... well, never-mind. So, why not just put what the product actually IS in bigger, legible letters? I think it is a Soviet conspiracy to ruin the American economy by making us use far too many chemicals in the bathroom!
But I am still hoping it will stop deteriorating and get better. Yep, that's the ticket- it will get better.

I had another thought (shocking I know) on this subject.
You have drain cleaner AND Summer's Eve in your shower?
For your wife's sake (and yours) I certainly hope that her eyesight is better than yours...
Someone had to say it, right?
Well, I may have used some editorial liberty there for illustration value. Those products are not really stored inside my shower enclosure. What is stored there is 115% of all the brands / types / scents of all hair products ever sold on the planet; my wife apparently has a rule about never, ever buying the same product twice. Try some product you like? Well enjoy the hell out of that bottle because you will 1) never see it again and 2) it will be replaced by something you hate at least 3X as much as you liked the last one.
But I do have true story that is even more shocking (and not just to the mind either)!
I know an older person who uses Wet Wipes from one of those pop- up dispensers to clean up after..... certain chores in the bathroom. Now for the twist (and I do not mean in the Wet Wipes but the story); same person also has Clorox brand wipes, in a similar pop- up dispenser, in the same cupboard in the bathroom, for bathroom cleaning chores..... but not THAT one. Now this person is kinda' elderly, a little bit of a 'space shot' and not big on paying too much attention to any event. So this one day, in banned camp, she mixed up the two and guess what- she did NOT try to clean the bathroom with Wet Ones so you know the choice left. Turns out, rather surprisingly I guess, that certain tissues of the human body are fairly sensitive to industrial cleansers containing chlorine. Who woulda' thunk it? Anyway, I was not there (in the dwelling, not speaking of the actual room of the crime of course) but I understand things got kinda' loud for a bit, and the event resulted in something that Monty Python's 'Ministry of Funny Walks' writers would not have seen coming. True story.

As I was parking WAY out in BFE (I refuse to park close to the front doors and have my car doors suffer for it)
This is the first time that I've seen a crow make a live kill.
My wife claims that I, along with the rest of the male population, cannot multi- task. I respond that she has trouble single- tasking. Barbs aside, this is one of the most interesting examples of female multi- tasking I have ever seen.....
Now, THIS is an example of how to multi- task..... at least until the police show up and arrest you. But until that moment, this woman was multi- tasking the hell out of herself and actually including others.... Outstanding!

Brian (I have been living among humans now for decades and they still surprise me every single day)
I freely admit I can't multi-task. Look down at display flashing low fuel....run into the back of a C10. I'm also simple, according to my wife. I am what I am.
