Got two VA doctor appointments out of the way last week, renewed prescriptions and Doc said I appeared to be doing "OK"........at least for an Old Fart. Got fitted for a hearing aid and hopefully will have it before we head North. Doc said they are about 2 months backlogged; but, she'll put a "rush" on my order. Got a VA dental appointment and appointment for eye exam next week. Slow process; but, at least it won't cost me anything out of pocket........they even pay me mileage!
Well, I found an old "beater" Honda Accord, 1990 model with high mileage. It ran very well; but, I still probably screwed up. I had to drive back up into the "hills" to check it out and I didn't get it on the highway during test drive. Mistake!! When I got it up to about 60-65 on the highway I could feel a vibration from the front. Got an oil change and had it checked out..........got a bad CV joint on one of the axles. Getting it replaced today.........upped my investment about another $200.00. Sure hope it doesn't become a "money pit".
Poor old RZR sitting in the garage getting old..........no place to run it. My neighbor is into off-road motorcycling and he said he knows some guys that run ATVs/Side by Sides and he'll get me a phone number to contact them. Would be nice getting hooked up with some others before it gets too hot around here. Speaking of hot......weather doing pretty good now, cools down at night but into upper 60s and lows 70s during the day ..........that's OK.
We were going to Woodland this last weekend to take in Bryce's baseball games; but, he saved us from that trip by messing up his thumb in practice. They thought he had broken it; but, he has a bad sprain so it looks like he'll be out of commission for awhile. Bummer, as he's really into baseball. We'll be heading down to Woodland next weekend as his BD party will be held on Saturday. I imagine we'll go down on Friday and come back home on Sunday. Boy, these gas prices will probably slow us down faster than "Old Age".
Well, that's about it for the last week..........more if anything interesting happens. W&B
