I might have some vision-related questions for you some day.
Actually, that day arrived about 7 years ago

Boy, that presbyopia turns 'em hostile every time.

Ah-ha! "Presbyopia"! So that's what it's called!!! (with the "t" removed )
The eye-doc said that word so fast (with an Indian dialect) that I couldn't fathom how to pronounce or spell it.
45 yrs of 20/15 spoiled me. A mishap scratched my progressives beyond usefulness and I'm too irritated about the event to replace them. So, over the past several years, I've populated my house and garage with several 1.25 "readers" so I can conveniently see/read stuff within and slightly beyond arm's reach.

Read it again, Sam. Remove the "t" and you'll be spot on. It's easy to add or remove a letter in a word unless you're an attorney (they know that one letter can change the color of the whole horse), and even they, although rarely, sometimes do it. An attorney friend called me one night, telling me that his wife was screeching and jumping around the house like a crazy woman. He said that she had just used eye drops and he knew she shouldn't be reacting that way because the label on the bottle said "OPTIC". I asked him to spell the word on the bottle and he spelled "O-T-I-C". The noisy whirling girl had used ear drops in her eye. For those reading this, The word on eye drops will be "OPHTHALMIC". If you read "OPTIC" on a bottle of eye drops, best to spell it out before making the drop, unless you really need the exercise.

Dudley, it is easy to confuse medicine and other things. According to a passage in "The Alaskans", a very smart guy was taking a horse to the gold fields around 1900. His name was Arthur Burns(mind is starting to come back) and the Eskimos had never seen a horse and Arthur told them to feed it. It did not eat and he found it dead the next morning. The Eskimos came up and said" Great white dog did not eat salmon?"

Funny story, Ken!

Kelly, if you do well with readers, no need to buy the high priced stuff. I get mine at Dollar Tree, various powers for various tasks.
Good job in getting rid of that "t" - my world is back on axis.

Thanks a lot for the laughs, guys.

I just gave my pond rig a spring redo for the Lotus season.

I added a new Fimco 3.8 gpm pump, 1/2"hose, and a better wand. I also gave the rig a dedicated 12V battery that I also use for my bait tank. I threw in a cheap bilge pump and premix my chemicals and surfactant at the shop so if I need to reload, I don't have to come back in. I just measure out the dosage, and fill the rest of the tank with pond water.
