Seeing clearer

[greatbear]

Been both hectic and full of apprehension here at the Manic Mechanic Orbiting Garage Headquarters the last few days. Yesterday I took Mom to GBMC in Balty for her cataract and glaucoma surgery at an ungawdly hour of 5am. Today's followup indicated that all went according to plan, and mom is already starting to notice a difference. As time goes on and things stabilize, the same procedures will be repeated on her other eye (for obvious reasons, the procedure is done on one eye at a time). The people at GBMC seem very competent and accomodating, which is both refreshing and assuring. I'll even put up with waking up with the chickens again.

The weather here has been gorgeous the last couple days. T-shirt and jeans, work-on-cars-for-fun-and-profit sort of thing. It does wonders for my mental well-being. I'm tired of hibernating and cold. Kinda pissed that some of my go-fast goodies did not arrive yet, I was hoping to do some suspension tweaking on the MINI and tearing up some roads. This Wedneday, MINI of Towson is having their 4th "MINI Night", a big, free event where they throw open the service bay for how-to's, chats with factory peeps, new products and free grub. This is so unlike any typical dealer events. Makes the 'new car feelgood vibe' continue for quite a while, with a big bonus of meeting and getting back together with fellow motoring enthusiasts and comparing notes.

I cant believe that I havent received any more questions for "March - Question Month". Either I answer everyone's deepest (or silliest) questions in my various entries here, or people couldn't care less. G'head, let 'em fly. I should get my ass in gear and hit some of you with some inquisitions of my own.

I was actually expecting a barrage of questions. Maybe I expect too much? lol

Um you have 45 comments on your question thing. That's not enuff???

Only 14 questions. The rest is 'comment talking'.

-I like Western MD for a getaway. Deep Creek Lake is nice, though it's getting crowded. Ocean City was fun while I was in my 20s, but now it's overcrowded and expensive. Eastern Shore is nice still.

-I love the historical aspects of DC. Smithsonian, monuments, museums. The gay section is a lot of fun. I dont like the traffic, nor the crime. The latter two apply to Balty as well. I like the blue collar-ness of Baltimore. Unlike DC, Balty is much more working class, and that's part of it's charm.

-I grew up in Laurel.

-Something having to do with muscles. As usual.

-At work earlier in the week. A bunch of us were carrying on.

Glad your mom's surgery went well. She should see things clearer and colors better very soon. My mom had cataract surgery last month and commented on seeing colors much better - we had a spring bouquet delivered to the house.

Enjoying warmer, spring like weather up here as well. Hope it lasts for a while.. tired of winter.

Enjoy the weekend !

She just made a comment how much clearer things are for her at a distance. This only a couple days since the surgery. THat's encouraging.

Thanks for the kind words!

You need some hot guy of your choice to sprawl over the hood of your car in a suggestive pose at this event, like a butch gay version of the cover of Lowrider or a seedy garage-wall parts company calendar.

I will agree there. Problem is, there didnt seem to be that many to pick from at the last couple events. I guess I need to try different venues. ;)
