The lenses are covered by my insurance, so I'm ok with the total cost. I've been wearing Serengetis since the '80s. Great sunglasses. My every day pair is also Serengeti, with trifocals.

I know these aren't the coolest glasses BUT they are safety glasses, impact rated, AND 1.5-2.5 diopter. I buy these 3x at a time when I lose them because...look at the price.

Thanks. I'll have to check my prescription and see if these will work for me for working around the yard or whatever.

Oh wait, so these just have one lens that's corrective, right? The main lens is just normal and the smaller lens is the corrective one?

I had my cataract surgeries done at Pacific Eye Institute by a very well known doctor in my area. She is great. Your eye surgeon can make all the difference. I still see her every year.

And yes, this belongs in the "You know you're old when…" thread.

If I didn't wear a floppy hat and sunscreen when I play golf I'd look like that in a week. LOL

Bought second-row tickets and went to Cirque du Soleil's Kooza today in Denver.

Outstanding show-- Wife and I really, really enjoyed it. If it's in town and you're around-- highly recommended that you go.

Not 60 yet but waaaayy past 40 and my vision is fantastic except for some fine print. It depends a lot on the colours involved. Black on white is ok but I really struggle with anything on a blue background. And I'd like to ask the idiot designer whatever made them think that white print on a light gray background was a good idea.

I will be 53 later this month. My vision is for all intensive purposes, fantastic. Especially far.
the close up fine print difficulty reading happens to us all as we age. Especially beyond 45. Aging definitely presents many challenges.

Taylor Swift tickets at Mile-High yesterday, along with ~73,000 people.

Had seats in the first row off the floor, center of the stage assembly.

Tickets were going for $3200 p/p + fees, but I got them for about $300 p/p + fees due to the fact that my sister-in-law is one of the dancers (she's the one in green in the picture).

The show was **outstanding**-- highly recommended if you have the opportunity.

I think my wife, myself and another couple are going to go to Paris to see the show there (although Stockholm is an option as well)-- my SiL is going to do the World Tour with TS and she said she could get us tickets to any show in the world.

Fix your brothers up? Especially interested in tickets to SIL

Sorry-- it was a one-off.

It turned out that we could have gotten eight tickets, but we didn't know that at the time. Once you purchased your tickets (we just got two), you're locked out of the website and all done-- you can't go back.

I had a fair number of buddies (and my wife's boss) sort of irked on that one, but

Additionally, my SIL had to put in the request at the beginning of the tour for what city/date you wanted tickets.

It was actually a trade of gear and I received a like new Profoto 7B with two flash heads. It's just one more tool to create images with.

Esteban · 07-17-2023, 01:42 PM

Had a new electrical panel installed the other weekend. Old one was getting fried. 200 amps for future possible expansion. Maybe solar panels at some point.

Solar panels for the win!

Vinnrox250 · 07-17-2023, 05:44 PM

It only took 58 days; and then making one incorrect and having to fix it, but these are finally here!

Quality and fit and finish seem amazing, but the communication can definitely use some improvement.
