Great until a poke in the eye.

Yeah.  Got a shower in.  Having clean folded clothes right and ready is fantastic.  Then to check the bike rack.  I think it will  work but I will have to take off the front wheel.  I want to drive with it, to ensure it will not bang.  I don't want to be down the road on a virgin run with it, in a time crunch, and have to try to figure it out.  No!  I am fearful about messing with the tire as much trouble as I had with the breaks.  Hmm, then again, it's just the front tire.  I may not need to mess with it?  I'll know shortly.  I was running low on time so I just stowed everything for another time.

Into town.  I stopped at a hardware store and found most of my needs and wants.  Charcoal, wood chips of various sorts, apple, cherry, pecan, and hickory I believe.  I found a grate, but it is too large.  When he suggested the grate for a 22" grill, I think he meant the sub-grate.  They had that, at 17", but he said the 22" grate (or, so I believed).  I did keep the receipt, so no problem.  I meant to measure it, but lost track of time tinkering with the bike rack and never did do that.

I wanted to stop for a few other things.  I also didn't want to leave meat in the auto, or other groceries, and time was drawing too close for a haircut.  I assumed I would be able to get to those things after the eye exam.  So, finally, to the eye doc.  It all looks good.  He was impressed and pleased with some strange things, like some parts of my eyes being so perfectly round.  I am sure docs have their favorite... stats, traits?  I am not sure if my eyes have changed.  Since he is a new to me doc, he may not know either.  Then again, they did test the glasses I was wearing so they have some idea.  Forgot to ask.  I did ask about contacts.  For disposables he had daily and month.  Daily, for sure.  I don't have to worry about them being in a container and forgetting how long they have been in there, unused or used a few times.  Bleh, nasty.

He hooked me up with a sample.  And he checked to see if they aligned as designed.  They did.  And I could see fairly well in the office.  Due to the stuff he put in my eyes though, this and that, between dilation and something else, I can't see for squat right now.  Sunglasses helped, outside, a bit.  But it isn't great.  Yeah, you will have to pardon me for no editing.  I can't even see what I am writing, not well or easily.

As such, and being 100 in town on top of the general rush, I had to call the rest of my trip off.  I'll get back to town perhaps in a few days.  I need meats to try out.  I never did track down dry ice in Logan, on the internet.  I did try though.  I'll probably just call around to the most likely places.  Sometimes even ice cream shops carry it.

All in all, though, I am pleased with the day.  I just wish my eyes would return to focus.  I still have the contacts in.  Maybe they aren't letting my eyes return to normal?  Whatever...  I'll just take them out, I guess, and see what else I can do.  Gaming is out, working with anything small is out, reading is out.  I hate this.  Later.

Hmm, yeah... contacts out, glasses on... I can mostly read.  To painful still to try to edit so...
