Was that the Sebring convertible? LOL

Thanks, all! I’ll be fine. Going for 2nd opinion this afternoon. I do trust the Doc I saw last week. Just want to be certain of the diagnosis this time. If they agree, I’m guessing surgery tomorrow?

Again, appreciate the thoughts.

‘21 TLX....didn’t mean to whizz on anyone else’s opinion. I’m as big of an Acura fan as they come. The touchpad didn’t bother me. Actually, for touchpads, I thought it was pretty innovative and not all the hard to figure out. The car felt heavy. It needs more ooomph.

Maybe I’m just used to my car.

BTW...weird trying to type with one eye closed.

It is heavy. Also big. Size and weight of a 5 series. Too big for my needs and tastes now.

I am not sure if the BMW has temp limits on the tops operation. The Sebring had a down limit of 30 degrees and an up limit of zero.

My limit for zero degrees is not to be in the car. When I was younger the temps never bothered me but I don’t like the cold anymore. I’m not talking about my joints, fortunately they still work, but I just don’t like the cold anymore. I’m the perfect candidate for being a snow bird but I never seized the opportunity.

If you don't "seize" the opportunity now to become a snowbird, you'll end up having "seizures" from the cold winters and snow in Pittsburgh! Make "hay when the Florida sun shines" jmonroe! 🤓😜🤪

GG, good luck with the upcoming procedure. I had my cataract surgery back 7 years ago today. I was myopic before, read out of my left eye and saw distance out of my right. Had to wear glasses to drive and hated it. Surgery went well but needed reading glasses afterwards. Not happy about that. They had to tweak it again about 4 years ago. Then I had a floater in that left eye. Saw the retina guy and luckily, no surgery needed but we're keeping a close eye on it.
Still hate wearing the readers but, if that's the worst of it, so be it! I know G-d will watch over you and things will turn out great!!

abacomike

GG - as you know, I had my right eye done in December and the left eye done in March. I opted for laser which cost me $1675 per eye as opposed to surgeon using a scalpel.

I used to be nearsighted my whole life. Now I am farsighted and need glasses only for reading. So I had a pair of progressive glasses made that have a very slight correction (astigmatism) for distance and as my eyes travel down the lenses, heavy correction (3.0) for reading.

What's nice is that I don't have to have prescription sun glasses - I have a pair of Oakley's that I wear when driving. If you have any questions, send me a private message and with your phone number and I'll call you.

roadburner

I have lens implants in both eyes. At the time I got them they weren’t able to correct vision as precisely as modern implants. I have to wear glasses 99% of the time.

tjc78

I’ve been so nearsighted my entire life I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to not need contacts or glasses.

I asked about lasik many years ago and they couldn’t guarantee me 20/20 so I passed. Right now my contacts are -8.5 and I have astigmatism as well.

stickguy

I have an astigmatism too (and some other oddities in one eye) so wear glasses. Tried contacts a few times but just could not make them work. I did ask once about lasik, and the optometrist just said nope. So will just wear glasses forever!

my son had his done a couple years back, and still has 20/15 vision and does not need glasses at all. Lucky kid!

No one has a worse excuse than me for not being a snowbird. My Delray Beach SIL is tired of asking us to come down for the Winter and stay with her. She has a pretty big house so that really wouldn’t be too much of an imposition. We even had a standing offer before my middle brother died in January of 2013. I keep telling Mrs. j that we should do it for at least a month just to be nice but she says if we ever do it we have to get an apartment like real snowbirds do it. Every time I decide to look into that, something comes up and then I forget and then it’s too late. When Mrs. j complains about that to my SIL my SIL says, “my offer still stands” and then we’re back to square one again.

Hey, my Parents-in-Law just traded in their Spark. I know my father-in-law liked the Stinger, but he said it was pricey at central valley dealerships. He ended up getting that new "K5" which I think replaces the Optima? Kia did a bad job marketing it as I barely heard about this "new" model.

Here is a second hand car buying story, One of my coworkers was car buying a while back and was in negotiations and he decided that it wasn't going his way so he decided to use the buyers most powerful weapon and leave. Well they told him that they couldn't find the keys to his trade in so it might be a while before they could get them to him. His response was "That's OK I have the second set, call me when you find them".

That's a very old trick. When that Indiana Ford jacked us around on the Mustang GT I liked they parked my trade out of sight after they appraised it.

I had an Infiniti dealer try to pull that one on me about 20 years ago. We almost got into a fist fight. I think he might have been drunk.

The SM at the Ford store tried that as a joke (I think) but he could see I wasn’t amused and handed them right over.

I put the Miata top down whenever it was IIRC 42 or above. I think the was the temp limit for putting the top down without damaging it. Windows up, put the heat on set to floor, nice and toasty!

I also open the moonroof in the winter quite often. Same deal but add heated seats.

You guys are braver than me. I think the coldest I’ve ever had the top down was 60 but I won’t put up the windows as that feels like cheating. Turning the heat on does help.

I really don't understand driving with the top down and the windows up. It's like driving a fishbowl.

I have had the top down in the low to mid 40's.

I was curious so I checked out a KIA K5. It sounds like a dog but it sure looks nice:

stickguy

I watched quite a few tests on the K5. Overall got a lot of good reviews. And they still haven't released the hot rod 290 HP version.

sda

I like the K5 from what I’ve read. Looks like you can get a very nicely equipped version with pano roof for less than $30k.

sda

I’m surprised still no word on the updated 2021 Accord. The 2020 local inventory is thin, primarily LX trim.

sda

Oh the joys of car ownership, especially as they age. Having just spent $$ on the TL recently to repair the evap system, today it wouldn’t start when my daughter needed to drive it to her only in person class (anatomy) at the college she’s attending. Her car was blocking mine but I was able to roll hers backward to get the Accord out so she could drive it. I drove the TL yesterday and it was fine. I jumped started it this evening, the battery failed. I am thankful it failed in the driveway and not on some cold and rainy day or stranded my daughter some where. Should be set for winter. Minor but annoying stuff.

I don’t know where that picture of the K5 interior came from but it must be a high level trim. I drove one today with only 1000 miles on the clock and it had an interior as cheap as can be. Black plastic and cloth.

stickguy

you drive base rental car spec. so that makes sense. The higher line models upgrade the interior quite a bit. That picture is a GT line, based on the flat bottom steering wheel.

The company doesn’t always buy bottom line trim but this one certainly was. I should have looked for a trim badge. It did perform well. In sport mode it moved out well. If that picture is the GT trim it hasn’t even come out yet has it?

Looking up specs, the car I drove must have had the turbo 1.6 with 180hp. That’s detuned from the same engine in the Soul that gave you 201hp.

I went to drive the cargo van which has been sitting awhile and it almost didn’t start because of a weak battery. No idea how old it is but it came with the van in 2016. I sprayed some electrical cleaner on the terminals and it’s been starting fine. I’ll have “the guy” test it next week when I get it inspected.

At least it gave me a warning, most modern batteries just die unexpectedly.

The only time our 2011 Pilot ever died was in our driveway. At 101K miles, the alternator gave up the ghost. We had it towed to a local place to have it replaced. I got a 2 for 1 from AAA that day. The tow truck driver said I had to follow him to drop the Pilot off. I hopped in my Prelude and that was dead too. It needed a jump.

imidazol97

I wonder how many times that happens for an AAA rescue guy? LOL

Well....everything confirmed. Detached retina (for the 2nd time). Dr couldn’t explain it, but in a round about way said the “original surgery missed a tear” in the retina. So, here we are 3 years later, and WOSRSE FOR THE WEAR!

Surgery at noon. Son is taking me. I guess they’re actually sedating me for this. Then, the drill...recovery....no sleeping on my back. Have to have my head down except for 15 minutes per hour while I’m awake for a couple of weeks. No driving for 2 weeks...blah...blah....blah!

Don’t mind saying I’m a little POd about how the first surgeon botched the first detached retina surgery. On top of that, he was the Chair of the Ophthalmology Dept at University of Cincinnati Medical School. Just because you can teach, doesn’t mean you can do.

Will see how this goes. Apparently, with the first retinal detachment traumatizing the eye and little in the way of material left to reattach the retina, it’s going to be dicey.

I’m sure I will be fine. Just a little nervous this time around as the surgeon sure didn’t sugar coat it....there are significant risks.

Again everyone, thanks! Appreciate the concern.

The roofers are coming tomorrow. A year after signing the contract. They said last September that they wouldn't be able to do it until May of this year. The virus messed that up. BUT...

I want to get a leaf guard system installed, or new gutters with some kind of clogging protection system. We have a lot of broad leaf trees and some evergreens. I know a few are full since I didn't bother cleaning them since we were getting a new roof and would address it then. That plan didn't work out so well.

Researching the internet on this subject (as many others) is just mind boggling.

Has anyone gone through this recently that can save me some work?

I picked a company that used a sieve type protection from the maple blossoms, maple helicopter seeds, needles from neighbor's pine tree, and leaves. It is not a flat cover with holes. Instead it is wavy. I've never caught it not being able to handle the rain water at high volume.

Friends of ours have the surface tension type of cover and water in medium rains overshoots and goes directly to the ground.

This product is lower in the gutter than some other installation types, so it can't be seen from the road. But leaves and stuff dry up and then blow away and out of the gutter.

GG - so sorry to hear that you again have to deal with a detached retina. I will be praying for you and for a speedy, positive recovery. Just know we are all here pulling for you.

One thing I have learned after going through two cataract surgeries in the past 8 months - being able to see well, especially at my age, is a true gift. My Dad had macular degeneration in both his eyes and was almost totally blind at the end of his life. I took him for those injections into his eye to clear up the macular, but it didn't work out for him. I pray my eyes are in great shape until the day I die. Sight, hearing, and the senses of smell and taste are essential.

Good luck, GG!
