Cool and grey in MI.  Bench time?

Been dealing this morning with a "suprise" $1400 bill from the surgical center that did the Doll's cataract surgeries months ago.  She spent time on the phone and I guess it's owed but the billing was totally without explanation. 

TomO, be nice to go "Trolling"  Big Mac needs one...

Another nice scene, Rick. 

Karl, my cataract surgery was fully covered by Medicare, EXCEPT for the cost of the astigmatism correction on the lenses ($2k for one eye.)  That was made very clear to me before the surgery.  If you're getting an unexpected bill, something is -terribly wrong- and the office owes you a full explanation.  DO NOT accept this.

Tom, best luck for today.  Same for Terry.  

I'm back from my last physical therapy session for the hip.  We agreed it would be good to get a monthly massage, "Diabetic muscles tend to stiffen up in some people."  I'll head down to the train room in a bit, try some more paint colors on my testbed, and work on a second little (resin casting) gondola kit produced by the late Craig Bisgeier.  These are fun, they go together quickly.

Good morning folks,

Happy Veterans Day.  Thank you for your service.

TomACL, thanks for opening.  Wishing you all the best with your surgery.

Larry, thanks for the coffee and snacks.  Congratulations on the back porch work.

Curt, thanks for breakfast.  Hope your medical work does the trick this time.  Enjoy the show.

TomO, if the wife isn't happy, nobody is happy.  

Rick, good luck with evacuating the water lines.  Enjoy the time with Star.

Gregory, howdy.

Jeff, howdy.

Ron, good luck with the post.  It sounds most frustrating.

Karl, yikes!

Jerry, good luck with tomorrow's test.

Dave, hope your hip therapy sessions helped.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a bright day, headed to 74F.  The cold weather is creeping down from the north.  Yikes! I finished the shed porch and will post some photos later.

Have fun,
mike
