Seeing clearer
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.
