Friday the 13th

[Chris]

So did Friday the 13th bring anyone trouble besides me?

Some sh!thead stole my $600 Garmin, the trackpad on my laptop is barely working and I had it confirmed that I have cataracts in both eyes.

All in all not a great day for me.

May the thief have his croch infested by the flees of a 1000
cammels, and his arms be to short to scrach!

The double posts were from a double thread count. I merged the threads but left dupe-posts.

Sorry to hear Chris, but tomorrow should be a "sweetheart of a day"! Best of luck.

[Brad]

Sorry Chris. I hate thieves.

The physical stuff can be replaced..
At what point is the cataracts ???

[Chris]

Yeah, I can replace the stuff but it costs a bunch of cash.

The cataracts are a normal part of aging and I've already scheduled surgery to get them fixed. I've got two surgeries and a bunch of preliminary apps all set. Scary to have someone messing with my eyes but there's a good chance I can come away without the need for glasses for the first time in my life which is kind of exciting. I expect to still need glasses after this but my vision should be better than ever afterwards in early March.

Sorry to hear Chris.....Thieves suck. On a positive note though,youll have good eyes again!

[Chris]

Thanks Rick, it would be nice to see clearly but not having my GPS to look at will tick me off every day!

[Jim]

What's the garmin model selling for on fleabay?

I have a III or III plus you can borrow.

[Chris]

Thanks Jim but apparently I almost caught the their because I found my GPS tossed in the back of the truck.

I'm quite careful with it (Garmin Montana) and I keep it in my door when it's not in use so I'm guessing someone saw me coming and tossed it while slamming the door. Strange but that's all I can guess - either that or I'm blinder than I realized!

I guess my day wasn't as bad as I thought!

Nice the GPS is in place (now if I could find my Garmin V - had to use the III+ today). It should be rolling around in my car (`hopes).

Trackpad - solved with a $10 mouse or a chassis replacement on the laptop (ebay time - I can do the swap if you wish).

Eyes - cha ching $$$$$$ good luck with them!

[Chris]

Mouse? How can I use a mouse sitting on the couch? Damn, life can be hard!

Cha ching is right, oh well you can't take it with you. It also means I get to delay hearing aids even longer. Better to see than hear!

You good with hardware? I have a MacBook Air, ever take one apart (and get it back together?)
