Noodle, OFR, Eye etc.

I finally brought Noodle to the beauty parlor. I brought her back to my old place. She seems to be allergic to different shampoos. She ends up scratching for a month. The Doggy Boutique uses a shampoo for sensitive skin. They did a great job on her.
Bob and his buddies from the Old Fart Riders meet for breakfast at Sam's restaurant on Thursdays. They had mugs made with the OFR logo on them. They asked the restaurant if they could bring in their mugs and hang them up on a shelf so that they could use them every week. I thought it was the most studpid thing I ever heard. You would think this was a private club. Give me a break. Anyway. the members asked Bob to make a rack to hang up the mugs. Here is the OFR logo that sits on top of the mug shelf. Whatever floats your boat (or your mugs.). It came out really nice.
The last thing on my list of tidbits is the ongoing story about my eye. My vision in my right eye was getting worse. It was very cloudy and everything was distorted. Scare tissue was forming on the retina where it was lasered.and it was tugging on it. So this operation was to remove the scare tissue.and also I had to have a cataract removed. I have another gas bubble in my eye so I have to keep my head and eyes down for the next week or so. I even rented a special chair which helps you sit in the proper position. I won't know for a few weeks or even more if the distortion is gone. I can only hope. Oh well, so long for now. I'm heading back to my chair.

A couple tidbits

I made the most delicious dinner last night. It was a recipe for Sesame beef. We devoured it. I meant to take a few pictues while I was making it but as usual I forgot. Here are the leftovers.

One day while making breakfast I accidently hit the frying pan on the stove. It fell. Even though I'm old,  my  supersonic fast reactions set in. I caught the pan by the handle before it hit the hardwood floor. Even though it burnt the skin right off my hand and left an image of a heart on it, I never would have heard the end of it. Quote "Well another dent in the floor".
