I got my hearing aids from Costco a yr and a half ago, it was the best deal by far that I found.

Good afternoon

Back from the dentist, if I had any overbite its gone, LOL. Picked my auction winnings,



$5. like I can say no
picked up the prescription for antibiotics and T3s that the dentist gave me and got home in time to watch it get cold tonight. Got some pictures of those birds that were around 2 weeks ago, while warming up the truck I probably saw a half dozen or so of them, noisy little suckers.

My employer pays 100% for my hearing aids......me.
Sweet auction find, I like that cabinet Perry. Is that from your cell phone camera? Awesome pictures.
What kind of birds are those?
A hearing horn would likely be the most trouble free one.

Thanks John. I like watching woodpeckers at my suet feeder outside our living room window. The bigger ones are the most interesting.

Thanks John, these things reappeared a few days ago and now they're all over the place, I swear that I heard a Morning Dove yesterday as I went to the mailbox, can't imagine an Owl in the city. This area is a bird friendly area it appears, time for a feeder, the cats were having a fit with the birds in the tree.

This was taken with my A5 Samsung phone set at 3 times zoom as the birds were to well blended into the tree to really see them at regular focus.

I'm going to measure my headboard to see if the cabinet will fit, may only have to trim the crown molding on the sides and the molding on the bottom sides. I've got one of those big assed headboards with the armiores and bridge board, another auction score from years ago.

Had to get stitches where the eye teeth were and its still seeping blood from the holes, beginning to become a pita.

Those are great pictures from a phone, a lot better than my I-phone 5.
Thank goodness I`m not a bleeder, it sounds like a nasty for you Perry.

I'm not normally a bleeder but he had a good fight with the eye teeth. I had been told that sometimes they are a tough pull and a good reason for surgical removal.

I had a surgical removal on two of my lower molars, not a lot of bleeding afterwards but I had bone, tooth chips coming for almost a yr. They did finally heal up nicely tho.

Most of the auction scores come in the last third of the show, if you see 2 or 3 lots of the same item, run up the price on the first lot and make sure the other lots aren't garbage. The doors I got for $5 are 2" thick and they have an arborite style finish , 60 pounds each at least. I pick up weird stuff also like a brand new Pilates step for $5, its a bunch of powder coated round tube that will wind up as grill bars on the 48.
