I went to have my eyes examined today. The eye doctor said that my left eye is actually gaining instead of loosing power. I was getting ready to find out about changing the lenses in my long distance glasses. The lenses are about two years old now, and ready to be replaced.

I brought up the subject of contact lenses. For years I was under the impression I was not suited for contact lenses, because I have astigmatism. Luckily my eye doctor said I can wear the new extended wear contact lenses. He did some measurements, etc and fitted me with a pair this afternoon. I wore them for about three hours. Over the next week, I will keep wearing them for two hours longer every day. I am to return in seven days for a checkup and by then I will be wearing the lenses full time.

I took my Suzuki Volusia in for the 11,000 mile service before the Fourth of July holiday. The service dept. at Saugus Suzuki was quite busy over the holiday weekend and they weren't able to get to my bike until today. I should have just kept the bike for the holiday weekend and brought it in today. The bike is running like a top. She never given me one bit of trouble from the day I brought her home.
