So our buyer for the Satellite picked her up today. It was bittersweet for both Marla and I. For me because I had wanted to fix it up to have a nice cruiser and for Marla since it was the last link to her youth.
I did finally get to drive it yesterday. For a car that hasn't been driving since 1993 it really didn't seem that way. No doubt the motor would be a lot more peppy with a good refresh, but it was still plenty torquey when I gave the gas some blips.
Either way now, the car is not in our possession anymore and we have enough money to sod next spring and do some other stuff around the house.
On another topic, funny thing about my glasses. I went to get my eyes tested a few weeks back and the eye doctor told me that the prescription I currently had was going to change quite a bit. So I say ok and go and buy some new glasses. When I got them I could barely see. Everything that wasn't a foot or closer to me was nothing but a blur. I gave them a few days since it was a different prescription, but nothing changed. I went back to Lenscrafters where I had purchased them and they checked them and said they were to the requirements specified by the doctor.
So it was back to the doctor... who of course was on a two week vacation. Finally got to see him this past tuesday and he was befuddled. He tested each eye and for each eye it was the prescription he gave me. However, my binocular vision with the prescription was no good. He did some more testing and found out that while with each individual eye the prescription he had given was in fact better, my currently prescription was actually better when I use both eyes.
Considering I typically use both eyes at the same time, he figured it was best to use my current prescription. I agreed with him. My currently prescription actually gives me better than 20/15 vision when I use both eyes, but each eye by itself is only 20/20. Weird.
