    I learned what "DON" means. I've seen "DON" referenced at OF many times. I would say to myself, "Now what the heck does that mean? I'm surely not going to ask...for fear of being labeled a craptastic doofus." So I was over @Spacefruit's cool site www.speedmaster101.com and I see "DO90". Ummm...so what the heck does THAT mean??? Then it hit me..."DO90" = "dot over 90" and "DON" = "dot over ninety"...with reference to the Speedmaster's TACHYMETRE bezel...it has to be the Speedmaster because Spacefruit's site is Speedmaster specific.

    I am now mentally fatigued and will be retiring for the evening.

    Mad Dog out.

    :thumbsup:

    Cataract replacement only takes about 15 minutes, but the prep takes an hour plus.

    I learned a new insult! While I haven't researched the meaning on the Urban Dictionary, I gather it's not to be used as a compliment...

    I've learned that the smartest wife is the one who graciously allows her husband to labour under the delusion that he's smarter than she is.

    Now, you wanted me to do the dishes dear? Sure thing!

    Today I learned that it's fun to hang around the house in sweats with absolutely no agenda or plan. My wife says that I don't "do nothing" very well, and she's right - I'm always on the move (even when I'm sleeping according to her). I meandered around, cooked some random things, threw on the dishwasher, and might even watch some TV to help me with my sole item on the itinerary: an afternoon nap. ::yawn::

    Why yes, yes I did. :p

    No you don't. Every other day this week consists of an 11 hour shift dealing with customers and problems. :confused:

    We're not gonna have to call you Lefty, are we? :eek:
