Had a former business partner who popped for Lasik, did it with one of the best 
guys around, and one of his eyes was bad, in that the surgery did not cure his 
eyesight or correct his astigmatism. Made him legally blind.

With Lasik, they won’t go back in and make corrections until your eyesight is 
stable for at least 30 days. Since you have to wait for everything to heal, he 
was unable to drive or work for some time. To be honest, I don’t know if it 
ever got corrected because I got bought out before it was over. 

That turned me off of Lasik right away.

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I must confess, being a pilot, I ask the Dr. more in depth questions than
any patient he ever had.
He got the work because he carefully answered each and every one of them,
then sent me to read medical eye information to back it up.
To say, "I was deeply concerned" is mild... Being blessed with outstanding
vision for decades [tested at 20/10 on a number of flight physicals for
years] I wanted to "Do it right".

There was an insurance coverage battle, in my case, because I wanted only
the deluxe of lens, laser cataract removal, etc etc... after much back and
forth... I invited the insurance to pound sand and spent $8,000 total for
both eyes... ouch... but good desired result.. and, yes, I'm sure I got
stuck with the full boat, no discount service but.. the nurse was extra
nice ;))

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Never understood the one eye for near, one eye for far stuff with Lasik, 
either. It would seem like that would really mess you up.

Had a former business partner who popped for Lasik, did it with one of the best 
guys around, and one of his eyes was bad, in that the surgery did not cure his 
eyesight or correct his astigmatism. Made him legally blind.

With Lasik, they won’t go back in and make corrections until your eyesight is 
stable for at least 30 days. Since you have to wait for everything to heal, he 
was unable to drive or work for some time. To be honest, I don’t know if it 
ever got corrected because I got bought out before it was over. 

That turned me off of Lasik right away.

Re: [MBZ] Need an airplane?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Yes... Sing Sing Prison...
It is a Federal Crime to falsify log books or component records and,,
the FAA prosecutes with vengeance .
Do not go there, ever.. is the message on aircraft.. if you don't go to
jail, at minimum, your repairman license will be revoked, and you will pay
huge fines. ie.. you will never work in aviation again... any action
against you becomes part of permanent record at FAA... so you will never be
"forgotten"...

As Walter Beech used to say, each year the new models were revealed.. "Come
to the Airport and bring money, the new Beechcraft are here."

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Sounds good! I still don't understand how one implanted lens can correct
for both far and near vision - will have to dig deeper. I was never
interested in the one eye for one, the other for the other idea - gives me
a headache just thinking about it.

I like your choice, just don't understand how it works (the old manual
focus photographer in me want's to understand the optics of it).

I did look that up, it was for cars after mine, but that could be what 
it is.  If it gets worse I'll have to look into it more.  I need to 
check the fluids too, probably just do a fluid/filter change anyway,

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Both eyes are corrected with implant lens for both near and far vision, as
well as individual correction for astigmatism [according to my eye surgeon,
everyone has astigmatism, how much is individual].

FAA will not approve you for flight physical if you have one eye corrected
for near vision and one eye for far vision, so your choice would likely b
same as mine..
After years of Arizona sun, UV light at altitude, and welding... cataracts
were "well developed" and I am now amazed at how bright everything is... my
first purchase was a really good set of sunglasses. ha..
Because I went for the full boat ride, it wasn't cheap. But, IMHO, worth
it.

If you wish to see the procedure being done... call it up on a youtube
search... several video are available to view.  Procedure takes about 20
minutes... 3 days for the eye to clear up as the meds and lubrication
clears... then, vision becomes more intense by the day Dr. only does
one eye at a time... with 2 wks to a month between, so you have time to do
the necessary brain adjustment to get used to seeing clearly.
The Dr. I chose has been doing it for 28 years, so he has done thousands of
eyes.  Staff have all worked with him for years, so they made everything go
smoothly... all in all, successful experience.

Re: [MBZ] Pretty '06 4-matic wagon on BAT

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

Yes there was MB recall on the transfer case. Check vin with stealer or
online. My 211-E320 4matic wasn't covered  for some odd reason but started
to do that. (Like the early 4WD Subarus) one dealer said replace case for 3
K. The good dealer in CT put in new bearing  & fluid for 300.00.  Important
to do figure 8's with new fluid to disperse throughout case.
Now with 183k miles no shudder &smooth turns. I love the 4matic.

The big commercial Mitsubishi is clever enough to use the heat
from cooling one room to warm another.  Can't do that with
separate systems - but maybe the residential won't do that anyway.

And I'll admit there may be less need.  A theater building with a
room full of light dimmers and amps gets warm enough to need
cooling even when other rooms might want heat.  Less likely to
happen in a house, I would think.  Although, the south rooms with
lots of sun could be "cooled" to warm other rooms...

Re: [MBZ] Pretty '06 4-matic wagon on BAT

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

A full-time (AWD) vehicle should not have any binding on turns.

On-demand 4WD often does, and that's why it should only be used on loose
or slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, sand, gravel, etc.

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[OK Don via Mercedes]

OK - cataract surgery is in my near future, but haven't done the research
into the options yet. Are you saying that the implanted lenses are like bi
or tri focals? Or do you have one eye for far and one for close?
How do your lenses work?

Re: [MBZ] Need an airplane?

Years ago, during the coke era... there were hundreds of seized aircraft
that were "single use and dump" on the government auction sales site, if
you knew were to look and bid.

Over those years, I bought, repaired, and sold half dozen of them... Major
issue with them was always log books and documenting condition of life
cycles and hour limit items... it always cost more for the log
reconstruction than it did for the aircraft...

Re: [MBZ] Progressive lenses.

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Personal viewpoint on progressive lens.
I tried them, with careful fitting by skilled eye specialist, and then went
through 3 different sets of glasses, trying to get a fit I could live with.
Total failure. Because of the lack of definition between near and mid and
far they were a personal danger.
Working with precision machinery was a disaster. Rather than being able to
shift eye position to adjust for distance, it required continual head
reposition in a "hunt and peck" system of trying to find usable
magnification
The interim fix was to switch to lined bifocals, with desired focal length
set to my useful length. That provided a nice crisp shift horizon between
near and far magnification that "progressive lens" never gave..
Also, the focal area of the lined bifocals was much wider which gave side
vision improvements.

In December, last year, had cataract removal, both eyes, and fitted lens
implants which corrected far and near vision, as well as astigmatism. After
about 2 weeks, I now do not need to wear glasses at all... total success...
although not cheap... I now have 20/20 in each eye and my wallet is much
lighter.

4WD trucks in my life seem to do that, but I've always wondered if that wasn't 
just
the difference between U-joints up front (trucks) vs CV joints (AWD cars).

Re: [MBZ] Mini splits

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Ours is wall mounted so we don't have to take it out and put it back but I do 
put a quilted cover on it over the winter.I'd also like to have the minisplit 
for heat during the shoulder seasons when I don't really want to turn the 
furnace on but we'd like to warm up the house.

 At some point I plan to put one here to replace our wall mount AC unit. I had 
kind of planned to do it this year but with no pay increase and 6 weeks of 
furlough all extra spending is on hold.
On furlough next week, doing brakes and some rust repair on the pickup. It had 
been scheduled to get replaced this fall, instead its getting some fixin and 
new tires. Should be able to run it a couple more years easy.

Do you find that your 4M kinda feels like the wheels are jumpIng around a bit 
when doing right turns?  Like the diffs aren’t slipping enough. I’ve felt that 
on my 4WD trucks
