California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
The V. A. audiologist said my hearing has deteriorated since the last exam two-years ago, particularly in the right. Verbal word recognition in the right ear is 84% and 88% in the left, and overall hearing loss is borderline moderate/moderately severe. I knew my wife's mumbling had gotten worse, despite her refusals to admit it.
The latest technology aids will be mailed to her in about two-weeks, she'll get them dialed in then mail them to me. She'll follow up with a phone call, otherwise I'd have to wail till January for another face-to-face appointment.

Happy Birthday guys.
Ian,
I've always thought it was a mindset. I've always had to know what was around the next bend in the river, why something didn't work, or what the view was like from the next hilltop. Complete failure, for me, would be to end up the old guy in the wheelchair, that the nurses aid in the nursing home wheels up to the picture window, and has to wonder what was just around the bend in the river, or what the view was like from that next hilltop.

The lady audiologist asked, but I don't do video stuff, nor want to be able to do a Bluetooth-type connection between the aids and a smartphone, tablet, or television.

My wife is finally getting used to hers, been about a month now, I think. She took a while to figure out how to get the volume adjusted right, and used to them, but now it is old hat. Only problem now is she can hear what I am mumbling under my breath.

Likely so. I am well past my "Sell By" date, but remain in place because I'm too nasty and toxic to remove or even handle. Whatever it takes, I do it.

Orneryness is good for longevity. If I keep trying to fix hopeless Lyman bullet moulds I might live forever. Lapped one for the SECOND time tonight and it still casts .296" on the nose and .3065" on the bands 90⁰ from the parting line and .299x.309 just off either side of the parting seam, with a .279x.283" gas check shank. I was just trying to get it up to .299x.309 and round so I could powder coat it and clean it up in a .3095x.300" die. I improved it considerably from what it was (off-center blocks, cavities about 6 grains different weights, and a couple thousandths smaller than what I have now) but it's still not even close. I'm stuck between just pushing up some metal to spread the blocks evenly .003" or trying to lap it more. Risk of making it too big by the time I get the oval out vs big mould seams. Wasting more time or throw in the towel.
