Morning Dean and Dave. Got to take a road trip this morning, so history and birthdays will be delayed until about noon.

Now where are you going?

Half an hour down the road to the current manufacturing facility.
Reviewing some sterilization records.  Just got back.

good morning Tony and Dave.

Morning Dean, got the bill from the outpatient surgery center yesterday (only for one eye and does not include the doctors bill), laughable as always with medical bills.

Procedure took 10 minutes and I was actually in the care facility for about 30 minutes.

Asking price was almost $10,000, total paid by insurance was a little under $3000 and my out of pocket was $100. 

WTF sense is there in sending $10k bills knowing they are only eligible to collect $3k has always been a total mystery to me.

Sounds like you've got some great insurance. I'm constantly paying out of pocket and my premiums are through the roof. I would need an incurable disease in order to make out on the deal. Lose/lose situation.

Sounds like you got the CommieCare you voted for.

I wish. CommieCare wouldn't cost me $22K/year for not covering anything.

You need to upgrade to ComradeCare. Better package choices. I'll send you a pamphlet.

Do I get a further discount if I make hacking this website easier?

Probably, all the cool comrades are doing it these days.

Today is Wednesday, July 11, the 192nd day of 2018. There are 173 days left in the year.
 Today’s Highlight in History:
 On July 11, 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, New Jersey. (Hamilton died the next day.)
 On this date:
 In 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Braintree, Massachusetts.
 In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band.
 In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the first time.
 In 1937, American composer and pianist George Gershwin died at a Los Angeles hospital of a brain tumor; he was 38.
 In 1952, the Republican National Convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Richard M. Nixon for vice president.
 In 1955, the U.S. Air Force Academy swore in its first class of cadets at its temporary quarters at Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado.
 In 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co.
 In 1972, the World Chess Championship opened as grandmasters Bobby Fischer of the United States and defending champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union began play in Reykjavik, Iceland. (Fischer won after 21 games.)
 In 1977, the Presidential Medal of Freedom was presented to polio vaccine pioneer Dr. Jonas Salk and (posthumously) to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. by President Jimmy Carter.
 In 1979, the abandoned U.S. space station Skylab made a spectacular return to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere and showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Australia.
 In 1991, a Nigeria Airways DC-8 carrying Muslim pilgrims crashed at the Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, international airport, killing all 261 people on board.
 In 1995, the U.N.-designated “safe haven” of Srebrenica (sreh-breh-NEET’-sah) in Bosnia-Herzegovina fell to Bosnian Serb forces, who then carried out the killings of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys. The United States normalized relations with Vietnam.

Ten years ago: Oil prices reached a record high of $147.27 a barrel. IndyMac Bank’s assets were seized by federal regulators. A North Korean soldier fatally shot a South Korean tourist at a northern mountain resort, further straining relations between the two Koreas. Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, the cardiovascular surgeon who pioneered such procedures as bypass surgery, died in Houston, Texas, at age 99.

 Five years ago: In a potential setback for George Zimmerman, the jury at the neighborhood watch captain’s second-degree murder trial in Sanford, Florida, was given the option of convicting him on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. (Zimmerman ended up being acquitted of all charges.) Tens of thousands of workers across Brazil walked off their jobs in a mostly peaceful nationwide strike, demanding better working conditions and improved public services in Latin America’s largest nation.

 One year ago: Emails released by Donald Trump Jr. revealed that he’d been told before meeting with a Russian attorney during the presidential campaign that the Russian government had information that could “incriminate” Hillary Clinton. MSNBC “Morning Joe” host and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough announced that he was leaving the Republican party, partly because of its loyalty to President Donald Trump. Seattle’s Robinson Cano homered off Cubs closer Wade Davis leading off the 10th inning and the American League beat the National League 2-1 in the All-Star game.

Morning boys, late start at work today, but was out of the door a 7:15 after getting a call at 7:12am.
youngest daughter has my old lexus IS250, and she called from the road, car is dinging at her, and dahboard has enough warning lights lit, to make it look like an Xmas tree.  she is in the should of route 20, up in Paterson, and she has to
get to the bus, that she is a chaperone for in Oakland, on it's way to girls scout camp.  told her I would swap cars with her, and hung up.  She calls back as i am getting into the car, how come you hung up.  Told her getting dressed and out into the car seemed a better idea, than just talking to her on the phone.  By 7:25 she was on her way again in my VW, and i took the Lexis, over to the place where I bought it. I got dropped off at home, by a service tech, and my wife starts yelling, when am I going to get that car fixed... Get to tell her it was already on it's way back to the service center.  previous problem, low tire pressure warning lights.

Good to get those costly and well trained technicians to add that volatile air to the tires...

Hell no, I didn't take it to lexus, brought it back to the used car dealer, I've dealt
with over the years.  It wasn't a low tire pressure alert, but the system that measures it that went
south this time, which caused two more lights to come on,and the bells ringing.  Plus the Check engine soon message.
