My vision is so goofy right now, I can't figure squat. Was just diagnosed diabetic almost two weeks ago. Stuff just started going so awry that I went to see the doctor. In about two weeks vision got so blurry that talking to a person five feet away was blurry. Vehicle pulled up next to me, could see the plate, not read the plate. They gave me a huge shot of insulin and when was driving home, vision got so clear could read the 1" lettering on mailboxes as was driving home. Could even read the little print on cans at the grocery store to see how much sugar and stuff is in them. But something happened over the weekend. Now stuff, print within 3' of me is blurry again, but anything beyond that is clear. One of my guages is the TV Guide on TV from across the room. Two weeks ago, I couldn't make out squat. But after that shot I can see it all clear still, even the tiny print. Up close though, reading glasses. Gosh will I be glad when I get back in for a full exam in a couple of weeks so at least I can get a handle on this stuff.
No more 1/2 dozen oranges, couple of gallons of gator or powerade, 1/2 dozen fruit cups per day for me. I should have done a better job of taking care of myself. But...at least its still Type 2, which means I might be able to work my way out of this. Well, at least my blood sugar has gone from 400 to 200 in two weeks on my way to a normal 70 - 110 taking those horse pills. And I don't have to pee a gallon once per hour 24x7 anymore. You don't get mch sleep when are waking up every hour on the hour to GO RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND, or else. Exercise and cut way down on sugar, and a couple of huge dill pickles a day. Good thing I love dill pickles.
Good luck with your vision. I've gotta take these reading glasses off. I don't want to get anymore dependent on anything than I am now.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
