Sorry to be so late with my September total. 30/24 . Thats 3 full months in a row I think.
Late last month I had a cataract removal.and now have two fixed distance lense,cant see a bat anything close by. Doing this on my laptop,zooming on full and though I can type I cant really see what is on the page .All done by guess and by god.Using a phone for texts is impossible cant make out a thing. Eye test the 17th,so hopefully by next month I will be able to see this. lol
But will post my usual 24 AFDs for October.
