Cataract Surgeon in DFW Area

Oh, perhaps @DownhillFromHere meant “monofocal”, or single focal length lenses? Monovision isn’t a lens, per se, but is a surgical, uh, technique(?) where two monofocal lenses are put in (one in each eye), just like in a regular surgery.

(Sorry, going to repeat myself here)
But one is set for distance and one is for close-up. 25% of people have brains that can smash those images together. I don’t need cheaters for 99% of my regular life.
To clarify my situation: I selected my IOL lenses for distance vision. I definitely did NOT want one lens for distance and one for close-up. I was still competing in NSSA skeet at the time and I definitely wanted my depth perception intact.

7mm PRC

As a follow up question - who has found an acceptable powder in LRT, Magnum, Retumbo, etc. my bbl doesnt love h1000, and it could be 2 years before i find another keg of rl26 (which i burn in my 6.5prc as well)

anyone?
I've had good luck with Ramshot Grand, velocities up there with RL-26, temp stable and available. Staball HD was ok, but didn't really live up to the billing for me, unlike Grand.

Accessories IP/Lora Mesh/ATAK/Off-grid encrypted comms device

It is an awesome project! Great designs and functionality I was looking for :)

I am also experimenting with meshtastic (on a modified lilygo t-echo device) + ATAK and for messaging it works great. However I went a way to integrate it also with samsung phone. I was also thinking about adding additional module for 2,4/5GHz mesh networks to achieve the transfer of photos and voice and eventually be able to receive video stream from drone. Are you able to share what hardware and software you used for 5ghz mesh network (apart from mikrotik module)? (equivalent of meshtastic that will create the mesh network forwarding through hops and working with multicast in ATAK)

I'm also thinking about adding some kind of SDR device to be able to receive everything :) Bidirectional SDR would be the best, but it would make the project much more difficult and expensive and I haven't found reasonably priced and high power SDR's.

Again, great achievement!

I'm able to share the previous hardware for your application, you can send me a message. But I cannot share hardware details on the upcoming high bandwidth IP Mesh MANET and Radio Module. I won't be going with the Mikrotik module due to inefficient waveform.

High end, military grade SDR modules run an additional ~$800. Which price out folks looking for an affordable option. I'm brainstorming an attachable micro external option that can possibly input SDR capability into the mesh. It'll have to be later down the roadmap. Just know off the shelf SDRs primarily have low transmit power 10db.

I recently put up a website with resources pertaining to this type of stuff. MorosX.com

I'll have my IP mesh MANET version wrapped up quickly. I pushed the release date to June 2025 due to the promise of fulfilling prior commitments.

I have had the Lora version listed here on SH available (earlier in this post) which will be upgradable by summer.

Their 490 Mesh LoRa unit only. +50 for L3 PRC 153 and +50 for Harris Charger.

The new release for meshtastic plugin for ATAK now has voice capabilities with their codec 2 development.

Finish/stain for reloading bench ?

Hey guys , I moved a few years ago (to the humid south) and finally am getting around to building a new reloading/ work bench.

I have gotten a butcher block to be the top of my bench, but I'm not sure what I should finish or seal it with ? The block is unfinished so I will sand it and want to seal it with something that will withstand the humid climate.

Any ideas on what works best ?
