I still use the 18-200. Hope you find one quickly. I used the 18-200 today! I've "heard" that an 18-135 is a faster, better focusing lens that would provide better pics paired with my 90D. I haven't pulled the trigger yet.....

Doctors who run late. 1/2 hour already. I know I won’t feel rushed when I get in there but it’s annoying. Didn’t have the option for an early appt.

I hate getting up early in the morning but I've found that the first appt in the morning has the least delay.
That is, unless the doctor had a surgery that ran long.

I always try for the first appointment. Well worth getting up for! Doc as about 45 minutes late.

My physiotherapist starts at 06:00 so it's always easy to get an appointment in before work. He's an amazing guy, in his 60s now and he throws me (210lb) around like a tennis ball.

I've been waiting two weeks for a replacement engine on my walk-behind leaf blower. Called today and shop didn't have a tracking number. WTF. Will check further. This is 2 days of droppings.

Update. Shop said they did not have any Honda engine's in the warehouse. So it could be a long time and very costly by comparison to using a Briggs. I am no fan of Briggs & Stratton but I told them to install one. The Briggs on my 4 year old Deere is already using oil; 1/4 qt per month.

^ I remember my Briggs & Stratton mower. It was going to cost more to repair than to get a replacement mower. I switched to EGO battery powered mower and never looked back.
