Yesterday I bought this trailer to use as a place to stay 2 days a week for work. Got a list as long as my arm on things that need to be done and here I am smoking a cigar, which is not on the list

my antique swivel office chair exploded last night, the bold holding the two heavy springs that allow it to rock back broke due to metal fatigue. Spent the morning threading and making a hooked head replacement out of 3/8" steel rod. Looks like one of these, they don't make them like they used to:
My cardiologist thinks my level of fatigue is atypical and warranted a stress test, which happened today... 2hrs total. One aspect of being a hamster on the spinning wheel of medicine is learning stuff, and now I know (roughly) how a stress test works. They put a radioactive dye in you via an IV and put you in a scanner that 'sees' your blood vessels around the heart, and that's recorded. But before they do that, they give you a granola bar and some water because if there's any of the goop in your bowel's upper section it's close to the heart and will prevent good pictures. Then they either get you on a treadmill, or inject some other stuff that makes your heart think it's working so that the blood vessels get dilated; that's the whole point of the stress of the exercise, to dilate your blood vessels, and also why you can't have caffeine going into it, because caffeine is a vaso-constrictor. So, the bottom line is, if you have any blockages your arteries get poofy at that spot, and if there are any points that the blood vessels are the same poofiness after exercise as they were before, they know there's a blockage. Great fun!

I can bite a spider and it turns into a human.
Other than that... I had 5 coffee samples to work through/review today. Having wrapped that up and consumed 5-6oz. of each, I feel like a young man again. Well, 50 maybe, but that's pretty young, isn't it?
Hoping for the best here too, Peter. I'm thinking I should go in and put some sweat pants on and pull a shot of espresso to feel like a younger man myself.

Dealing with a flooded storage unit for my mother who is in the hospital. Fun times.
Hope things get better ASAP....

Unfortunate about your chair, Edward. However, congrats on what sounds like a sturdy repair job.

I'll bring an update when I hear from my doc.
Hoping for the best.

Yeah, I'm not ready to get sawn open and stitched back together again again.
I feel you

I just heard all your veins slamming shut

By the time I got my pants on and got my espresso machine out, I had a customer waiting for an Americano.
I have been on hold with my wireless service provider for 35 minutes...

I've been unsubscribing from tobacco retailers lately to help with my buying freeze.
Good luck with that...I never get anything unsubscribed.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
I wish you the best with your endeavor.

I’m sure we’ll all do our best to help you remain on said buying freeze 😂
Yeah, I heard from Peter that the original Espinosa Laranja cigars are back, that's not going to help.
Spent an enjoyable hour browsing this site:

That's fantastic, thanks for sharing Edward. Takes me back to my children's books as a kid featuring fire trucks, steam shovels, etc.
