Sitting in a hospital lining up on a colonoscopy. Yay.

Not fun, but very important.
Third night of staying up all night and getting 3 hours of sleep this morning.
supervised a DEPT, three clinics, and a section.
Our daughter took us out to a Mexican restaurant and bought us dinner. 
Sitting in recovery now. Procedure went well. Now feeding and drinking

I am so lucky I come out of anaesthetics cleanly.

So is "liking" this post with a thumbs up appropriate or ironic?
As long as it’s only a thumb and not 20 foot of garden hose…
Just wandered around a few ruins yesterday with the family. We'll go see some more today in Tulum. 
There’s a line, like at a store… must be fun if it’s so popular
I was number thirteen in the procession.

Hopefully they cleaned the camera in-between "customers".

Got rear-ended on the way back to Covington from Alpharetta. This is the very reason I can't stand tailgaters. I had changed lanes to pass a dump truck with nobody in the lane I switched to for at least 400-500 ft. While I'm passing the truck, a Ford SUV comes up on my tail. I tap the brake pedal just enough to flash the lights and turn off the cruise control. Look up and see the cars in front of me are starting to slow down almost to a stop, so I have to brake for real. BAM! Der Red Maxine will need a new rear bumper and a right rear quarter panel, paid for by the other driver's insurance.
I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy in 2016 with the same doctor. I asked him if he wiped the camera before switching ends. For a couple of seconds he thought it was a serious question

No... They do the gastro first then the colon. I think you said you were 13th that day.......I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy in 2016 with the same doctor. I asked him if he wiped the camera before switching ends. For a couple of seconds he thought it was a serious question
I had a great conversation with one of my trumpet buddies I trade tapes with for 2 hours
@NTP2 here is a link discussing my workshop setup.

I had planned it since I was a teenager and achieved it around 20 years ago (in my 40's).

Different type of scope used for each end. Automated washing system for them, about a 20 minute sterilisation cycle.
They have more than one of each scope.
Sorry to spoil the fun.

I don’t know, do they have that kind of cash?
This is not the thread for FACTS.....

It’s a fact that I drink the whiskey I show pictures of.
I've seen how much whiskey you bottle, and that is one heckuva nightcap......oh......wait......you didn't mean you drank *all* the whiskey you bottle. Sorry about that.

Got into a "calculators at 10 paces" argument with another engineer. They were really snotty about how my calcs were obviously wrong and I'd probably made a units error. After they sent their formulas over so I could see how they wee getting their numbers, I helpfully pointed out the divide by zero error in one of their terms. We'll see where it lands...
I had an argument with an "engineer" who had designed some parts that didn't fit together very well. I insisted on copies of the part drawings and he wasn't very happy when I pointed out his cumulative tolerance issue. The parts were toleranced OK as individual parts, but as a group they were an interference fit frequently..Fwit......

I went through 50 cassettes that I have since I sent my trumpet buddy 200 of them, so now he wants to buy my deck and get the rest of the cassettes, that way I won't have any more. then I'll be continuing the downsizing again

That's a real problem that can happen in various disciplines. If you are paying people to manufacture a component you have to specify tolerances to keep some amount of quality. But when you fit together the work of various people and try to apply an overall tolerance then you can fail even though all of the individual components are manufactured correctly. We've had that happen on a few of our projects- you point out that something in the assembly isn't meeting nationally accepted tolerances and the contractor doesn't want to fix it because he can't pawn it off on any of his subcontractors.
