Stop in for a cup of coffee

Speaking of butt butter, I just did a stool sample for an upcoming colonoscope. It tests for blood in the stool. If there is they will get me in sooner. Sorry, I know, TMI
 
But hey, if you can't talk about this stuff with friends, who can you talk to about it? Get yourself checked!
 
It's Twister Tuesday!

Good morning :D
 
I get to go to da lab for fasting blood draw here shortly. I hope them lab techs ready fo me witout coffee :lol:
Had mine last week. I made sure this time that I was hydrated. It's easier for them to find a vein to poke. Being on blood thinners helps too. I filled up 3 tubes in short order.
 
Got put on military orders. Spent the last week conducting 4 military funerals, 4 more to come in the next 9 days. All either high ranking enlisted or General Officers. Never had this many in a year, let along a 3 week period. And of course, it’s cold… 11 degrees for the one yesterday and 1, yea 1 Deg F forecast for Thursday’s. And no, we’re not allowed to wear overcoats in our Dress Uniforms for funeral details. Lucky for me, I don’t have the new dress uniform yet, but I just wear OcPs with no coat…
 
Trying to fab head pipes (if that is what they are called) to connect a header back kit without the headers.

I think that spherical flare piece needs to be shortened then angled off to the rear a bit to clear the steering.

Seems like it will go around the starter and miss the torsion bar.

Had my hydraulic fluid sampled. Both of the techs survived without incident, they told me they were specially trained to to take samples before the operator of the equipment had received it's caffeine fill. Got the sublime duct tape to hold the patch in place. Warned them I will be returning in 2 weeks for another sampling :lol:

With the short pieces I have found it is often times easier to weld and extension on the pipe so I can bend it right where it needs to be bent, then once I get it bent I simply cut off the tail I welded on for the leverage and placing. The short ones sometimes just won’t play nice when trying to bend them.
 
So I go to buy a nice stand for my lady. This was her Christmas. The guy owned the apartment and was selling the furniture that was left behind so he made an offer I thought I couldn't refuse. So this beautiful drop leaf table with 6 matching chairs was $35 and the stand and a recliner as well as a dresser. Can you believe that coming home with the bouncing trailer it busted 4 of the 6 legs on the table. My luck just is not getting any better this week
