Cool and clearing later. Yesterday was lovely, once the fog burned off. Sunny and blue sky with moderate temps, around 70F most of the day. If today is the same, I’ll be a happy boy.<\/p>\n
Did my pickups. Spent time bidding on some stuff for D2’s school, but ultimately quit bidding. What price to put on philanthropy? Less than $1000. Less than $300 this time too. There was some gear in one of the surplus auctions that they could have used, but they don’t have a mechanism to buy it outside channels. The amount we’re willing to just donate fluctuates, but yesterday, for this particular stuff, we hit our limit before the other bidder did. Oh well, I’m sure to have another chance. Everything comes through the auctions, although the timing for this one was perfect.<\/p>\n
Today I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning. I’m of an age where my primary care doc thinks I should have a stress test (cardiac thing, not anxiety thing). I’m having the nuclear version, and a mask and breathing hose is not supposed to be part of it, although walking on a treadmill is. The main issue for me is the amount of water I’m supposed to drink both before and during. It’s a LOT. I hope there is built in time to pee. And I might have already screwed up the “no caffeine rule.” It’s too late to do anything about it, but hope the 24 hours is a bit overkill, and that half a can of Dr Pepper yesterday afternoon won’t mess it up too badly.<\/p>\n
Modern science is a miracle, and since we’re grid up, might as well take advantage and know for sure if there are problems.<\/p>\n
The test and recover is supposed to take 3-4 hours of time, and IDK what I’ll feel like after, other than like peeing… So I might not get much done today.<\/p>\n
I guess checking up on my health is a prep. I might find out I need to stack some new stuff… if there is stuff you need, be sure you are stacking it.<\/p>\n
