Catching up from yesterdays pictures..  Fun and busy day.. Yesterday I had a routine cardiac workup that I do every five years or so..  I do these because my family doesn’t have the best track record here    I never met one grandfather.. and my other passed away  when I was young. I intend to stick around for a long time. so get myself checked out regularly.

They inject you with radiactive Thalium (or technitium). an dstick you on a treadmill…

Then they use this wicked cool gamma ray camera to capture a 3D movie of your heart . From that they can tell if all your parts are working as they should.. and all your plumbing is good.

I got a clean bill of health .! . which is why I ate 6 french fries for lunch today.. 🙂

The process with the radioactive Thallium is a little different from the Technitum process I experienced before.  (There’s a nationwide shortage of technitium because 2 of the 6 reactors worldwide that make it are out of order.)  With Thallium, they have to take two different scans with the camera.. so.. in the middle of the day I was free to go. .   I had a full day of meetings but they were all on the phone. so I drove out to Montpelier to try and get a replacement title for the car we’re donating.. It was a beautiful day for a drive..

After some amount of paper chase, I walked out with the new title.. I needed to get it to Good News Garage yesterday..   There was one catch before I dropped off the title, I needed Diane’s signature…  well, as fate would have it, Diane was shopping in williston as I headed back from Montpelier .. We met in the parking lot of the grocery stor and had a sushi picnic and signed the title papers.. what a nice break from my day.

From there I went and did my final scan, then went to Good News Garage to drop off the key and title.

So.. that was my day.. nothing more to report.. and it’s almost 1.. so off to bed..

Oh wait.. I want to share one of the best SamStone pictures we’ve ever received. My friends Jeff and Michelle got stuck in Africa because of the Iceland volcano, they took advantage of that to go to visit Giza in Egypt.. They sent em this picture today..  I love it !

OK.. Nite everyone.. nite Sam !
