Second Tuesday in November…
Today’s music trivia is a band I discovered in the 1990s and
their name is sort of a reference to W.C. Fields nose, as well as other
individuals who have a skin condition or had too much to drink. Songs such as, “Found out about You”,
“Allison Road” and “Hey, Jealousy” found lots of airtime on the radio back in
the 90s. Can anyone name this musical
group?
We did not blog post yesterday in honor of the holiday
Veteran’s Day. I hope all my fellow
Veterans had a great day doing whatever is fun for you. I myself had a stress
test at the hospital at 2:30PM, which kinda broke up the day. After that, grabbed some lunch at the Wendy’s
drive thru and then I did little as possible just reclining on the coma couch.
As I mentioned above, I had one of the two stress tests
appointments yesterday. I had to have no
caffeine for 24 hours prior as well as having to fast 6 hours prior to the
test. The test was simple enough, they
inserted an IV into my arm and then gave me drug to stimuli my heart rate. It was funny, because it felt like it slowed
down my heart rate. I felt calm and
relaxed for this portion of the test, which lasted maybe 20 minutes. Then I had to go into another room for them
to take nuclear photos of my heart using x-rays and gamma rays also. It was sort of like an MRI except not having
to have my entire body stuck inside a tube.
There were two sessions, one lying on my back for maybe 20 minutes and
one lying on my belly for 15 minutes and of course you have to be perfectly
still. I was in and out in about an
hour, which worked fine for me. That
should be the length of most doctor appointments.
I got Linus back from the repair shop on Thursday and
everything pretty much got fixed. He
received a tune up, oil & filter change, new passenger side mirror, cigar
lighter fuse replaced, and he had the new front brake rotors and shoes replaced. I was estimating @ $500.00 and the final bill
came out to $530.00. Not too shabby an
estimate, which worked out nicely. I
hate it when it is way more than you ever estimated. Being a former mechanic probably helps in my
estimating process. Anyway, Linus is
back on the road running like a champ once again! Now I need to clean up his interior, cab and
living quarters compartment, so I can go camping once again very soon. It needs some TLC this week. I need to put everything in its proper place,
he needs a good sweeping out, and I need to work on the curtains also.
Does anyone have a Dutch Oven Cookbook or some good recipes
for camping? I am beginning to collect
recipes and I’d like to try some of them before I go on our back roads
tour. I did see some on the boy scouts
webpage, but they were quiet limited. So
feel free to email me or place a comment on our blog page, okay? We have about a year or so, so let’s start as
soon as possible. Send us some stuff,
okay? J
Today for lunch I had 2 Rubio’s Fish Tacos. Mmmm.
Tasty and good for you, all in one, and it even filled me up. I used to eat there more often, but I had to
cut down on expenses, which includes eating out for lunch and visits to the
tavern. I still got a mess of bills to
pay off before I retire. Since I never made out to the market this weekend, I
had to eat out for lunch today. I’ll
probably grill up some chicken breasts tonight for the remaining lunch days
this week and have them at the ready.
That will also save some time during lunch each day.
Until next time… Be Good!
