I got nervous. Had that colonoscopy  test 8 years ago at 50. 
 

I thought this might be the test at 60.....

No, at 60 they use the high speed rotating camera.  Oh, and you can add editorial as you don't get knocked out.

Colonoscopy. It's a great experience. Believe me. You're under anesthesia, and that's nice.  Best sleep ever. It doesn't matter who's looking up your caboose (in my case for the last four times it was a bunch of women). But it's a fact of life, so accept it. You'll like the experience and look forward to the next. It could save your life! I may sound strange, but you'll understand after you're done. Do it! Annie takes me to breakfast afterwards and I eat eggs, bacon, sausage, and a double stack of pancakes. 

The prep is a bitch, but I'm sure you already know about that.

It is great...I wish I could sleep like that every night, although not if I had to do the prep every time.  smiley

That sounds like a great time. It's up there with the ole "step on a rake" gag on my list of fun things.

When I was a working stiff I was heavily involved in the selling process of our high-tech metrology products to commercial and government end-users. Watervliet Arsenal was one of our clients. We won a solicitation and subsequently delivered a CMM there for the Quality Dept. a few years ago. I was directly involved in the entire process ... initial RFP all the way through to final acceptance. I wonder if that CMM is still being used. (I retired six years ago, so this happened before that. Maybe ten years ago).

You sleep so well because propofol is commonly used, you know, Michael Jackson's hypnotic of choice.

Gary, if you recall the building or machine's location, I can look.  (Youtube, I don't understand the restriction)

No, I can't recall the building where the CMM was initially installed. And it could have been moved since then. But it was a Brown & Sharpe (Hexagon) Global CMM. My wife Annie was the Northeast Service Manager at Hexagon until she retired three years ago. She remembers the installation, remembers sending technicians out to service it, but doesn't remember the location of the machine within the facility.
