Be nice to me
Apr. 8th, 2014 09:53 pmToday I earned my three gallon blood donation pin. I went out for a steak dinner to reward myself. Besides, I had to recharge my iron supply.
Busy weekend
Apr. 3rd, 2013 01:37 pmWeek before last I went to a regular Dr. Appointment. I'm probably not going to die this year. I got my tetanus/whooping cough vaccination. The vaccination really knocked me over for a couple of days, that seems to be the nature of tetanus shots. Last week, I donated a pint of O+ blood. I'm officially at 18 pints now.
Saturday, I had my birthday party with friends and family over. Sunday I did Easter with my next younger brother, Dan, and my sister, Martha. Monday, I had an eye doctor appointment. I probably not going to go blind this year.
But for the really important news, I finished a model rocket helicopter model for 1/4A model rocket engines(teeny tiny engines)! Yay! I hope to test fly it in the next day or two.

Donated blood on Tuesday and got my 1 gallon pin (new userpic), yay! Spent the weekend in model rocket contest. I was the contest director. Thanks to help from my intrepid nephew, Patrick, Bumbling Brothers Flying Circus did quite well. We launched our first eggloft model with the egg carried in a balloon. Our altitude was 276 meters with the next highest at 195 meters. The egg survived.

Apr. 19th, 2011 11:41 pmDonated blood today. Had cookies and treated myself to a steak. One more pint and I'll be at a gallon. (Actually I'm there already, but the blood I gave in the distant past doesn't show on the current records.)
Donated blood (O+) yesterday and got some excellent cookies and Hawaiian Punch.
On monday I picked up a clock that gongs on the hour and quarter hours. It a cheater clock that uses electronics to operate the clock and gong speaker on 2 "C" batteries. It is now set up in my basement under my stairs.
My basement retirement project is going through decades worth of boxes of stuff. About 80+% gets thrown away. By spring I hope to have things cleaned out enough so that I can work on my various hobbies with several projects going on separate tables. I filled a couple of trash bags today.
This afternoon I joined the rest of the midwest, got out the snow blower and cleared my driveway.
Now I am looking ahead to a busy weekend.
