Teams Location: Rockport, Texas
The big adventure today involved getting steel shoved
into me and capturing the blood in a plastic bag. For that great service to mankind they gave
me a shirt.
That means the rest of the day was spent being very lazy
to allow my body time to build more blood.
In my ancient old age it has proven worthwhile to take a good 24 hours
before getting too active after a bloodletting.
When the Bleeding Team got back to the Castle our new
toys were unpacked and inspected. The
antenna that was eaten by a tree in Big Bend NP is going to be replaced by this
new improved version.
While wandering around in Andy Baird’s site about
antennas this special adapter was mentioned.
Instead of having a special adapter with a plug to fit
the air card, this one works by induction without having to actually plug it
into the air card. That means that no more additional adapters should have to
be purchased. Of course if antenna
eating natural items come back another antenna might be required. When the wind lets up some, then it will be
time to get on the roof of the Castle.
For now the air conditioner is having trouble staying bolted to the roof
so the OFM will not be going up there to mess around.
Some gentle exercise was needed and the waves and froth
at the beach park is blowing all the way across the walking path down
there. So the Walking Team headed all
the way over to the Community Park again.
That is almost a mile from the beach park.
It was nice that there was a bench situated at a nice
location for resting after the 2 mile walk.
This is a nice place to wind down from an exciting day of
trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
I was 1 donation from 8 gallons when I had a problem and was no longer allowed to donate... So I have great respect for those that give of themselves.... the best gift you can give! Wear that shirt proudly!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of you to give while you were allowed. Thank you.
DeleteI wonder how many people's lives you saved today.
ReplyDeleteI too think it's one of the best gifts to give. I can't donate, but wish I could. I'm glad that you can & do. Wear that t'shirt with pride! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a donor but I have not done it. I should probably check it out just to see if I can. Yes wear that shirt with pride.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment about the Canon A1200. Your pictures always look good, and so far it seems like a decent camera, especially for the price.
ReplyDeleteHope those mosquitoes don't eat you up. We were glad to get out of TX and back in dry NM!
