Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas
The Blood Letting Team got right on the job this
morning. The Blood Center had no one
waiting when the OFM got there, but they were very short handed today. The
Blood Center director did the pre-loss paper work on the OFM. Then it was wait a few minutes as the techs
were taking care of another chore somewhere in the building.
When they got to the OFM, things went very smoothly. Eventually a total of three techs
participated in the OFM’s blood loss. As
usual everyone was exceptionally friendly and professional. The circus tent size T-shirt that is required
to get around the OFM was presented. That is a four piece panaroma below.
Then it was time for lemonade and a cookie before the
Teams hit the road. Since we were in Corpus Christi we did stop at the Academy
to browse some. Less than four dollars left the OFM’s pocket. Back on the road the OFM was thinking about
food. As it that is anything different
than usual. It dawned on him that the Teams would be going past a very good
buffet in Aransas Pass and the techs had told him to have a “HEARTY LUNCH”. Naturally the Truck voted for that idea.
When lunch was finished the Teams meandered past the
Rockport harbor to see how the tent mess was doing. There is an event next
weekend called the “Sea Fair” to help the tourists leave money in the
area. It will be a big show from the
looks of things.
The kiters were having a ball out from the beach. They zoom this way, then zoom that way and
sometimes have spectacular explosive discombobulating events that are exciting
to see.
By now the OFM was feeling the loss of blood so the Teams
headed for the Castle and the rest of the day goofing off. Tomorrow he should be ready for some more
trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
Congratulations on the Blood Loss Barney. For years I always wanted to do that but it wasn't until the passing of my late wife that I could do the deed. Last Saturday my Donation count stands at 80. Be Safe and Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
I have been donating all over the country so I have no idea what my count is. Estimate a minimum of four to six times a year for 45 years now.
DeleteGood for you on helping out someone else with a blood donation.

Hopefully good for several folks. They really break the blood down in many parts now days.
DeleteBarney, you're very generous.
