About Bloody Time

It has been a while since I last gave blood, but on Saturday, opportunity met preparedness, so I got lucky...

In addition to the operational challenges we've had with the computers and the Stealth, we've had a bunch of other opportunities including a leak in the blower unit for the air conditioner and a garbage disposal that self destructed. Fortunately, we decided to renew our home warranty, so each repair only ended up costing us $45 for the service call. The A/C leak was a fairly easy fix - the condenser drain had become clogged, and the repair guy simply blew the clog out with compressed air. The disposal was dead, so the warranty company installed a new one for us. The latest breakage was the TV in our bedroom which died a week or so ago.

So, on Saturday, we went to the Wal-Mart and K-Mart on island to see what our options were. As we drove up to the K-Mart, I noticed the Florida-Georgia Blood Alliance Bloodmobile parked in front of Bealls. Fortunately, I had my donor card with me, and they weren't scheduled to leave for another 1/2 hour and there was no one waiting, so I was able to make a quick donation. This worked out really well, as Jeanie and I had planned to walk on the beach, but we had about an hour to kill before low tide, so the timing worked out just right.

And speaking of about time...

On Sunday, I finally got around to putting up the peg board in the garage and getting my tools put up. Jeanie started refinishing her hope chest and made good progress.

It was nice getting some stuff done around the house.
