A day of blood letting?

While out running errands I found the Blood Mobile.  (or did they find me?)

I started by riding my bicycle to WestMarine for a couple of parts.  They had 2, but not the vital 3rd.  So i decided to stop by my favorite Mexican Restaurant for a taco and then on to Home Depot... (THIS i After some creative adaptation of parts i got enough stuff to make it work.  Now I'm on the other side of town and close to Publix grocery store.  Might as well peddle on over and get some milk?  

In the parking lot - sitting directly in front of the bike rack - the blood mobile.  (is this karma calling?)  Well yesterday i was given a clean bill of health at the public library, so why not give back and share some blood?  I went in and signed up for the max pain and biggest karma payback!  I got the 30 minute Cancer blood protocol.  They run your blood through a centrifuge and it takes a lot longer as the dark blood comes out and after spinning is pumped back into your arm - clear, is more unpleasant and made me feel better about my "good karma."  I hope it helps some well deserving cancer patient.

 

Prodigal on W8 mooring

While out bike riding, I rode up on the old bridge.  (Far East in the harbour) I was curious about what the view might be.  Toward the East is the 200 mooring balls, + the anchored boats.  The West points out into the Atlantic and Cuba...

Now i'm back on the boat with a glass of red wine, busy converting it into blood to refill my empty spaces.  I hope everyone is healthy and that some good karma comes all our way!

Wednesday means Bocce Ball and work

On Tuesday at 2pm the marina plays Bocce at the city park.  

There are two courts and last week they had enough groups to play on 5 courts simultaneously with teams of four.  Today we had a total of 4 people.  (cold and rainy clouds)
Enough to play, barely.  My team won.  Bill, my partner, was good.

I wanted to go by the library and spend a little time looking at the 'Book Sale.'  there was a sign out front.  Turns out the book sale sign was from last week and today was the FREE health screening.  ('free')  I can afford free, so i went in and had the entire head to foot measure and grade.
I passed.  I'm healthy!

I was in the Marina when this couple came in and told the Manager about a 'hurricane sunk sailboat' that they had wrapped their chain around.  "had to have a diver come untangle it."

This is Stitch in his homemade fiberglass dinghy. I watched him working on it 2 yrs ago.

The tree of knowledge is where the old guys sit and 'discuss.'

Lastly Bocce and Winning!  *We beat Roger and Peggy!
