"Watchin' the wheels go round and round"

Had to steal a little from John Lennon today as nothing much is going on.
Oh, I did go and donate blood again yesterday. Geez where did those two months go? At any rate, I always enjoy talking to the girls while they are lowering my blood content. Normally one of the highlights is sitting out in the lobby having my cookies and juice afterwards. I peeked around the corner hoping no one was sitting out there. I didn't need someone coming up to me and telling me I looked like Billy Graham, Clint Eastwood, Queen Latifah or the lead singer of the Electric Prunes. Fortunately no one was there so I had my cookies and juice in peace, read my People magazine and vacated the premises.
Ten more days and it's back to Minnesota to do a little walleye fishing. We actually caught a few last year and armed with that knowledge, only good things can happen. Plus the guy who burned through a couple of lines, (literally), while the bite was on can't make it this year. We have a new rookie (Mikey), and look forward to imparting some of our great wisdom upon him. Like I said, only good things can happen.....

Good Job. Although my Plasma is much more coveted than my blood, I have chosen this aspect of my life for community service. Because I am the universal donor, my Plasma can be given to anyone in need, usually burn victims. I had to take a year off because of my surgery but am back in the swing and heading for my 2 gallon pin. Funny but if you sell your plasma, they cannot use it for patient needs and only medical research. Good luck fishing!

They tell me I'll hit 5 gallons later this year. If I hadn't started out so late in life, it would be a lot higher.
Its' funny in that I'm O+, the most common type, but the girls told me they almost ran out of my type a few months ago.

I wonder how much the mosquitos have taken over the years. Look forward to the fishing in a week
