Donating Blood and Shasta ...

This week (Well Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) I was in NY. I was working with a hospital in Sleepy Hollow. Yes, that Sleepy Hollow. I was there as a "favor" to my management staff. You see, a specialist in my group up and quit with very little notice and left us in a lurch to cover his accounts. So Chris is now the new specialist but he cannot be there for the site's reports training so I am covering that in August.

But the site wanted to meet me first hand so I had to go down and visit. Well they literally took everything I could give them including my Blood. I gave my first unit of donated Blood. That was pretty cool. I did that today at lunch. Lunch has consisted of fairly decent sandwiches and some odd salads, like chick pea salad and kidney bean and string bean salad. No chips in site. But I was able to snag a half pint Shasta ginger ale. I didn't even know that they sold Shasta anymore. Go figure. Well I just drove back from NY and I'm going to hit the sheets. Night All.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
