most med issues other than an accident... develop slowly... only thing slower is often... the hospital/Dr office admin, appts, etc...
referral?
what referral?
we sent it....
oh, here it is
ok, go see ms RN she will set up up an apt...
hello
2 weeks delay, no action or response, so call ms RN....
well, you know!!!
you are not our only patient!!!hospital/Dr admin...
their appts were at 9 and 9:30 am..
other day i got a call from my Dr's office. would i like to give some blood? ... then she said, 'and you will receive a $50.00 payment!'
sure!! i said. and so i did. a spl program on national level. testing a new procedure or trying to find one. R&D. 15,000 samples needed. they didn't take too much and got paid on the spot!
should put it in my gas tank, but current plans are to put it in my belly....NY Strips, Angus and some fresh cod, too! i mite have to add a buck or so... but still, $50!!
hi t-k !!! you are one of my fav subscribers-posters here on the AS! i am always rooting for ya!!!
pretty sure your plans of the day get more done than all my plans i plan to do...do!!! lol 
some times self-medications/procedures can be the way to go. as in, cut back on the sudz. i have read some posters here's accomplishments in that dept and all i can say is...
at a Dr visit recently... i asked the doc, so doc what causes that? he said... this, that... and excess alcohol, too! i said, good advice doc....
i finished up my scrounged claw hammer the other day back or so. i have renamed it... Stanley. Baby Blue will be its pet name.I wouldn't take it as a warning and would choose it again. Maybe doc broke his scalpel and grabbed the ole Stanley knife to finish up.
Stanley, the hammer... at work, home on the range...
real nice hammer! no light-weight in the 'whacking!' dept... its hits definitely do mean business ~
>Maybe doc broke his scalpel and grabbed the ole Stanley knife to finish up
Stanley lives/resides when not at work in my Stanley toolbox. a scroungy scrounge... that cleaned up real nice! Stanley's top cover also doubles as a tool tray. have some Stanley items in it... a Stanley box cutter, too. mite come in handy out on pasture... if i get a copperhead or water mocc bite!!!
'X' marks the spot! ~
neat and tidy! thanks for the foto essay on the subject 501... i like that 3-tier cage on pallet/blocks set up!
I wouldn't mind getting paid for my blood. i donate to RC only to have the hospitals charge patients for it.other day i got a call from my Dr's office. would i like to give some blood? ... then she said, 'and you will receive a $50.00 payment!'

my current scrounge project... omg, u mean this is not 'What's On Your Bench?' thread.... 
is to turn this pos found deep in a garden bed... and after many years lost... well, on its way to becoming compost.... into something close to the Stanley hammer project finished results. current status, all rust gone, a full metal grind and polish, and in Rustoleum HD Rusty Metal primer... these diagonal cutters were rusted up and locked - SOLID! and now, even with no oil... open and close ez-pz! ....like a new pair of scissors!

hi djg - well, i din't just do it blindfolded. called back after thinking it over some... how much blood will u take? i was not interested in no qt-sized vials, 6 in total sort of thing... and i have to recover for a day or so!!!
no, they said barely a T 1/2 per vial. hmm... are you sure? [lol] oh, yes sir....figured i would get told, now then, thanks... u will receive a Debit Card in the mail within 90-180 days...
but no! cut me a check on the spot!!!... and happy lil ol me hopped on over to my bank and hammerd it!!!
didn't take too long to figure out a trip to Sams meat dept was better than a gas station run....
all in all a
dealBefore I finished reading your post, I was going to suggest what I did. Took a tote and put a hip roof on it for all my nubbins. Yours is taller and easier to get into though.
slick deal! that roof is killer!
"I am here for the pix!" lol... and the pro-level tips and perk how-to's, too! ~
some may like this delightful lil off-grid project...
~ form follow function ~
and not many pix, too!
hint:
I'll just add a few from my adventures in BWCA
FWIW, not my canoe, but me on the rescue. The canoe was a rental from an outfitter, and with the insurance, the only requirement was that the canoe had to be brought back. So, we peeled it off the rock it wrapped around and got it back.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
WOW!
guess safe to say, glad no one hurt!!! yikes...i was lock-kneed other nite on the couch... watching an wild wilderness adventure show i had recorded for a later time. the crew had headed off to Russia to run the 40 mile stretch of Kamchatka River over in Russia. to run the white water in kyaks! several spots they had to (decided to) hike around, too dangerous. and as they said... roll over ans get caught under a rock... and no return!!! no way, no help... and no mercy! used a drone to look-see around the bends and corners... lol. i enjoyed the docu... but no way would i want to run that river... guide or no guide!!! besides, they said the adventure was only suited for 1-st class pro-level kyakers! lol
mountain river running suggested!! lol
seemed they ran into bears at every corner... as salmon was running, too

for a nice rough-country wilderness set of pix of the area and river, etc. they ran it from their start point, 40 mi up stream and on down to the ocean...
imo
with all this doctor sharing and advice, Rx info and suggestions and such, etc... thot a doctor quibitz mite be in order...
when kids, we wondered about when, if and what it would be like to be a grown-up? then little by little we found out...
Shame on you! I'm just kidding, I actually have the opposite issue this year. With fuel prices the way they are most the people I got wood off of are keeping the wood, or attempting to sell it. I have plenty for a few years to come, but always need more. I expect I'll be getting a few calls before longs as the other half will want the wood out of their yards lol.I had a knock at the door yesterday evening, wasn't expecting anyone so immediately thought it's likely someone who will ask, 'do you want that wood?' and glance sheepishly at the remaining Oak out the front of the house. Now what's left there after my heroic 60 + wheel barrow marathon, is about a third of a cube of the most horrible big crotches and huge 'risk a hernia or slipped disk just to look at them' bits. I need to get the big saw out to chunk them up a bit before they go in the barrow to the back. So as I walked to the door I was considering saying, ' no you can have it if you like.'. However recognising that would lead to scrounge membership revocation I thought maybe...'I'll sell it, yours for £20'..... But no. I open the door and the guy starts as I expected, ' hi I pass by lots and see you've always got loads of wood....'. Go on I think..... And then there's an unexpected twist....'I've just taken down a load of Leylandii, it's all cut up into short bits, would you like it?'
When I regained my voice, I had to thank him for thinking of me but pass! I've no room! I am full. My wife would have ripped my balls off if I'd done different.... Scrounge card tendered for surrender
I remember my brother's advice when starting to scrounge.... Be prepared for feast and famine, never turn wood down because you 'have enough'. Well this summer has been feast. Actually it's been over doing it somewhat but with our gas prices expected to rise another 75%. (yes, 75%, on top of the almost doubling we've already seen in the last year) I'm glad I've wood and wood stoves. It's financially sensible even when on the mains now.
