Plans for today (2025)

It's mostly a scam to take your money. You pay them $100 or so, they run a background check via the sheriff's office that cost $10 and if you're clean they print you a card.

Yeah, years ago I would get emails from a few MSCs where they would offer to fly me in (and home) and pay for my hotel and meals, but a lot of those shops involve multiple table games and I am not much of a roulette player or blackjack player. I can play Texas Hold 'em but I prefer to play with friends and not on a casino level. All-in-all there are lots of timings, food and drink outlets, descriptions, etc. These shops require a great deal of detail and focus and I think for someone who really loves to gamble, they are fine, but since you only get to keep a certain amount of any winnings, I think they don't pay enough. Also, there are quite a few beverage interactions and since I hate wasting alcohol (the wise thing to do would be to pour out most of those drinks after the first sip), so I would be schnockered in no time and I might make a mess of the whole thing!

Pretty much the same as yesterday. Breakfast (at the same place), scope out a couple of housing areas, drive around, that’s about it.

Todays plan was to try sort out what fishing tackle & stuff to take for my holiday trip.
Rods & reels was easy, but spinners & lures...

Taking my fly fishing rod as well, just don't know if I still know how to use it
Flies are small, so they are packed

Worked from home today, went for physio at lunch, and then headed over to the clinic to donate blood after work. Donation #88 in the books!

I used to give blood but gave up when they used the new lady on my veins.
2 heavily bruised arms later.

Yeah, some people definitely have better technique than others. I was a bit worried today, the lady had pretty long nails, but she did a good job overall.

My area has a constant shortage of blood and blood products, so I donate as often as I can (every 3 months).

I did too but I wasn't going about my business in a short sleeve shirt with track marks up my arms
