The recipe for Dr Walsh

I've just posted a video from our recent trip to Dublin.

Midway through the video (below), Dr Darren Walsh uses a clever contraption to count the atoms in his body (based on his weight).

A few people have asked to see the full details in the list.

Dr Walsh has kindly supplied it.

  1. Great share!

    I love this bucket list and you know you're right. sand blasting machine manufacturer. We all have the same amount of hours in a day so put them to good use. We all have to start somewhere and your plan is perfect. I understand the way of the attractive to the customer with the products sand blasting machine.

    Sand blasting machines like shot blasting machine, sand blasting machine, and grit blasting machines, Wood Working Machinery Dust Extraction unit, Abrasive Blasting Media and various others. Keep it works and share with us your latest information. My time will come but I know I'm on the right path.

    They are similar to small communities that you own - check them out if you haven't already. It's all got a lot better than before!t. Value that list of thousands but I'll get there.

    Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week ahead.
