The private pilot/owner operated the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 and suffered minor injuries. The local personal flight departed about 1015 and stayed in the landing pattern. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The pilot informed the Federal Aviation Administration accident coordinator that he made a 3-point landing, then bounced back into the air. He added power and the airplane veered to the left.
