what/when accident?
12 years of contorted screaming bloody people as the first medic on scene. I would love to unsee some of that shit
And Brown Baby Jeebus delivereth. This bush humper must be the nicest tool I've ever procured. 
similarly cold on the plains when accounting for elevation
I had to drop off Baby Aya at preschool one way or another and riding there (her on Mac Ride in these conditions) would have been just frigid. so I drove in for the third day in a row (first day was because across town, not cold).
some stuff I wouldn't mind unseeing too.
they had the cart parked right outside, just in caseI've seen mine and they were brutal.
In 2014, flipped a large piece of tillage equipment. Threw me about 35’ in the air. Landed on my side and turned my left side to a nice cranberry jello salad. I think I broke 14 bones. Actually a really good day, because I didn’t die.what/when accident?
I suspect a lot of folks in your district consider band/orchestra a communist plot to indoctrinate children.
I see that you are realistic about things...
That’s a wild ride. Do you remember much of it or did you black out? With my history I’d probably be out cold as soon as I got launched.
Nope, remember 100% of it. It is crazy how the mind works. I remember the whole deal taking 30-40 seconds, but the mechanic that was with me said I was up and on the ground in 2 seconds maybe.
And the local volunteer firefighters that though I was ok because I looked ok. And the DR at the first local shitty hospital saying “oh shit call the ambulance back”. After I got the the next orthopedic hospital I was pretty much immediately put under and I’ve got about a 24hr blank.
There was definitely a cart on standby.they had the cart parked right outside, just in case
I'd be good with remembering less, if I'm being honest.
I say that because I know shit will fall apart while I'm gone, no matter how much I try to prepare for my absence.I see that you are realistic about things...
Yikes. Was it an extraordinary amount of pain, or one of those injuries that oddly didn’t feel as bad as it was?
My Dad was a volunteer firefighter/EMT for 10 years or so when I was younger, and I have a few friends that are still in emergency response. Glad I didn't go into that field.
For my big crash, I don’t remember much other than the moment I could tell I was gonna crash and waking up in the hospital. I have one blip of memory as they put me on the board, and my buddy refuses to relive the experience and tell me what he saw.
Still scarred by the day, playing youth baseball, that our shortstop dove, landed on his arm funny, and got up with it all z-shaped. The other team quietly left while we waited for the ambulance.
That event made me 100% aware that I'm not suited for any occupation where regular, gruesome injuries are involved.
Just a slight tingle.
Pretty sure that day has made me have the fucked up level of pain tolerance that I currently have.
Haven't mangled myself too badly physically. But wasn't too happy this summer in the ER having the crash cart brought in and the pads put on my chest with my wife having to watch. She'd already thought I was dead once already earlier in the day when I blacked out at the wheel on the highway.
God damn. I got through my auger incident so cleanly. I did however accept my impending death and then blacked out. My main concern before I passed out : I was about to create a giant gory mess that my coworkers were going to have to clean up.
Mild ptsd - I feel like death will come quick and when I least expect it. There isnt much I can do about it when the time comes. It doesn't stop me from working in very dangerous environments but it has forced me to limit my exposure in those environments.

The sky dumped a bunch of that cold white powder on the ground. My driveway is a 4x4 only adventure when that happens. So much for taking delivery of my new-to-me 500 gallon propane tank. I am not dragging a boom truck up the driveway in my f150.

Length and inclination of said driveway?
Lost power overnight. It got cold. Dog managed to sneak into the bed and under the he covers. Better than splitting him open like a Tauntaun I suppose.
explain.
re the music teacher not having a badge and them not being able to get in this morning
come on, pay attention
It's about 750 ft long and has a 50ft elevation change, around a 7% sustained grade. The best part is at the bottom of the grade is a 90 degree turn.

@Pesqueeb and I will have to vote to let you into the zero balance club.
