Thanks for asking Mike. It's all good

Wilderness First Responder recertification... we run repeated medical scenarios... some times you're the Responder some times you're the patient. Everything from simple obvious (breaks dislocations) to environmental to drug interactions to long term health issues in a Wilderness setting. Improvisation and long term patient care before medical assistance arrives. Something I've been keeping up on for a while.

Sounds like a good thing especially if you are on the receiving end. Head trauma? :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: :lol:
 
Good early shakeout for the camper. Last summer with house hunting and the move I didn't get out with it at all.

Been chatting with my sister about Mom's funeral arrangements. We will go to the Funeral home tomorrow to make the arrangements. Mom was divorced and we were unsure whether we should include that info in the obit/program. Well, Denise found Mom's lock box and low and behold there was a hand written will with all the info Mom wanted. God bless her! The funeral is prearranged as well so Mom get's exactly what she wanted. I think when this is over I will do the same. It sure makes it easier for the survivors.

I have buried several family members lately. Much easier if they have everything figured out...

That definitely simplifies things. My dad didn't have any arrangements, but I found some notes. Said who a few things were to go to. And most important - he wanted to be cremated -he had never mentioned that!
 
Good Morning!!
A touch of winter overnight but should all melt today.
Colder this week 40's and 50's but it is March.
 
Interesting day here today. Left here this morning was told we were going to breakfast, but no, got to go to the bank and get some money because the car needs to be safety inspected. Go to the bank go to the inspection station get there at 9:00 a.m. the line is about 15 cars long. She tries to pull to the front of the line. But they made her go to the back as they should. Well getting close to 2 hours past only moved a few spots. Now 11:00 a.m. they shut down for 2 hours for lunch in Vietnam. Now I'm hungry because I haven't had breakfast. So now we go someplace I never been before and eat some PHO. Was okay. Go back to the inspection station get there at 12:55. Now the line is reduced to about eight cars. Got to wait till 1:00 till they start working again. Finally get up to the front of the line around 2:00 p.m. . Sitting in the car all day idling with the air conditioning on total bummer. Their inspection stations are rather interesting. They have a dyno they roll the car on too and then get it up to speed and read what it says on the monitor. I looked at the monitor when I went past it but I didn't understand exactly what it was saying but we all know pretty much what they're looking for. Then they roll the car up over a pit and a guy walks under the car in the pit with a light and checks the undercarriage and such. I was amused. At the end of the line. There's a headlight alignment machine they check your headlight alignment with. Apparently ours was off a little bit since she wrecked the front of his car already once. I saw the guy take out the correct screwdriver and adjust it. As far as I know no charge for that. Anyhow in Vietnam apparently you have to get this done annually. Not sure of how old the car or how new the car must be in order to qualify for inspection. But they're also heavy trucks there being inspected in a separate bay.. anyhow all said and done spent about 4 ,to 4 and 1/2 hours at that inspection station today I had no idea and apparently she didn't either.$100 USD. Here's a picture I snuck of their inspection building . Came straight home and popped a few beers and smoked a cigar.

Aside from the annual, it's quicker than a Maryland inspection :rolleyes:

We don't have annual vehicle inspections in Kansas.
With some of the ones I see rolling down the street though, we should.
 
Good Morning All! Japan had a "JCI" inspection, you could always find a car on the cheap that was close to it's inspection where the owner knew it was going to be a ton of money to make it pass. Worked well for a guy on a 6 month deployment who wanted a set of wheels.
 
Pulled out two sections of trees yesterday from down the hill, a lot of water springs out down there, that's what feeds the lake. Not enough to get stuck but enough for sliding once loaded. Also a pic of a cleaned up area in the front plus the resulting pile (there's 5 piles now).
