Whos up tonight

[tommymac]

I am on my second of 4 straight overnights. I got clobbered last night. Tonight is so far so good but has potential for ugliness given the staff we have here tonight. At least sunday night the 2 docs I am good friends with will be here so that will be a good night.

Anyway 7.5 more hrs to go.

Tom

[rogue]

I'm here! :D

I just got in from work. I got ride home in the rain. Half way home it started raining hard! :lol:

One more day of work, then I'm off a day. I have so much crap I need to do before the rally....

[Trip]

me and ebbs are watching long way round

[KSGregman]

I'm here...searching for themes for my wife's Storm in another tab....

I think I have my days prety well mapped out now. I was a madman this morning and got the whole front end put back together before 10am then went to bed.

this mornings plan is to either swap the chain or pull the dash apart, I have one snapped tab but the headlight and want to rig something up to keep it alittle more secure.

I will hit target on mon or tues to get a few things. Are you getting bug spray or should I pick some up?

I can pick up another can or two if need be. 40% deet is the strongest I've been able to find. Last night's (mis) adventure proved to me I really need bug spray. A mosquito got me good last night and even after taking benedryl (which I'm bringing too :lol: ) the bite and the spot around (about 2 inches) it is still slightly red, swollen, and has heat in it.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

wow r the bugs bad down there? they've just started to come out up here... havent even seen a mosquito yet.

[tommymac]

they havent been too bad up here, but on our ride last week I amassed quite a collection on my visor.

Well one hour down and 7 more to go.

tom

[2up]

I am. Then again, its only 9 here so, yeah....

[rogue]

They are here. Always have been. But I also have reactions to almost any stinging/biting insects and that doesn't help matters. :lol:

Tom

Only if you want them. I refuse to take steriods. The only time I've been forced to take it was a steriod shot in the ass and that fucker hurt! :panic:

How many cans of bug spray do you want me to pick up for you?

I guess one will work. I cant forget to go beer shopping also :dthumb: want to see hiow many bottles I can safeley pack/situate in my hard bags, tank and tail bags.

Tom

[KSGregman]

It was in the 50's and raining here today....AGAIN...it's May....and it still feels like March....total bullshit. I envy you guys if you're gonna get decent weather to ride in down there.

[rogue]

Tom

Aight. I'll pick you up a can of bug spray. I may pick up 2 just in case someone else needs some too. :dthumb:

[tommymac]

last week we had a mini heatwave for 4 or 5 days. Now its back to mid 60's here.

Weather so far is looking ok for the rally, def warmer down there than up in NY. For our overnight trip down its looking like scattered showers so i think we may get rained on some, but will have a better idea as the week goes on.

Tom

[tached1000rr]

i'm up

[Gas Man]

at work

[tommymac]

Well the calm before the storm is almost over. My slow triage nurse is starting to get peopel triaged and turns out I have to see a few of them. had a coupel of realy sick ones we sent to the main ER so now its back to the silliness I guess.

But almost 2 hrs in and I havent had to kill myslef yet. Hopefully I can stay on top of this esp since Our clerk is kinda slow too i can just see them as we go and still slack off.

Tom

[Sixxxxer]

Just got home from work...Tommy I picked up a can of Bug Spray 40% Deet as well...And as far as the weather...its been confusing as fuck the past three days so Im just saying fuck it and rolling with whatever happens that night we go to leave...Im almost all packed...gonna strap it all down on the bike probably tommorrow or monday...Give the bike a good once over and wait till wednesday night to venture down to DE to meet up with you and Derf.

Sounds good, I may start some packing tomorrow, just to load up the hard bags then see how much space i still have to play with.

Raingear wise you may be in luck too, I will be wearing my textile pants that are prety much waterproof so you could use my frog togg pants if need be.

Thats Awesome of you Dude...One thing I just didnt pull the trigger on was rain gear...but like I said if you cant fit it then dont sweat it...Im still gonna try and get some mesh type pants to wear even if its an attempt at keeping water out...

[rogue]

Bah! I can't start packing yet. :(

[KSGregman]

I've got a kick ass over the road bike....luggage...gear...but not ETO to justify such a long ride there and back again. I wish I did have some ETO...it would be fun to get out on the open road...and to meet everyone.

[tommymac]

there should be room, the frog toggs dont take up too much space, and if its cooler out I may wear the jacket as a wind breaker. With the tail bag now I will have plenty of room for stuff so we should be ok.

[rogue]

Hey Tommy, do you have any people coming in thinking they have the pig flu? :lol:

[tommymac]

Hey Tommy, do you have any people coming in thinking they have the pig flu? :lol:

We have had a few, the news is toning it down so hopefully the mass hysteria will die down. the hospital took it prety seriously and had set protocols for any possible admissions and we actualy got the rapid flu test, but had prety strict guidlines on who to use them on:idk:

Tom

[buzzcutt2]

No pig flu for me tonight...at least I can't tell with the lights off. :whistle:

[tommymac]

if ya drink enough it doesnt matter anyway :lol:

Tom

[rogue]

I made some lame joke at work tonight about the pig flu but I can't remember what it was. Must not have been a good one. :lol:

However, I did have a couple of interesting incidences the last couple of days at work. Yesterday one of the ladies came and got me because she noticed some guy looking hard at my bike (I always park it where either I can keep a constant eye on it or some of the other employees can). So I went to the window to see what's up. Sure enough there's this huge redneck guy eyeballingi my bike like it's a piece of chocolate and he was going to eat it. I stood there and watched him and lo and behold he decided to put his hands on it. :wtf: So I walked outside, stood a decent distance from him (in case of any sudden moves :lol: ) and asked, "Nice bike isn't it?" He jumps, turns around, and asks "Is it yours?"

"Yep. I've had her about 4 years now."

Him: Nice crotch rocket

Me: It's a sport bike (and smile big....I HATE that term)

Him: Oh well....I used to ride. I'm thinking about getting another bike.

Me, thinking his FOS. You DON'T touch another rider's bike without their permission: Really? What did you ride?

Him: An R1

Me (being a bitch): Then you should know it's a sport bike....not a crotch rocket

Him: Yeah...well...I'm thinking about getting a gixxer1000.

Me, still staying a safe distance (this dude would make 3 or more of me lol) and yet effectively leading him away from my bike: Really, well....don't kill yourself on it. :D

I watched until he walked completely away and around the corner of the building before I went back inside. I thanked the girl for coming to get me when she noticed the guy and told her how much I appreciated it. I can't recall a time I've ever actually had some stranger touch my bike. As I explained to her, it's very disrespectful. Other riders don't and that it's the equilivent of me putting my hands all over someone's car or trying to sit in it. You just don't do it.

Then tonight I was waiting on a woman I guess was close to 70 years old and her daughter. They were sitting in an elevated booth (you have to step up to get in the booth). As they were leaving I caught her out of the corner of my eye and it looked like she may have been having a problem scooting out of the booth to get up. As I turned to see, that old bat let her legs flop open....in a dress....and she had no granny panties on!!!! :panic: :panic: ACK!!!! Old woman snatch! :panic: :panic:

I'm going to have nightmares tonight!!! :panic: :panic:

[tommymac]

welcome to my hell:panic:

Tom

[Mrs. Colleen]

I am up...volunteered to do a parent's night out/movie night fundraiser at the preschool tonight. I was there until 9:30...now I am just sipping on the wine my boss gave me when I left and watching the hubby play Mario Kart on Wii. :beers:

[rogue]

welcome to my hell:panic:

Tom

But that's part of your job to look at old nasty cooters! Not MINE!!!! :panic:

Oh yeah, there were a few...ummm...dancers....that came in around 5pm too. They were in dresses so short, half of their asses were literally hanging out. And they were wearing platform dance shoes....in a fucking family restuarant. What the fuck is wrong with people these days????

Anyway, I noticed one of the female managers looking at them and made a comment to her that it appeared they were getting ready to go to work early tonight. She smacked me on the back of my head and told me to behave. :lol: Then she went over to their table and told them they had to pull that shit down or leave. This was a family place. They left. :lol:

And for the record, they weren't even remotely hot. They looked more like hookers in their dance clothes. Yuck.

[tommymac]

I need more west coast peeps here so I can have someone to talk to as ther night goes on LOL everyone usualy starts to fizzle out by 3 or so.

2am now so 3 hrs down and still keeping on top of things, and it cant be that busy since I am posting like a madman :lol:

tom

[rogue]

I can't sleep. I'm tired but I can't sleep. Maybe I need to pop a benedryl or two. My arm still looks slightly swollen where I got bit and it's still a little heat in it when I touch it. It's been a while since a mosquito has gotten me this bad.

Or I could say fuck it and drink the rest of the beer I have in the fridge. It's only two though....just enough to piss me off. :lol:

I am starting to fade a little here, its been a good night thus far given my staff here, almost at the half way mark and no ones pissed me off yet.

But the bars close in 90 minutes then its anyones guess.

At least you're having a good night at work. I'm drinking a beer right now. :D

well the funs over now, got my first case of stinky cooter tonight.

last night was like th eperfect storm of slowness and badness last night. the resident here actualy came over to help and def helped bail me out over here, and that never happens when I work.

tom

[rogue]

I don't need to hear your stinky cooter story tonight. After being flashed by old snatch, I'll pass. :lol:

They *said* they were strippers. They looked more like hookers. There was about 6 of them and one guy. It looked more like a pimp with his hoes. :lol:

If I'm not mistaken, I've been the one to text you the last couple of times while you were at work. :nee:
So... it's two way street there, missy.

That was....what? A couple of weeks ago? It's hard for me to text at work. Besides, I'm never sure when it's *ok* to text you. I have unlimited texting while YOU don't, so I try to keep my texts to you limited unless you text me first! :nee:

OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

tom

Shut it you. You rarely answer my damn texts either! :tt:

Actually, I sent you one last week and you replied that you were at work. Then after several days of silence I sent you another one this week and you were at work again.

*sniffs* I can take a hint... really.

Like I said, it's hard for me to text at work. I try to keep it limited to my kids telling on each other and asking me crap. :lol:

Was it this week? :scratch: I thought the last one was the week before? :idk: Sorry. I'm losing track of days again. :lol:

*HUGZ!* :D

[Adeptus_Minor]

I don't take it personally.
I can barely keep up with what week of the month it is... if I didn't have a schedule to look at, I'd never know when my work weekends are.

:lol: I skipped Thursday this week. I kept thinking Thursday was Friday. When I got to work I realized why I wanted to skip Thursday. That's liver night at work. *barf* I hate liver. I hate the smell of liver.

[tallywacker]

Mmmm beer

[rogue]

I'm off to bed. I have to be at work in a few hours. Then home to get some more stuff ready for the rally! :rockwoot:

You can't have THAT much stuff to get ready for the rally... how much room do you have to take stuff? :lol:

[tommymac]

Under 2 hrs for me. Got some real winners out there to tend to then its off to wrench on the bike and maybe start packing some stuff.

tom

[Gas Man]

there should be room, the frog toggs dont take up too much space, and if its cooler out I may wear the jacket as a wind breaker. With the tail bag now I will have plenty of room for stuff so we should be ok.

tom

Frog toggs are great. I got my set at Dick's sporting goods for $50. They had a cheaper set for $40.

[rogue]

I picked up an industrial rain suit off of Amazon. It's thick and that's one thing I was concerned with. Even riding slower in the rain for a long time, I was afraid that something thinner would eventually rip and tear. Plus this one is big enough to fit over my jacket...whichever one I decide to take. And...it was less than 20 ;)

[Gas Man]

The frog toggs are designed for it. Plus they are a canvas type material that is breathable. Well worth the money.

[Smittie61984]

Tylenol PM FTW!!! Just waiting for it to kick in. I started getting sick this morning and then I had to work in the rain. I forgot my waterproof boots and a good waterproof jacket. Water resistant but not very warm when moist. So now I feel like shit.

Some claim I'm sick from hanging with some Mexicans while fighting chickens and wrastlin' with pigs. I'm going with a government conspiracy to kill me since I was near the CDC the other day and sneezed due to pollen.

[Adeptus_Minor]

Two more 8 hr nights (tonight & tomorrow) and I'm a free man for the rest of the week. :dthumb:

(which is good because I have stuff to do)

[rogue]

I have tonight off, work tomorrow afternoon, then Wednesday afternoon Amorok will be here and my part of the rally vacation will officially BEGIN! :rockwoot:

[Corey]

I'm here. This weekend was one huge clusterfuck gathering of increasingly stupid people. I'm sorry that you don't understand why the guy with chest pain who flatlined on the way to the ER, or the woman having a stroke, or the three code blue calls were more important than your slightly scratchy throat and blistering fever of 99.1 degrees. If there is a God, or some form of Karma, you'll get your wish of having Swine Flu for being a miserable son of bitch. All 200 of you.

[Corey]

We've had a russian student following around the PA. She's kinda cute. Not as cute as the other ones that have filtered through, but not bad at all.

[tommymac]

Torturing the med student! :devil:


its part of my job description.

Tonight was fookin busy but did 2 awesome laceration repairs. One was over the eyelid, usualy they have opthalmology come do them but I wanted to do this one. one slip with the needle and pop goes the eyeball :panic: tlined it up real nice and will have minimal scarring. i had to show it off to the staff before I covered it up. other one was a mangled finger from a fight. I was surprised how well it came together esp since it wouldnt stop bleeding. poor PA student learned where NOT to stand. Turns out there was an arterial bleed and we had a little pumper going for a bit. At least I didnt have to change my shirt :lol:

Well 15 minutes of hell to go and I is on vacation :rockwoot:
