Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Hope everyone had a great night. I overslept again, waking up just a few ago: and this is PRODUCE TUESDAY!
Coffee is on, juice is being made as I speak. On the breakfast bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy w/biscuits, fried taters (no hash browns this morning), scrambled eggs, and oatmeal & toast.
Everyone have a great morning, and I'll see you after Produce.

Great shot, Dan!
This week looks calm around here with highs in the 30s and little or no precipitation. Next cold air blast comes this weekend, but it still looks dry.

Nightrain,Welcome back in and a Very BIG Congratulations on upcoming event!!
(Some of us are waiting to see some pictures from you,that you've mentioned!)
WILLY2,Turn down (or OFF) the Cold Air and send some WARM Stuff!!!
Colin,hope the foot gets better very soon,Crutches are NO Fun At All!!!
(I've had to use them myself a couple of times.)
Mookie, I think LK had this comment this morning...........? ^
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Well Mook if she's anything like you she's a genius in the making!
Thanks for the feedback on the pictures. On the WSOR picture (nose-on) there wasn't any zoom. I was that close! I'll be uploading more later today. This morning was pretty hectic at work. We had a guy at the Y collapse, seize and then lost consc/resp/pulse. Was tense for a while but after a bit we got him back with the help of an AED. Dan's message for everyone today: Learn CPR and how to use an AED (unless you already know, in which case...keep on keeping on!) as you have a good chance to save someone's life. I've used one before but we had a new staff person who hadn't and she was awestruck at the situation.

No kidding? I could've sworn that was a telephoto shot.

Way to go, Dan! //high fives
Thanks for the five! //fives back!
I was literally in front of the loco mere tens of feet away. They were holding on a siding waiting for block clearance or something that the guy working the switch said. I asked if they could turn the lights on for the shot and they obliged! How nice!
colin get better soon!! sprained my ankle years ago now it helps forecast the weather. hey willy hows this weekend looking? just cold i hope.
CW will take some chilli to work tonight. those trailers get cold loading them.

Yep - Electricity saves lives. Learn CPR and learn how to use an AED. They are popping up everywhere.
I always have gloves and a CPR mask in a small pouch on my belt...
On a sad note - one of the "Santa's" we used on our Polar Express passed away this past weekend. Little did we know, as he worked through the trains this past fall talking to the kids (and adults), that he was not long for this mortal coil. He had cancer and was just 58. We'll miss him.
And on a weather note - the lake effect machine is cranking up again. Twenty MPH in near zero visibility on the way home tonight.
And the chili does sound good tonight.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
Well, I'm sure glad you all think that chili sounds good for tonight: cause that is exactly what is on tonight's supper menu, along with cream of tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, fries, and plenty of crackers (saltine & wheat) to go with them.
Joe, Mutt agrees with you, about broken parts telling the weather. Just over four years ago, he broke his knee, and it lets him know EVERY time the weather is getting ready to change for the worse.
On the weather front, we're supposed to be having a very good possibility of getting some snow tonight (I think). Haven't heard yet just how much , i.e., flurries, light snow showers, whatever.

Last semester I learned CPR and how to use an AED in health class. I got my American Red Cross certification just a couple of weeks ago. Most of my classmates got their certifications too, but of course there were a few who just didn't care whether they got it or not and goofed off the whole time. There are always a few. Hopefully I'll never need to use those skills that I learned, but the day may come.
C60AC, as pointed out an AED is a defribillator. Those of us that can use the manual version have to learn to read the display and make decisions based on what we see and interpret. An AED does that analysis for you - in fact, most will talk you right through the process and even tell you that they won't shock if it's not appropriate.
If you're really interested in "Emergency, seasons One and Two are out on DVD. While cutting edge at the time, medics in the field now can do just about everything they did without 'calling for orders.' I enjoy watching for the gaffes - like changing vehicles in the middle of a response, or the same car pulling over on the same street three shows in a row....
That said, I had the opportunity to hear Randolph Mantooth (John Gage) speak at a conference. Even he is amazed at the effect the show had on EMS in this country.
^?
(Notice it is the right ear this morning. Yesterday it was the left ear!)
Got a comment for anyone to tackle. Heard from a source trackside yesterday that he saw 4 locomotives, bringing in a coal train - all facing backward. I know they run either way and that facing forward is for the convenience of the crew, but has anyone else seen this? They were coming into the yard from off the main line - from the east. Do you suppose - well I will let you speculate as to why.
Mook
Good Wednesday morning, everyone! Well, I finally woke up. Seems I'm getting pretty good at not waking up until 6:40, 6:45 lately. We have a current temp of about 33 degrees, but with the little bit of snow we got this morning, there have been several accidents reported this morning. Even saw some idiots on the news report, who went by red & blues (police), and kept driving like the roads were completely dry.
Mookie, having ear problems this morning? Earrings giving you trouble? That's why I've quit wearing earrings. Too much trouble some mornings, especially mornings like this, when my arthritis has my hands numb and aching. They just don't want to work right. I'm having to type veeeeeerry slowly this morning.
Coffee is ready, juice is made, and breakfast is on the warmer bar: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, grits, hash browns, toast, biscuits andsausage gravy.
Does anyone have any requests for lunch today? If so, please let me know.
Everyone have a great day, and take care.
morning
will take some breakfast and how about some grilled cheese and tomato soup(or others) for lunch today?
larry yea i liked the show emergency too.for the fire trucks going into action. of course i was a bit younger at the time.
The AED's are nice to have IF you really understand what they are to be used for. An AED only works if there is a cardiac rthymn, and theoretically only discharges if it senses fibrillation. The problem is that folks try to use them on persons who are in asystole (no heart beat) and the machine won't do anything. Then, the responder fiddles around with the machine for long minutes on end thinking something is wrong with the machine when instead they should be doing CPR.
O.K.--end of rant.
