Looking like a good day to do a whole lot of nothing.......
That was my plan for the day (well, I did have some projects in mind). Took the dogs for a walk to pick up the mail and was sitting in the recliner, leafing through the latest copy of the NRHS Bulletin (dated Summer 2005, but I guess that's another story), when the scanner pipes up with a reported structure fire - at the library. It's just up the street from me a ways.
Headed for the station, grabbed the pumper and another firefighter and headed for the scene. Light smoke pushing out from the edges of the roof - not a good sign.
We got a good hit, but had a bit of a kicker to deal with - the building was closed for asbestos abatement. That worked both for and against us. That it was sealed up pretty well kept the fire contained somewhat, but it meant that even after the fire was out, the firefighters still had to work in full gear. With temps pushing toward 80, that was just that much tougher.
Unfortunately, this small library probably had most of it's books ruined. At least they still have a building to restart in.
Now, to see if I can salvage any of my projects....

I wish I could do a whole lot of nothing today... but, we have to head to Minnesota this afternoon. My side of the family is gathering for the last of my daughter's bridal showers tomorrow. Oh well, at least her fiance and I will get to head downtown on Minnesota Transit's light rail and take a look at what's left of the I-35W bridge.
Three weeks until the wedding!

our condolances.i saw that the mega magnet company had record profits for a customer in nebraska. Cw and Mutt will be in our prayers too.matt has a 2 hour delay this morning due to fog.also larrys trees have talked to our trees they are starting to change quick.we have some bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast. its fish friday so we will start serving at 1130.
Sure glad we have a lot of life savers here. I took swimming classes at the Y - had swimming classes in high school, had all my relatives try to teach me - still can't swim a stroke. To pass my swimming class in HS - had to sit/dive off the side and float so many feet. I did it because I was terrified. Never did it again.
Now many years later I have learned to take showers, not go near water unless it is to get a drink or wash dishes and have had CPR training. I could probably teach swimming since I have had so many lessons and save someone's life with CPR - just not my own. So I am very, very cautious.
Mutt tell CW Hi from all of us and hope she gets to come home very soon.
I will be gone fairly early today - have a funeral to go to, so need to work fast and travel low.
Off to find that magnet. Will probably end up with more chicken than I bargained for....
How about a PSA here, since Dan has shown exactly why...
Red Cross CPR and Lifesaver classes are free, most employers, if they receive federal funds in any way have to allow you to attend with no loss in pay.
Every Red Cross chapter in every city hold the classes, and if you want to, call the Red Cross, they will happily direct you to the nearest one.
If you don't think it is worth the four hours, re read Dan's post.
If your still not convinced, look around at work...one out of ten people you are looking at are potential heart attacks, who will not survive their first heart attack with out assisted breathing.
One of those people might be you!
Think about this, out of the people who visited the Diner today, at least one of them will have a life threatening trauma, stroke or heart attack.
Out of all those people you can see at work, odds are none of them have CPR training...trauma room doctors refer to the "Golden Hour"...if you can be kept alive and reach the emergency room/receive treatment inside of an hour of having a life threatening trauma, your odds of surviving even the most horrendous trauma double.
One trained lifesaver can make a huge difference.
Would you know what to do if you found yourself in the same situation Dan was in?
Would you recognize some one going into shock?
Do you know the signs of a stroke, or a heart attack?
Most people having a heart attack do not realize what is happening to them, until it is too late for them to do anything about it themselves, like dial 911...
Do you know that women do not exhibit the same symptoms men do when having a heart attack?
The symptoms are milder, less outwardly visible or noticeable, which is why heart attacks kill more women than men, yet it is the number one preventable cause of death among women.
Transit time for most major cities FD ambulances is 5 minutes.
You can breathe for someone that long.
Take the class, because stuff like what happened to Dan could happen to you...
And yes, I am a card carrying Red Cross Lifesaver, have been since I was 18.
Joe ; you sure are right bout your 1st. line to Dan. I remember an early morning on the Silver bridge in 1967 , then more so that after noon . ~~~ Guardian Angels had a big part in Dans day as well as mine.
I'll have a slice of cherry pie / w ice cream.
2 more look after prayers for Mutt & CW . May the good Lord take a likin' to all our friends at the Diner . Cannonball & Shirl .
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Thanks for the praise folks. You're making me blush! I'm just glad that he's ok. That ice cream sure was good. Thanks, Joe.
One year from today I get married. I hope that it's as nice a day then as we had today! Nite all!
there is a reason why we are where we are sometimes.Great Job!!! you get the first scoop of ice cream for dessert with your pie.we have apple and cherry tonight.Mutt you and CW are in our prayers.

Another "unsung hero". Well done, Dan!
When I was about four years old (I'm now 53), one of my big sisters lost sight of me in the wading pool at McKennan Park here in Sioux Falls. To this day I remember being underwater and the life guard pulling me out and forcing water out of my lungs. I don't know who the lifeguard was, but I could have been history. And I never got a chance to thank that lifeguard for his or her heroic action.

Anyone else?
Thanks Brian, but guess I'll have to deliver CW's to the Hospital; they decided to keep her another night and run another test or two on something indirectly due to the surgery.
Can't go into any details right now.

Way to go, Dan! I think that mom owes you a new phone, wallet, and shoes.
Oh, and here's a big juicy medium-rare for ya...
....Congratulations....! Sounds like a job well done...very well.
I'll take a pound of whatever meat's hot. I'm hungry!
Mook: I've heard that if you put magnetic seed out on a plate and get a big magnet...
CW/Mutt: I hope that you get some answers to the situation. I'll continue to pray for ya.
Thanks for the breakfast emmar. It hit the spot this morning! You're hired...
In other news...
Had rescue #133 today. I decided to stop by the aquatics department so I could get some paperwork for an interdepartmental project started and stood on deck talking to the parents of a swim class. I'd had some of their kids in as students when I was working FT as a Head Lifeguard/Swim Instructor last year as 5 year olds so it was nice to catch up. One mom made the comment "Where did Benjamin go?" The pause in the air was thick and I had that sinking feeling in my gut. On a whim I looked at the bottom of the pool near the drop off. He was there and still struggling. Not thinking of my phone, wallet, shoes, etc I jumped in and pulled him out coughing and spitting up water and breakfast. The lifeguard was tending to a 1st aid situation at the other end of the pool and didn't notice. Now I'm glad I stopped by to get some paperwork done. He's fine and all ended well. I guess I can't stay retired as a lifeguard!
afternoon
Mutt hope Cw gets sprung soon.someone say steak??? 2 med well and 1 well done for mamma.will toss a salad.just hope matt doesn't try to hit the ceiling when he tosses it.hey this week flew by so fast its friday tonight.
stay safejoe
Mook, CW may have to postpone the "shuffle" in the garden, we're not sure if she's going get "sprung" today now or not; seemingly they aren't even telling her anything right now.
(Something to do with another dr., I think.)
Of course you can go out and still try to ketch dah chicken.
Brian, steaks from the grill sound great; I'll put in an order for three, 2 med. well, and one well done. (that's for CW)
CW did call just a bit ago, said Dr. had been in looking everything over and said it was looking good, so;
she should be checking out around noon or a bit after and then be home reasonably soon after that. Mook, if she's not too tired, maybe she'll try to "shuffle" out to the garden.
//edit; emmar, thanks for breakfast this morning, I forgot to mention that earlier; been
just a little extra busy around here this morning.
Grilled steak sounds mighty good to me, Brian. I'll put in my order for a steak done medium-rare.
randy soon you might need to haul santas naughty and nice list in your truck too.just bring it to rudolph ohio.Emmar thanks for breakfast.the owner came in yesterday and there are still dishes to do.well we better get them done then time for bed.
