Alive and kicking! We "Jeromy,David and I" just got back this morning, have been training out in the field since monday with only 12 hours off time all week. I am wiped out!!!!!!!!!! I hurt in places i didnt know i could hurt! they squeezed 2 weeks worth of training into 1 week. I have to go again in october for a nother week of training. learned some new medical procedures and did a lot of field work. and it was hot!!!!!!!! and my sunburn didnt help , tuesday my shoulders were bleeding from the straps on my pack rubbing agenst them and rubbing the dead sundurn skin off. I put thick bandages on my shulders to cushon the straps but it still hurt. we did 113 air evacks all together between 4 birds, thats got to be some kind of record! The purpos of the training was a simulated mass evac. after a durty bomb det. It all went well, we had 6 guys go down from the heat and had to treat them. one of the people playing a victom fell while getting into place and we had to do a real evac on her, just a sprained wrist. but we flew her to the hospital anyway. we had a field hosp. set up in a field but every once in a while we would take one to the local hosp. they were in on it and it gave them some training too. had one guy vomit while we were winching him up into the bird and the down wash from the blades blew it every wair. i was able to get a few pitures i will poast later i have to dig my camera out of my pack and im dying for some real food! i do not know where Missy is. Mrs Parker had a project for the girls to do but i dont know what it was. up Jeromy just told me the girls are all at a camp for special needs kids helping out there.

Thanks DWM222, is this bad luck catching? lol, i hope not!. At least it was only a wingmirror for me. Hope you get the pickup sorted in your favour DWM222.

Glad to hear your sunburns almost healed up Tigger. Interesting pictures and your right the blood certainly looks real, thanks for sharing them. Can i ask how often you have to go through this tough training programme Tigger?. Is it like once or twice a year?, looking forward to hearing what MISSY's been upto lately.

You certainly have a tough job Tigger, i guess it takes a special kind of person to do what you do Tigger and i can only admire your dedication and true grit.
Sounds like the kids were having more fun!. Which kid was in more trouble Tigger! lol. It's nice to know you guys help a lot of worthy causes off your own bat. Especially disabled children, i donate as much as i can to our local disabled group for children and adults. Anyone who spares time to help the disabled are alright in my book.

Funny thing the way Tigger said it when a kid had pulled your top down sounded like a Not so "Disabled" kid getting frisky. (LOL) At least you cleared that up and turns out it just an accident.

Out on the lake, the boys loved it. We stayed close to the shore in about 3 feet of water just in case but every one wore life jackets.

Just received some bad news, my mum is coming to stay for awhile only joking it's never bad news when my mum comes to stay. Although it's gonna be tough on me, because she's an habitual cleaner, whether it needs cleaning or not lol. I dearly love my mum because i have the best mum in the world, like most of us have. She's come to check up on me after my accident even though i told her on the phone that i'm ok. Her cleaning will drive me potty though lol. I like to think my place is pretty clean and tidy but i bet she'll find something! that's not quite clean or not in the right place lol. One time she actually cleaned my keyboard will soap and water and ruined it, i never told her it was ruined and didn't work anymore, i just thanked her lol. Be nice to have a little company, so i think i'd better tidy up before she arrives lol.

Thanks guys! But realy just seeing the smiles and joy on the kids faces is all the prase I need. Most of thous kids only get to get out and have fun 2 or 3 times a year. It cost about $150 a week for one of the kids to go to the camp depending on there needs. we help out for free to keep the cost down. Tigger does a lot with the boyscouts at his town and in AUG. Jeromy and i are going with him to his camp out for the weekend we did it a cupple years back and it was so much fun, and Tigger can cook. His cobbler is the best and he did ribs that were just fantastic.It is somthing we just love to do. Sarah and Marcy were at shriners hospital for the week and did the activitys for the kids in the hospital. That is hard because some of them are not going to make it. But you have to be strong for them. Tigger is great wit the kids. He has help the boys in the scouts with all the stuff they need to advance, and so much about the outdoors and how to survive. Tigger was even the best man at one of his scouts wedding. and he has raised a wonderfull daughter, having lost his wife and had to do it all on his own and look after his inlaws too, he has got the biggest heart and would help out any one that neded it. He has been thru a lot him self over the years, but he always finds the time to help others. ok I need to stop before i start to cry.( it's a girl thing)

That is so true MISSY, she's taking a nap at the moment so i thought i'd sneek on the forum for awhile lol. We watched "the good, the bad and the ugly" the other night as her favourite actor was in it Clint Eastwood. Although we chatted mostly through the film anyway lol. She also confirmed that it was a stupid thing to do, climbing packs of timber, and mums are usually right lol. She's always a great bit of company for me even with moving things to different places and dusting everything in sight.

My mom visited me several times when I was living in South Carolina and she would wash my dishes and my clothes. Then she would put them away in the places SHE felt they should be. After she left I couldn't find my pots, pans, socks, and underwear...lol! I had to ask her not to put anything away! She also tidied up my house and threw away everything she thought I didn't need. I had to go through all the trash bags because she threw away a lot of important papers I needed! So I asked her to just put everything she thought I didn't need in one bag so I could go through it later and pull out the important stuff. But I love my mom dearly. When she comes to visit me here she asks what she can do to help and I give her specific instructions.

Maby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will tell you what Sarah just told me. Sarah called me wanting to know why her daddy wasn't picking up his phone and i told her he wasn't feeling well and was asleep. She told me Pouncer cought a snake out side and snuck it in the house and hid it in his bed and Sarah was cleaning and was going to wash his bedding and the snake fell out when she picked up the pillow, about scared the life out of her. It was dead but she didn't know that at first, I pry would have dyed right there!! SHE said Pouncer grabed it and ran out in his enclosure with it and was eating it. GROSSSSS! I know them kind of cats do that but it still gives me the willys!

Well back to being on my own again. My sister picked her up this morning and i miss her already. Guess i'll have to start talking to the neighbours cats again lol. My place is now absolutely spotless, you could eat your dinner off my floor, it's so clean lol. Now all i got to do is to put back some things she put in the wrong places, if i can find them that is lol. Sorry that was a little unkind, she's great to have around but will work just a little too hard. Once she starts cleaning she just can't stop even when i order her to stop for a breather. Mums the hardest working people i know.

Sarah took pouncer to the lake for a while and he walked over and sat down next to this old lady that was feeding the ducks. she gave him some scraps of bread, i think he would rather have had the duck! lol Sarah cought this with her phone.
