Dirt or street? MX practice when I can (mostly with my son). Street is mostly commuting now on my sportbike -- too dangerous to have fun off-track.

Hey, awesome! only has 8 characters... :ph34r:

After the blood donation is done and the Pt is walking to the cookie table, there won't be any existing vascular access... At least in Cali, I know a (now) medic who was able to routinely start IVs as an EMT-B with a supervising MD on-site.

Learned a great stroke question the other day from a medic who I transferred a Pt to: "Repeat after me, The sky is blue in Cincinnati." If you're having trouble telling if the Pt is slurring her speech, the "in Cincinnati" part will probably show it up pretty well. Worked in this case.

11. I did not cause this; I'm here to help.

Working a shift -- BLS standby at the Cirque du Soleil in San Francisco. Stop by and say hi if you're at the show!

+1. Time to mellow.

$109? What the heck for? My shears work great at something like $20 0r less.

Please let us know what happened. And please consider two things. First, your mom was very lucky to have you and your wife right there when she needed CPR. Early CPR is very important for survival. And second, one of my mentors' mantras is "I did not cause this, I'm here to help." You were...

Not sure if it's okay to post a link to another forum, but Thumpertalk.com is a great resource for learning about dirtbikes, riding, gear, and so on: http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/?f=410 I'm berkeman there as well.

Link? Wouldn't be a bad thing.

You mention walking and jogging. Does your gym have a stationary bike? You can start with 15 minutes, and work your way up to 30 minutes and higher resistance levels. Stat bikes can give you a very convenient, very good quality aerobic workout, without a lot of impact. I like the "Speed...

Timex Ironman works for me. For both.
