(Not very great) pics of Mercy Air at a local hospital, don't see to many choppers that don't have an LA and an FD painted on them around here lol

Bless you, Jim. For a moment there @Chase's post made me realize how out of date I am with technology, apps, and the like these days, then you posted what I was thinking.

Same here.

Also on a side note. 50mg of Benadryl helps you knock out when you go to bed at 1930.

@VentMonkey in honor of the start of the freeway series. Some friendly banter...

That moment when you get home from a 24, lay down and close your eyes, and now all of a sudden its 3pm....

 

[VentMonkey]

Lol, @CALEMT noted.

That moment when you get home from a 24, lay down and close your eyes, but then realize you have tons of errands to run before your wife and kids get home. Where did the time go? Oh look, it's 3 pm already....

More my reality, Jimbo.

In other news, this was most of our day yesterday due to high winds in our area.

Luckily they died down by 2 am in time for a legitimate launch request; it all worked out perfectly in the end.

Aww look at that cute little 407

Yeah winds came up outa nowhere last night, kinda crazy, funny listening to fire's radio start blowing up about downed wires and light standards calls

How quickly some of us forget the joys of this single-engine speed demon. I'd love a 145, but this sure still beats the hell out of an A-Star.

We had sustained winds in the 50's with gusts in the 60-70 range last night.

Same here. They get hammered with power pole and arching wire calls. Earn that money, boys! They do own it, I'll give them that.

We had sustained winds in the 50's with gusts in the 60-70 range last night.

Yeah, Meadows Field was gusting 30's-40's and when our night pilot briefed us, he let us know our mountain areas were still gusting in the 50's and up.

He had also let us know that large aircraft down south were reporting moderate turbulence in the LA area airports. Moderate turbulence for a 737=we're typically pretty limited, and at the least, call by call.

Today is much better; a mellow breeze, and San Diego-ish weather. Yes, and oh yeah, yes.

I love my BK. Once you got dual you can never go back. Or something like that.

It really is pretty crazy to think that people survived childhood before today's era of helicopter parenting

Figure1 is a pretty cool app. Once verified as a medical professional, you can view and post cases/images of medical things. Anything from 12 lead strips, to xrays/mris and pictures of unique traumas are posted on there. Then, similar to here in the comments people discuss the diagnosis and workups. I love the app, learned a bunch from it.

Thanks. As if I didnt have enough stuff to keep me from getting stuff done. This app is amazing

Waylon, Willie, Johnny, and a couple brews? Sure why not...someone really has been in Bako too long.

Luckenbach, Texas anyone?...

Not until you start listening to Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam.

Too little, too late? Haha, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard are legends around these parts, rightfully so.

107.1 and Merle Haggard Dr. I distinctly remember from my commute to Tulare. Coming off the grapevine right about 0600 when the sun was coming up and the sky would be a bright orange color. Fun times, how I weirdly miss the central valley.

Don't forget BOB and "The Crystal Palace", lol. One of Merle Haggard's former mansions is now (or was last time I went there) a psych asylum.

It still is, and It's been a while since I've run anything out of there.
