Home of the Old Fart's Club

[Keef]

This has always been funny to me but back in the day I took the EMS classes so I could work in the E.R. or the O.R. -- At the beginning of the program they ask each of us to stand and explain why we wanted to be EMTs -- I knew better than to get high before class but I did it anyway !-- When I'm high I have a tendency to entertain myself -- My turn and I stood up ,introduced myself and said the reason I wanted to be an EMT was because U get to go fast as U want and U can run redlights without getting a ticket !-- Told them I was more qualified to drive an ambulance than any of them and I got the tickets to prove it ! U could hear a pin drop !

 

[Keef]

Cool!-- RWS is calling in sick and hanging out with me tonight !-- I convinced her she had a " Brain Cloud"-- as in Joe vs. The Valcano !- Everybody knows U can't work with a brain cloud !

 

[yooper420]

"Brain Cloud", is that any different from a "Brain Fart" ? That`s what we call `em up north anyway. Rattle, rattle, shake, shake.

 

[Keef]

In the Tom Banks movie Tom plays a patients who believes he's coming down with every disease he hears of -- His Dr.who tells him he has a brain fog and has only months to live so he should live it up ! Just to get rid of him for awhile ! So begins the saga of Joe vs. The Valcano !

64 oz of the finest pilsner ever made, four canna caps, six flexrls, a big dab of Beemer's Botanical Balm, and a bowl full of weed/keef/oil, and the back is doing OK.

I'm already thinking about recovery and reuse of Everclear when drying an extract -- The things I have to work with are a pressure cooker, 25 ft of Aquarium bubbler tubing , a remote temp gauge, an army surplus suction machine or a seal -a- meal machine and plenty of ice ! How would I dry extracted oil ?

 

[Kraven]

Kraven - I was just jacking with U !-- O 2 can be a poison in too high a concentration ! As U know !-- Do any time in the O.R. or recovery ? Worked as an O.R. Scrub Tech for 20 years !-- I met my wife in the horsepital !-- She is a professional like yourself but still working so she stays in the closet until the law changes ! I guess U would understand what that really means more than others !-- RWS-- Runs With Scissors !-- At her x-mas party a guy had a heart attack at the bar and fell out !-- This is in a room full of Docs and nurses !-- R.W.S. was right there when it happened and we.t right into C.P.R mode while everyone one else froze in place ! He was dead !-- RWS - said not on my shift and worked him ! A respiratory guy finally broke his panic and took over breathing him !-- When EMS got there he was pink and breathing ! Girl friend then got a So Co 100 proof refill and headed back to the dance floor !---- Since then I try to be careful not to step on her cape !

Woot Great to hear, I'm just an ortho. love it though. After taking so many lives i wanted to give back, so becoming a nurse was my dream when i made it back to the world. I'm glad we had a chance to chat, I like you and hope we can develop a friendship over time. It's nice to know that other share my fate in the seep south....tell RWC good job with the code !

Loved that movie! They asked me what my desire was to be a nurse was and I just told them flat out I love the idea of having access to all the good meds.......then slowly followed it up with to help all the people who need a caring hand. Wow this new PAX came today and I am high!

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks for your service Kravenhead, then and now.

My route to medicine was a little different than yours but there are perks to it !-- I grew up working steel and went into the army after high school -- the army in all it's wisdom decided I would make a good -- military policeman -- go figure ?-- lots of free weed !-- Went Back home and went back to working steel-- worked for a man who drank a little much and sold concrete machines that didn't exist !-- Back at the shop my mentor and I had to bud said machine -- was doing R.&D for a concrete company up north whenI built a revolutionary New type machine -- They had what they needed from me and after setting the shop up to produce the machine -- I got an engineering bonus and a pink slip on the same day ! Decided to go back into the army and never build for anyone else but myself in the future !-- picked O.R. Scrub Tech off a list after repeating basic training again and testing !- I figured I could clean just about anything -- no shooting in war time seemedike the job for me !-- Somebody could at least have told me a scrub nurse do.'t have nothing to with cleaning ! Turned out the adrenaline junky inside me thrived in day life or death decisions ! One day I build again !-- Wet Heat !-- a totally New type of engine !-- I must be high as a kite to even mention this !

[giggy]

I quit high school and joined the army in the middle of Viet Nam war. Picked the infantry. Proof of what drugs and alcohol will do to your brain. I learned how to fire a mortar. Not much use for that in real life. One day the sergeant asked if anyone wanted to take a test. You got the rest of the day off. I raised my hand. I did not even know what the GED test was. I write 84 on every test I have taken. All in all it was best choice I ever made . good morning OFC

 

[Hippie420]

My lottery number was 003. Came real close to living in the Land of Maple Syrup.

 

[yooper420]

Draft lottery ? What the hell was that ? When I got drafted, they took everyone born during that week or month. Got that letter that started off thusly : Greetings from the President of the United States. You are hereby ordered to report for induction at 0600 hrs. on 21 November 1967. Just what I wanted to hear. Yeah, right.

PS,
3 days after my 20th birthday. Good friend was 2 weeks older, got drafted a year earlier.

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C. !-- still trying to figure out which way is up !-Love my Kuerig Coffee -- found my pipe soon all will be well with the world ! Mane - I had to do basic training twice -- but that Warrant Officer Development course was the worst !-- I was an infantry M.P. -- 2nd Inf. Division -- had my feelings hurt at flight school -- they called infantry " crunchies" cause when U land a helicopter on them the go crunch !

 

[Keef]

I know it is not politically correct but at one time there was a phrase I remember --Kill them all - Let God sort'm out ! It was a different time and I don't expect those that followed to understand --like my tee shirt used to say -- Southeast Asia War Games -- 2nd Place ! Confusing ain't it !

 

[umbra]

Morning OFC. Weird morning is all I can say. I remember my mother making arrangements to smuggle me to Canada, in order to not get drafted. I remembering laughing at her and saying, they will never take me. They don't draft epileptics.

 

[yooper420]

Basic training. A royal PITA. Anywho, they asked if anyone wanted to be a chopper pilot. Choice to make : Walk through it or fly over it ? Me ? I wanna fly over it. Go to sign up for it and get told you wear glasses you can`t be a pilot (which changed before I got out). OK, I can be a crew chief and get to fly over it anyway. Did it, became a crew chief on a Huey and then a Cobra Helicopter gunship. Had to be a catch and not a pleasant one. Chopper crewmen suffered a 75% casualty rate and I volunteered for it. Glad I got the Cobra crewchief job. Not the end of the story, but enough for now.

 

[Keef]

Let's not start reminiscing about -- back in the day !-- I don't know about U guys but I've made peace with the past !-- Dang !-- They about to legalize weed !-- It's a great time to be alive !-- Did U know that U can order world class pot seed on the new fangled thang they call the internet ? My first time I felt like Jack and the Bean Stalk !-- trading gold for some magic beans !-- 50 -- White Widow seed for $250 !-- it was a fair trade ! Looking for that Jesus O.G. and Bruce Banner seed now ! Love me some good weed !-- Anyone know if one of those new R.O.V. drone things could carry say a kilo ?
