Life is good. Last shift was fine... again another case of Murphy's Law coming to bite us in the butt. Our rescue is one of the top 3 busiest rescues in the county. And my partner is in medic school so he is itchin to learn and put to use the stuff he is learning. He's a great guy and we have a blast. We're both good coffee addicts so we spend our time out and about hitting the java shops in Little Five Points. Well... our rescue didnt turn a wheel until 3:30pm. Now I'm certainly not complaining, but its just one of those... you just know.. for every minute of peace you get during the day, you gonna pay double for running your butt off at night.
We ran a call on a deaf/mute who seized and did a face plant in the grocery store. We tried.. but I'm sure it was comical watching us trying to do pseudo-sign language. I need to refresh my sign skills. Ran another call for a woman stabbed. She took a steak knife to the lateral scapula area. We were dispatched that she was stabbed by a family member, but she tells us that she was cooking, toko some sleeping pills and rolled onto the knife. Yeah lady, right. Sure. She didnt need a decompression, but baby doc in the ER put in a chest tube. We proceeded to run the rest of the night with taxi rides into the ER.
Spent the weekend out at the plantation and had a blast. Took the atv's out on the trails to go muddin and watched these awesome little kids doing 360's with their motorcross bikes on the jumps.

These kids rock! A buddy of mine works part-time out there and hung out with some of the other medics who also used to work at my dept. We had talked about it earlier but we finally got everything in the works to work out there PT. I'm gonna be driving the wheels off my truck with mileage. Durhamtown has miles and miles of trails... hit a few jumps accompanied by the pucker factor as my front end was coming down before it should have... but I didnt break anything. The close course is a trail that is about handle bar wide, so there were a few times of, "shit, shit.. there's a tree.. turn, turn, .... whew! That was close" LOL ! ! ! So, I've found my new toy. If you're ever looking for a fun place to play, check out Durhamtown Plantation. Had great weather while we were riding but once we're on the pad to hose off the machines, a torrential downpour came through. Its been a great weekend. I'm sore, but it's all good. ATV's and paintball will do that to ya. Kelly days are such a wonderful thing. Life is good.
