So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

Generator Breaker Interlock arrived and I installed it.

 I also temporarily put the fence back up. It isn't stretched and connected yet but the top rail is back in place and the fence is hanging from the top rail making it appear closed in for now. If Hank was interested in getting out he easily could just jump the fence anyway. As long as it looks like it is there he will not try to get out. I am going to replace that section of Chain-link because it is fairly rusty. Hank doesn't normally have access to that side/garden area anyway. To enter that area there are two gates to go through from the backyard and one from the front yard, as long as I keep the gates closed he'll be contained.

 Just to be clear, I installed the generator inlet on our house and I had the power pole replacement crew install the power source switch and generator inlet for just the well since the well has it's separate breaker box on the power pole. I could have done it myself but it is close to the ground and my with my back I would really have suffered doing that job and for a while afterwards.

  I just looked at our 10 day forecast, we are supposed to get rain every day through Saturday morning. 

 March is looking pretty wet! Wild flowers to come....

Two of the boys and myself were casualty volunteers at a joint training operation for police and fire services.  It was fun!

I’ve been holding down this recliner for the last four days.  It hasn’t moved so I think it’s safe to get up for a while.  I’m pretty weak and moving pretty slow.  Even non invasive surgery kicks my butt.

Went to the MVD (sounds like a disease) to renew my DL and of course just as I was at a window the program that they need crashed.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Now I have to drive another 120 miles round trip tomorrow and hope it doesn't happen again.🤞 I didn't bring the right address proof I needed to get a travel DL so I guess it doesn't matter.☹️☹️☹️

Now I'm waiting to see the vampires.

I hesitate to ask for a definition. Does a casualty volunteer inform next of kin or others after someone dies from a fire or violent crime, or That sure does not sound like fun.

Spent about 3 hours each day for the past week making this bracelet. I make my trial models in copper and if I like the outcome I make it in silver or argentium.

Stripping the paint off of a old realistate sign post to make a street sign pointing to our road. There use to be one but someone took it. No idea why but it is what it is. The only street signs that are in my area were put up by people who live there.

Very nice pattern. If gold wasn't so expensive a combo of rose and yellow gold would make a very stunning piece for sure. Even antiqued brass would look good to.

No, we were actors.  We were wounded and the emergency medical responders were to treat and transport us.  It was a training exercise where we were live dummies with injuries for the scenario.

It's all fun and games until you get to the autopsy phase...

Whew, LOL! But they also need to request a very heavy, large volunteer without insulting anyone. That has got to be a common situation.

Oddly enough there are some that are larger than normal gladly take on the part in these exercises. I have participated in a few mass casualty exercises that required moving large individuals and it's a real challenge to take care of these folks.

Now I'm curious, at the mass casualty event, how large is large?   I've read about ambulance attendants having to move people that weighted enough to require the fire department cutting open walls and using equipment to move the patient.   I recall a few times as a LE officer having to help our ambulance responders move a big guy but in my little world I don't think those big guys ever weighed much over 300 pounds which is a lot lighter than really big people.  When you are young, fit and strong that's just a fun challenge.

I worked Hurricane Katrina with the DMORTs. Their biggest headache was finding enough body lifts to lift large individuals into and out of the refer trailers to do the autopsies. They did everything they could to be respectful for the deceased. Some of these individuals weighed anywhere from 400 to 600 lbs.

Getting HD equipment inside small doors would be a challenge. I've even read of people who had to be removed from upper apartment floors with the aid of a crane just outside the window or wall, which had to be cut open larger.

Lifting heavy humans (or any nonrigid thing) by hand would be much harder than lifting the same weight in, say, lumber or aluminum.
