TEWKS Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 That was a good one! One of our ambulances did a 360* coming down an icy hill some years back. No patient at the time. I’ve done some slip & sliding in the engine but nothing like that. Link to comment

Rougarou Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 18 minutes ago, MikeB60 said: No thanks! In 2015, I had the luxury of riding a 190' flat bottom boat through a few days of 25'+ waves,......it was just like that. On one of my cruises while active duty, while eating, you'd have to pick up your feet, pick up your tray and glass, allow the slide across the deck, put everything back down, take a few bites, and do it again to slide the other way. My recent excursion aboard a ship, one of the newbies asked me why I hold my glass while eating,......."cause you never know when the waves will come" Here's from my 2015 ride 1 1 Link to comment

Rinkydink Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Kind of gray this morning so I asked Siri , “surely it’s not going to rain again today?” and she replied, “yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.” Then it hit me, I’d left my phone in airplane mode. 1 6 Link to comment

BrianT Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 For the Marine Corps vets, this is on R. Lee Ermey Road in Palmdale CA. Grooves were cut into the right side of the pavement to play the Marine Corps Hymn if you hold 45 mph while driving over it. Turn the sound up. I gotta try this on my bike. It's a good way to get people to slow down. 8 1 Link to comment

After spending most of my adult life at sea as a professional mariner I've done that more times than I care to count. Eating??? What's eating?? Chef can't cook, nobody can get near the galley, and don't EVEN think of opening the refridgerator door!!!! Sleep??? Try to get low and aft and wedge youself in. And me as engineer, pray that nothing to serious breaks (but it always does). 2 Link to comment

Rougarou Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Man, I wished I had this last week. Swapping the 36v golf cart's lead acid batteries to LifePo4, I had no handles to pick up those lead acid battry's. I ended up grabbing some 12ga home wire and doing a loop, but this is pure genius.
