Odometer at 234,567.8 - couldn't resist taking the picture.But first, the crew meeting was fun tonight. We got to practice starting IV's (which is clearly beyond the scope of our training), but they gave us some quick training and let us practice finding veins on each other and inserting the needles into a dummy.
On the way home, Samara not only noticed the check engine light flashing on and off, but had the presence of mind to say "Dad, why is the ...." The engine temp gauge was pegged on "H". We were able to pull over at a gas station / mini-mart, let the car cool down and add a gallon of water to the radiator. So far I've noticed that the radiator cap is toast - worn, cracked gasket, not suitable for use. We'll see if there's a hose also leaking.
Hopefully I can get the car back together so that I can drive to and from Scout Camp tomorrow.
For tonight: mileage: 42 miles; July to Date=618.

Chaelomen thinks I'm a wierdo because I'm watching the odometer for patterns. Haha. Glad I'm not the only one.
...watching for patterns? You guys are weird! :)
They don't train cops in IVs. Not even for practice. I think they have an idea what it would be like if they gave a bunch of cops sharp objects and told them to practice a skill they wouldn't be allowed to use.
And to think that scouts not only get to play with needles, but also guns.
my poor little car :(
indeed... is fester the green one or the blue one?
I caught our trip odometer at 777 77 once. That was freaky. Like some kind of sign of the rapture... and yet I'm still here...
fester is the one you drove. haha... sucks that all of us are still here after that sign of the rapture... oh well...
I've always wondered (sign of the rapture), with the meek inheriting the earth, do I want to the one that's taken or the one that's left behind. Can't quite figure that out...
