    The fact that I’m on hour 15 of 24 and I’ve run 12 calls already and just got back to the station for the first time since 8:08 and our shift starts at 8:00.

    looks like what I ran into last night- on my way home at 0130 and got a highway split where it's basically the same A or B. I chose...poorly.Overnight construction zone down to one lane with concrete barriers and no shoulders; less than half mile into my choice got to a dead stop where a crane had tipped over onto the highway...dead stop for almost 30 minutes.

    That looks like one hell of a scene. How long did it burn?
    I appreciate it. All in a days work. Some days are better than other. Yesterday was just one of those **** shifts

    We had to slowly reduce the tension and redo those today. Not a real good feeling messing with those death traps.

    Some things around the house I like to DIY. Not ones that could very well kill me. Electricity and high-tension spring steel I'll leave to the pros.
    Braver man than I!

    I knew a guy that thought he could change the tension on his. He found out how fast his teeth could be removed from his mouth!! Cured me from ever wanting to try.
