Jake, you are talking to a seasoned drinker. After all, I went to college! Sometimes you learn to take it slow, and you learn what you can drink without waking up the next morning with a massive headache.
FWIW, lets open a bottle of Jack. I could drink circles around you.
ya wanna try kiddo??
BTW, this is the "freezer stock"
there are 3 1 gallon decanters of jack on top of the fridge.
Morning all! Hope everyone had a good night. I was back up at the crack of dawn and back at work.
Ed, excellent advice. If you drink, stay where you are or get a cab or DD. I have worked about 10 Drunk Driving fatalities over the past 16 years or so and countless others that involved serious injuries.
And, the carnage you see in most of these crashes is unbelievable. I have seen many crashes where body parts have been separated from the bodies. Decapitations, amputated arms, legs, feet, hands, you name it. I've had to deal with drunks wandering out on to railroad tracks and getting run over by trains. Drunks getting obliterated by passing tractor trailers on the interstate. I've pretty much seen it all and there's little that actually shocks me anymore. The absolute worst ones are kids though. Try delivering a death message to a mom or dad about a child that's been killed by a drunk driver or having to deal with people trapped in a car with their dead family members. Yep, been there, done that.
I know it sounds like one of those drunk driving commercials but don't drink and drive...period. I would much rather be able to talk to all of you on here everyday than have to circulate RIP posts and threads about you on here anytime, any day.
we had one here about 10 years ago John.
the call came in as a car into an old closed up gas station with partial building collapse.
when we got on scene, there was not a partial, but a total building collapse. it took 6 hours to get enough cleared away to access the car. that was when we found out there appeared to be 2 victims in the car. we saw a head, and a set of feet.
2 more hours of shoring and digging revealed that it was only one person, with a broken back. his feet were behind his head.
he came down the road into town at what was later determined to be between 115 and 120 mph, and missed a turn. he sideswiped a power pole, then went airborne off the berm on the shoulder of the road, flew over 150ft, and plowed into the building, bring it down on top of him.
when we finally got him out of the car over 9 hours after driving off the road, he was still sound asleep, and did not wake up totally paralyzed till 2 days later.
Oddly enough Jake and I got into this conversation last night before anyone started talking about booze on here.
I don't think you have to worry about either one of us, Ed. Jake is smart enough to not drink and drive and I just plain old flat out don't drink. Period. End of sentence.
Congrats on the new job, Ed.
Now as a congratulations I'll let you send me the battery tray from a 99 E350.
Pretty funny ain't it Pete.
Congrats on the new job Ed.
oh, and for those of you wondering about the 24 hour delay in my postings, it is because i got called into work last night at 10 pm, and did not get home till 6 pm today.
