Haha, I know. That's what sucks about my phone, it takes a great picture, but there's no auto focus, so I have to be perfectly still when I snap the pic, obviously I failed

 

I don't like Jeeps, but I would definitely drive that one. =]

 

X2 on that one.

 

jangled nerves causing shakey pics after tackling that handicapped ramp... <-- i dont blame you one bit. Would have been a tough one to explain when nanna came out and needed to load her rascal scooter though

 

Hahaha, it wasn't a handicapped ramp though, it was just the ending of the sidewalk where it led into the parking lot/plaza.

 

Tonight I went to dinner with the wife and some frineds. Right before the check came, we got a call from the home care nurse saying that my special needs daughter took a tumble, brain first, off the couch. Luckily the fall was broken by our coffee table's nicely honed edge. My wife started freaking out and I had to ****** the phone, direct the nurse to all of my hoarded (thanks Army) first aid stuff (head dressing and gauze this time) and got rolling. Friends took the wife home and I got to dash out of a resturant with out paying (wife got it). BTW: if you ever get the opportunity to dash out of a resturaunt, do it. The looks on people's faces were PRICELESS!

Anyway I got to baja out of the parking lot, through the mean streets of Gresham, to my home, load up he kid, and roll to the ER. My UW skillz paid off HUGE! When people were stacked up 2 deep trying to go straight when i needed a right turn, i knew my vehicle was capable of a curb crawl allowing me to use the sidewalk and bike lane to bypass the masses. When i remembered i have a handicapped parking permit for when my daughter is with me, i was able to drive through a small dirt island to score better parking.

To all of the UW nay sayers: I challenge you to find a practical use for your off-roading experiences. not a lot of people go into diabetic shock when the only vending machine is on the other side of a 30' long mud pit, or at the top of a rocky butte

i even snapped pics to back up this harrowing story

 

Ouch, is she okay?

 

Glad your taking it well lol, But as papa asked, How is she?

 

Hope shes okay man

 

wow guys. thanks for the well wishes. i have become sort of numb to all the crap that has happened to her over the years. since she was 2 months old and they jabbed an iv into her scalp it's been all down hill. i use humor to keep from blowing my brains out when she tries to die on me

yeah she's a trooper. took 8 staples to the nugget. 3 with out flinching, 2 more saying "ow" and the last 3 demanding a "poscle". needless to say, she mopped up with 2 popsicles

back home and sleeping it off (hence the posting on BF )
