Wow - Thanks for the pics SandySu and Samuraijill !! Just gorgeous! The Finger Lakes region is familiar to me because I used to travel that way for a show in Clayton. When people think of New York their minds tend to get stuck on New York City - but it's a lovely state. Now Oregon - That looks very alien to me. Absolutely beautiful, but different from what I'm accustomed to!

You have a sun roof too!!!!

We do. Take your umbrella.

 

[CarrieD]

Been there, done that! It was February - And I stood up really FAST!

Never forget your first time.

I'm enjoying the shots, too. We get fall foliage here, but it's pretty poor this year. We had a lot of rain, and one minute it seemed ready to peak, and the next, the leaves were on the ground. There are some places that still look good, though. Driving to the barn yesterday, there was a lovely scene with a plowed field in the foreground, then a cornfield, all brown, and behind that a farmhouse and barn with colorful trees behind that. Maybe today on my way to visit Penny, I'll pull over to the side of the road and try to get a good photo to share.

Please do if you can, that would be great.

Actually - Thank You Meddog. I was feeling pretty silly about posting these pictures. I mean, you folks are out and about all day, and you know what trees look like. Most probably you've seen much prettier scenes than these this fall. But I haven't been away from my home in over two weeks. I was going to go out today, but my bod is not cooperating. This is my world. It takes my breath away, and I just wanted to share it with my friends.

I can't speak for the rest of the gang, but I could go for one a day until it snows. after that, well, white is pretty much white, I guess, but what do I know. I've only seen the stuff a couple of times, and it was more like, cream is cream... and oh, crap don't skid into that tree.

Well, I look at it this way: As an EMS provider, I must get the patient's trust within the first 30 seconds of our encounter. Some people might appreciate a well placed facial piercing, but, the 80 year old patient with dementia who I must honor because he can tell me tales of WW2 deserves to have a provider he instantly trusts. For that reason, mainstream is what we do. The elderly patient does not understand (and I'm generalizing so ya'll don't dis me please) our need to put foreign objects in our tongue, face, ear cartlige etc etc, nor should he have to think about that when he calls 911. In EMS we are the cops of health care, we have to look like someone that everyone would trust regardless of the situation.
Now... back to your regularly scheduled volt-o-gram.

I agree with you on the rules, if that was the deal made, then you must adhere to your agreement.

We only see suits on Wall Street because we are taught that "Those people" wear suits or that salary/pay rate should dictate fashion. I find it baffling that people will accept food or beverages from the less sterotypically normal looking person where those are the people that you need to have trust in the most, but they will not work with them in an office.

I need that face palm graphic but I'm too lazy to go find it suffice it to say I'm banging my head on my keyboard. /ls/lNsdn/flzdf,kerp;'sd;vldg m, mx.

Glad he made it though and "grew up" - it only speaks of "Your" proficiency as an "Instructor/Professor" - especially their ability to "Learn" from you . . . View attachment 59069

However, I hope you find this interesting and just as an FYI - you're going to have to change that "statement" in that syllabus of yours again, because I happen to know very well that "Blue" is found in "Natural" Hair color not just "on," more specifically - the color "Blue" is an undertone and/or part of the color spectrum of "Black" hair:

Black hair is the darkest and most common of all human hair colors globally. It is a dominant genetic trait, and it is found in people of all backgrounds and ethnicities. It has large amounts of eumelanin and is less dense than other hair colors. Black hair is known to be the shiniest of all hair colors. Black hair can be slightly rufous, soft black, or blue-black. Sometimes black hair can appear to shine silver-blue in the sun.[1] In English, black hair is sometimes described as "jet-black" or "raven black". The range of skin colors associated with black hair is vast, ranging from the palest of skin tones to an olive complexion to dark skin. Black-haired humans can have dark or light eyes. Black hair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia​

P.S. Also, as another FYI: the reason why I know this kind of stuff - before I became a Social Worker and Counselor - My major previous profession was . . . Get Ready for this. . . since 1972 when I got out of High school I have worked as a Hairstylist/Colorist and I hold 4 different State Licensees in Cosmetology . . .

Now isn't that ironic, to go from working on the "outside of the head" to the "inside of the head" View attachment 59071

Isn't it - WONDERFUL - how we keep sharing information ! ! ! Well at least - I hope it is

I noticed that the Volt PCCs for the starter kits are sold out Will these be out again soon?
Im dieing to order! I am so sick of my little Volcanos and so excited to try Volt!

New ones are coming soon, according to Imagine - they are in production now. Are you away from home enough you'd absolutely need a PCC? You could always order a starter kit without, then buy one later, or even order a starter kit plus an extra battery or two to get you through your day, (you can't beat the price of the older autos right now.) If you're out and about, a car charger might work for you, too. Last I spoke to customer service, they were out of the car chargers, but I have one here I'd be glad to send your way if you'd like. PM me your address if you want it. It won't work with a passthrough, but it will charge batteries just fine.

It is wonderful, Uncle. And so are you.

 

[CarrieD]

lol....

to confirm:

the current slider is about 14mm deep... the new one is 20mm deep the other dimensions are exactly the same as the slider (but correct it will no longer slide open....it will "pop" open). ...and yes the battery is a bit heavier and much bigger it is more then double the slider it is 2200mAh ... it will not have the same exact look as the slider but will still be sleek

I like sleek. Sleek is good.

Here are some autumn photos from the Finger Lakes. I took these today on my way from my house to the barn and back.

Gorgeous!! My kind of country.

 

[CarrieD]

we are working on those as well...designing them from the ground up

Thanks for mentioning it leads me to a few questions for the group.

Would being able to hold 4 batts/4cartos and a pocket for a bottle of juice/more cartos be what everyone is looking for out of a carrying case?

That sounds just perfect for traveling, or even day tripping. Would it be a hard case? And what size bottle did you have in mind?

How can you say that? Snow is so pretty. It might be dangerous, but ice is more so. Look at this lovely Christmas-card church in my hometown and say that's not pretty, all adorned with white.

What's a face palm graphic?

Gorgeous!! My kind of country.

I think my area has a very Midwestern feel to it. I don't know quite why I think that, but it's just the kind of feeling the land gives me here.

I agree. Having been with a close friend who was suffering a stroke and had a terrible fear of all things medical, I couldn't agree with you more. He wasn't elderly, (60), and I didn't give him any choice about calling 911, but he did argue and bargain with the EMS folks, and trust me, had one of them had piercings or a mohawk, he might have refused to go at all, stubborn ole cuss.

When the do-do hits the fan, people seek the safe and familiar. They are terrified and vulnerable and seriously need to be able to feel they trust care providers - immediately. They have no choice about who shows up to help them, and precious little other criteria to judge other than appearance. Our appearance may not tell the whole story of who we are, but if your job is working with people in crisis, the last thing they need to deal with is the unknown.
