I've been tempted to sign up for the PP marathon, but I'm afraid going from sea level to a starting elevation of 7,000' is going to kill me... Leadville is very tempting too, but I think that stays closer to 9-10k feet... [emoji15][emoji21]
Yea you would need to spend 2+ weeks out here to do something like that. The incline however is much less work, I make my parents do it when they come visit from sea level.

Yesterday was truly a great day. Wife got a new job, rental house has a new tenant, starting my FTO rides at the new PRN service with the most flexible schedule I've ever seen, got hired to teach ACLS at the hospital and just landed a sweet consulting job for a client I'd been been pitching for a year.

This is the start of a very good year!

so so so tired of studying. I wish I had scheduled my exam sooner.

In other news, Jon Stewert quit The Daily Show. Now if weren't for Jimmy Fallon I would be able to cancel my hulu acct.
I used to watch that show every day. It's been years since I've watched it other than the occasional episode. Still love his show and was sad to hear this.

Could be worse... It could have already gone boom. Fortunately for me, I don't have to worry about CE's for a while. Only 30 hours for RN by 2017 (exempt for the first cycle) and summer 2016 to do 48 hours for medic. If I'm careful, I should be able to get courses that will count for both.

Nice. Thats one of the perks as I already have the CE's to renew my state card, which expires in 2016.

What happened? Are you running up against the clock? I had to do that one year, I remember our CME software actually timed from when you logged in to a course to when you could start the self exam. So frustrating, some where like 45 minutes others were 3 hours.

No I've been doing all this for about 5 months now. I was sitting at 40 hours a couple days ago and I just said screw it and spent 2 days just hammering them out. My NR expires at the end of next month, so 24 hrs (acts as a refresher through a different CE provider) is all I have to do. Not to bad if I do 2 a day. I'll have it done in no time.

That's not bad... Eventually I might renew my nremtp card. Been current with the state license since I got it. It shouldn't be too horrible an experience... And I shouldn't have to take the exam again because I'm still current with the state.

Even if I have to take the exam again, I still keep the license anyway... Regardless of outcome.

My shift has been doing this once a week for the month. It's called the incline and is the remains of an old cog railroad. A 2000 vertical foot climb over about 3/4 of a mile. I'm gonna go back to sleep now.
Are there actually people...running...up that hill?

You're a sick, sick man Tigger...:D

Running? Surely you jest. My goal is just to get up the damn thing without stopping. Right now it takes me about 38 minutes, the record is 17 and there is a girl (high school aged) currently doing it in 20.

Also the picture shows what is the worst false summit ever. At the top of the picture you are 75% done.
