Bougies=good. Zoll monitors=meh. Black Box in each truck="road safety" which means get used to hearing "tap tap tap tap tap tap".

Yep. The tapping means you're doing it right lol.

Our Road Safety is being switched out for GeoTab. So far it doesn't seem as sensitive and is less annoying.

Thank god they took the road safety systems out of our rigs. That tapping is obnoxious! Although I asked for it back when I had my shiny new partner to help her learn to drive with me in the back.

Went from Road Safety to DriveCam and now are switching over to iDrive.

It's incredible how often the cameras are on in the rig without you even knowing it. Cab door opening, code lights activating, code lights deactivating, g-forces, over 80 (or 85, I can't remember) MPH and manual activation with the red button. Pretty sure there's more but I can't remember them.

Got some more ink done today. Is it considered an addiction if you have weekly appointments running for the next few months? Gotta finish this arm then starting on the other. Also considered starting the back piece to join them together. Decisions, decisions.

I was almost just one myself while doing yard work.

Im not near as acclimated to the heat as I thought I was.

I'm about to make myself one in a minute :D Getting ready to go for a run :p

There have been 10 calls or so in the entire valley today. This sucks. I'm so bored. None for us yet since 8am. It's now 3pm.

Ambulance decided to be cute and lock us out with a pt on the gurney getting ready to load them... then decides to be even cuter and unlock right as the second unit showed up...Take that one out of service and get another frontline unit...The headlight wigwag is stuck on in this one so they continually flash no matter what...

Can nothing be easy this bid!? Pain in my ***.

Two third rides at the new place with no calls. Nonetheless the boss emails me today asking if I can keep working after my third ride ends at the station across time. Hmmm I don't think so.

We couldn't resist slipping the medic unit in with the apparent cop car show.

This just cracked me up.
