Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days
Where do you think this happened?
It was quite the weekend. Not in the super-happy-funtimes-SENANICANS way, though.
Friday--got to Marquette, marched the Homecoming parade. No big deal, just pretty cold outside and windy as hell. After that, I got to friends' house where I am staying and learned they have no heat or power due to a storm that went through the night before. Oh well.
Saturday--woke up to still no power. Cold shower in the dark after a night with no heat= not so awesome. Headed back in to Marquette with my friends (a husband and wife expecting their firstborn next month) for 4 hours of rehearsal (and I give my friend a ton of credit--that rehearsal tired me out, I couldn't imagine doing that 8 months along), followed by the band alumni lunch. After said lunch, start heading up to the fine arts building to prepare for the march down. We pull up to the intersection to leave the sports complex area (3rd and Fair, for those familiar with Marquette), intersection looks clear except for a car on Fair about to turn right in to the driveway we're pulling out of. As we start to go straight through the intersection, the other car changes his mind at the last second and accelerates right in to us. First words out of Pregnant Friend's mouth, "is everyone OK?". Second words? "My stomach hurts." Ohhhhhhh shiiiit. I call 911 and report the accident/get an ambulance on the way. Get out of the car, have words with the other driver's college-aged son when the emergency crews show up (He thought the ambulance was a "bit much", I informed him that the car his father just hit had a woman who was 8 months pregnant who was now having contractions, so that's why we brought that in for this "little fender bender". (Side note--said other car had Wisconsin plates, and the entire family were complete and utter doooshnozzles, and I was 2 seconds away from doling out hammerfalconpunches.)) In the meantime, friends of ours (both called and who happened to be there) start arriving on the scene to help us out. Since the hospital was only 5 blocks away, I went with Pregnant Friend in another friend's car to the ER, while Pregnant Friend's husband stayed at the scene to sort that out and caught a ride with a different set of friends to the ER afterwards. (His family also happened to be in town, thank goodness.) After about 45 minutes at the ER, we find out that Pregnant Friend and her baby are fine, but they kept her on the monitor for a few more hours just to be sure. Husband got a ticket for failure to yield, even though the cop admitted it really wasn't his fault and that the other driver was a complete assbag. Since I was fine and wasn't allowed back in to the OB area with them, I just decided to go to the game anyway because I had literally nothing else to do and no way of getting back to get my car to go anywhere else. Marched the game (which went fine except for the whole losing thing). Alternated between explaining why Pregnant Friend and Husband weren't there and telling people that, yes, I knew there was an accident, I was in the farking back seat when it happened. Game ends just as Pregnant Friend was released from the hospital. Ditch my aftergame plans and just go back to their house to decompress. Husband's dad starts handing out drinks almost as soon as we're in the door to the house, which was much appreciated. KBC never tasted so good.
Sunday--far less eventful. Baby shower, Lions game, then drove home.
I need a weekend to recover from this weekend. Hell, maybe to recover from the last 2 weeks.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days
Morning lodge. Just found out our coach (Joe Marsh) is taking an indefinite medical leave. He has a chronic arthritic condition that prevents him from wearing a skate/shoe and stand behind the bench. He missed 4 games with the condition last year, and did this to prevent the "Is he here/not here/??!" stuff that went on a bit last year. We still have 2 fantastic assistant coaches (Mike Hurlbut and Greg Carvel, both with professional playing/coaching experience) so it isn't time to panic yet, but Joe is definitely in the top 10 for national coaches. Sucky Monday.

Also, the friends that I hung out with last night are the ones that work for mother mining.
You're probably working with some of my friends. I will warn them about you.Haha, nope. Different division.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days
It was somewhere on M28 on Friday morning. I think it was between Ewen and Bergland, but it could have been between Bergland and Wakefield. Were you driving the yellow car?

For the record, I think everyone tipped quite well last night, we had an excellent meal and great service.
Should you be saying that about your relatives?You can tell because they didn't tip?

Grrrrr..... At work, waiting on my one client. almost didn't bother to come in today, but had a call from somebody wanting to come in right as I was calling the boss back about coming in. I do think they're interviewing on of my AAIMT classmates today, so it would be cool to see her. will see how that goes.
Well, go get a massage then.Good Morning RB!

Don't you need like a place to house this man cave? Are you gonna put it on the boat?
Same here. Almost hit a guy thursday who turned left into a gas station in front of me. Lucky I was on the brakes before I tagged him in his rear quarter of his truck. He got the horn from me and the finger from Mom.

Goldy, check your rep for the answer to the question you repped me earlier today. I can give you more details sometime, but preferably not on the board, just so the joke can continue to live on.

Unfortunately, probably not. There's a hiring freeze that just started.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days
Nah, I plan on figuring out my living situation come spring/summer. I'm leaning towards buying at this point (since I'm only "home" 4 months/year, it would seem silly to rent, although the maintenance when I'm away from the house would be taken care of most likely if I rent...), but I'll make that decision closer to next year.
I WILL have an ultimate man cavethedral though. That is like priority number 1.3
