We help each other quit, so why not share knowlege of a topic that you have personal experience in!

My wife surprised me with a birthday trip in February to Parks City, Utah. Anyone been there and want to share any do's or don'ts?

I'm afraid I don't know bout the area around Salt Lake City, but Utah is incredible backpacking and hiking. I don't know how long you'll be there or if you'll want to spend a night or two away from the city, but I had to choose, I'd go to Moab and Arches.

My brother and I are going to spend a week backpacking in the Escalante National Monument this fall.

I am not doubting that it is great for backpacking, but I have a better chance winning the lottery than getting my wife to sleep outdoors in February in Utah!

don't you worry a bit it's not cold there this time of year. It's like a banna belt, I wouldn't even take a coat if I were you.

Glad to see that you made it back from the rigs, you might need to WAKE UP! HAHA

For the record, Park City was really nice. Skiing was great and the people real nice. Lot's of little shops and pretty good food. Really liked the "No Name Saloon" for food and evening beverage.

Does anyone know anything about residential wind turbines or solar panals?? I'm thinking about installing at least a wind turbine as the wind is usually blowing and sometimes howling up on this hill they parked my house.

I have thought about this as well, there are several websites out there. Some made me feel nervous about them though.

same here, but I bit the bullet and sent $50 to the power4home guy to get his books and other material. We'll see, I guess I've wasted more $$$ on dumber shit in the past

Well you will have to see if it works, and if it does, I 'll give you $25 for the used books!

Depends on your definition of "works" Did it work to relieve me of 50 bucks? YES so in that case it works and you owe me $25

Wait so was it really a bust?

shhhh no not a bust yet I'm just hedging my bet a little trying to con Kojak out of $30 S/H fees too buddy

You have to have 30 bucks first! Besides you still owe me for that last sheep I sold you!

Is anyone knowledgeable about handheld drills? The kind a carpenter uses?

This is no joke, I just need some basic information and need it quickly.

Let me know and I'll PM you.

Thank you, and stay quit my brothers.

Uhm yeah, did carpentry work for 15 years probably could help you out. I am a little worried about the urgency here though. PM me..

Needhlp

Oh no... this brings back memories.... Is there anyone licensed to practice medicine in CWC's state? Perhaps a surgeon who can remove a drill bit from his left orbital septum?

You're closer than you think, Ohioman--I'm trying to ascertain which type of non-surgical drill bit would work best on human flesh and bone when there's no time (or now way) to take someone suffering from intracranial bleeding to the hospital. I'd guess the same kind of drill bit that is used on plastics would work best on a human skull. I've got a member of the medical community helping me, but I may have some questions for Needhelp or others down the road. Needhelp, I'm glad you're back and doing what you can to stay quit.

When one of my workers has intracranial bleeding, we get 'er done right with a Stanley Titanium-coated 1 1/ inch paddle bit. One hole relief guaranteed every time.We tried using 1/32 standard drill bits, but you gotta drill like 100 holes to get any good pressure release.

Haven't any of you geezers seen House?
Any industrial drill will effectively decrease intercranial pressure and help the blood drain out. even just a small 1.4-1/8 inch hole.

Yeah, I watch it all the time but am so old I forgot that line. The other thing is Dr. House is so nice to everyone it makes me want to puke. I need my protagonists to be a little bit more hostile. ..Anyway, I think I have free reign on this scene I'm writing. The trick is to move it along so quickly, like in the Bourne Identity movies, that the audience doesn't have time to question the science. On the other hand, I will try to keep the scene grounded in reality. Thanks for your input.

Man, anything I can think up has already really happened. I guess that's a good thing coz than it's realistic but still unique. See below--

Doctor uses home drill to save boy's lifeARJUN RAMACHANDRAN
May 20, 2009

A country doctor has saved the life of a 13-year-old boy by using a household drill to drill a hole in his skull after a bicycle accident.

Nicholas Rossi was not wearing a helmet when he fell off his bike late on Friday while riding outside a friend's house in Maryborough, 170 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.

He hit his head on the pavement and was unconscious for 30 seconds, but recovered and appeared to be fine, his father Michael Rossi said.

But his mother Karen, a trained nurse, noticed a lump on Nicholas's head and decided to take him to the district hospital, where he experienced spasms and periods of unconsciousness.

Local GP Rob Carson recognised the symptoms of bleeding on the brain and realised he had just minutes to drill a hole to relieve the pressure.

"Basically what happened was Dr Carson came and saw us and his words were: `I've got one shot at this and one shot only - I'm going to have to drill into Nicholas's skull'," Mr Rossi told 2UE.

Dr Carson continued: `If it works he's going to reach Melbourne in a lot better condition than what he would if we don't do it'.

As Dr Carson powered up a household Dewalt drill taken from a maintenance room, Mr Rossi said his wife, a nurse, probably had a better handle on what was about to happen than he did.

"We felt numb because ... it's a surreal type of experience," he said.

"We could hear the shaver shaving his hair, could hear the drill drill, hear the suction doing its job."

Over the telephone, Melbourne neurosurgeon David Wallace walked him through the procedure.

Dr Carson drilled a hole just below the bruise mark, above Nicholas's ear, until a blood clot came out. He used forceps to increase the hole to about a centimetres in diameter, then inserted a drainage tube to keep the blood flowing out of the boy's skull.

Nicholas was flown to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital an hour later and was released on Tuesday - his 13th birthday

Nicholas was recovering well and had a very good party to celebrate his birthday, Mr Rossi said.

He paid tribute to all the Maryborough medical staff who had helped his son, and urged other parents to be more vigilant.

"You can't watch them 24 hours a day but make sure they wear their helmets," he said.

No prob boss, good luck!
