I am a locum CRNA. Kathy and I, and two of our three children travel around the country from contract to contract at various hospitals. We usually stay about 3-5 months before packing up our fifth wheel and heading on to the next. Kathy home schools the kids and keeps up the business end of our little company. We just got into this motorcycle thing, we bought two BMW's 650gs, (after passing the MSF course) why anyone would want anything else is beyond me. We transport them behind the cab of our Volvo 770 (for you class 8 designers/mechanics, have our CDL's)

Best part is doing anesthesia and interacting with people, I love being a nurse.

Worse part is sitting here baby sitting an epidural when I could be out riding.

Kind of long but been wanting to say hello and thanks for all the great info.

I'm up in Tillamook, OR now so who knows. C-sec's are becoming more popular even for women that don't need them but just want to beable to schedule the time of delivery.

I understand that Honda has a new model made just for those 6 month old bikers!!

Well, my wife has already had two "C's". She likes to have babies too big for her to deliver. That's the reason for the scheduled C this time. Now about that baby Honda....

1. Freelance sound engineer. stage lighting and stage tech.

2. Different situations and different people to work with all the time.

3. Very long hours and mass hysteria followed by periods of no work. Seems like everything hits all at once. Sometimes much more work than we can handle.
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.

1. I supervise a carpentry/maintenance shop for the county school system.

2. State employee benefits; predictable hours; good people.

3. Forty-six facilities/ ten men. Budget cut-backs. It seems the vandalism problem gets worse every day.
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?
