Responded to an auto accident today. While responding to the scene, got an update from a Chief who happened to be in the area reporting a motorcycle down in the road.

I got to the scene and saw the ass end of a bike hanging out from underneath a minivan. My first thought of course was ‘Is the rider still under there?’.  As I was stepping out of the Ambulance to check out the scene, I saw the rider come walking toward me from across the parking lot.

Apparently, he saw he was going to collide with the minivan, so he ditched the bike. The bike slid under the ass end of the minivan while he slid off to the side. My man was totally fine. We convinced him to goto the ER to get checked out due to the speeds involved, but I firmly believe he went home an hour later down a bike. Sucks to be missing a bike man, but you’ve still got your life, eh?

That was not the solution. I’ll be working more on it tonight.

Damn. I’m getting the ‘Green Screen of Death’, followed by a reboot. Over and over and over … I may have found the resolution. I’ll know in a few minutes. Damn.

(I suspect that ‘-s 127 -r 4′ in the mfsrestore portion may be the key.)

A friend sent me teh URL to a TomTom GPS  after finding out I am in the market for a GPS that will work on my bike and can be used for geocaching. Anybody have any experience with this unit, and/or TomTom in general?

Help?

I believe the trick to doing a Guided Setup on a Tivo without using a phone line, is to use a wired ethernet USB nugget, and use the following dialing prefix.

,#401 (comma pound four zero one)

I’ll be able to confirm that in about an hour I hope.

Circus was SWEET. Had both my boys out until 2200. Heh. It was worth it. The youngest won’t remember it tomorrow. The older one will remember it for years to come. He about shit himself with every round of insanity. They had this sphere they wheeled out into the middle of the arena. They then had *SEVEN* guys on dirtbikes drive into it and they were driving all over the entire inner surface of it. It was insanity. I don’t understand how it is possible that they did not wreck. I do not believe there was enough room inside there for all of those bikes, even after having seen it with my own eyes. Damn.

I’ll be taking the kids to the Circus tomorrow. It’ll be the first time for either of them. Additionally, it’ll be the first time I’m aware of that I will be going. I wonder how that’s going to turn out?

In theory, I’ll be bringing my mom, who would be the primary reason I’ve never been to one. She was always against the idea of the Circus and Zoos. She didn’t dig the idea of animals being kept in captivity. I suspect that she has mellowed with age. We shall see. I have no idea if she is coming or not. We shall see.

UPS claims that I’ll have the new drive for my Tivo tomorrow by the time I get home from the circus. Hopefully that’ll fly. I can’t wait to get that back in order. During it’s down time, my wife has laid claim to mine. So mixed in with COPS, Paramedic and ‘Life in the ER’ I’ve got ‘Deal or no deal’, ‘Are you smarter than a fifth grader’ and other such nonsense. I need to resolve that shit post haste. Damn.

Motorcycle.

First comes BMW.

Audi responds.

Subaru gets involved.

Bentley has the final word.

Got to duty tonight with plans on getting a bunch of paperwork and misc bullshit taken care of. Apparently that was not in the cards for me. I’ve been running calls from the time I got the unit ready to roll until now. When it rains it pours I guess. Looks like I’ll be doing the paperwork this weekend. I go no time for this noise. Damn.
