Hey uhhh.  .....

 

I MIGHT be a bad influence. 

Uhh… @ebinmaine 😁I forgot about those.. I’m not sure about bad but definitely an influence. So, with this pile of tractors/parts does that mean I’m an influencer too? I knew there was a reason for adding that patch to my signature…🤣

Absolutely! 

 

I tend to dislike "new" terms and such. But from now on when I win an auction item or a classified ad, I'm going to call myself a First Responder!

I say this as a joke- but have the utmost respect for real first responders! 

 

Just for clarification....

Actually,    that would make you a LAST Responder.

Isn’t that technically a Mortician?

While living in a small central New York community I became a volunteer fireman/EMT. One of the other EMTs was our local Funeral Director/Mortician, being a very small town most people knew who he was. When he was tending to an ill oy injured person they would wonder if he was feeling mixed emotions while helping save their lives.

Reminds me of that old joke about the guy whose father taught him his whole life to “always cut out the middleman.”  The day came he fell ill and told his son to call the doctor only to see the undertaker coming up the drive shortly thereafter.

Years ago, when my grandfather was the pastor of the UM church in Duncannon PA he and his friend Ron Smith, who owned the local funeral home, volunteered with the local EMT service. There was a particular ambulance driver they were often paired with who would wait until the patient was stable and then joke that the patient was lucky, because if something went wrong the priest and the undertaker were already there.

I noticed you said "motorcycles". This statement tells me that your wife already knows that you like to collect things.
