Oh man, Stan, the shivers just went up and down my spine. I hate them things! What flavor of snake?

Had a scare last weekend. Saturday night, Wyatt, my 3 year old son, wasnt feeling good and threw up a couple times while we were at a family BBQ. We decided he should go home, so I left with the twin boys and the wife and daughter (without a cell phone) went to another family function. In the backseat on the way home, Wyatt had a seizure. I was about 4 miles from the hospital, so I put the gas pedal to the wood and away we flew. Ford trucks are governed at 94. About 2 miles from the hospital, a state trooper pulled me over. As he got out, I told him I was on the line with 911 and my son was having a seizure. The ambulance got there and they figured it wasnt too serious. At the ER, they determined is was a fibrile seizure which is temperature induced and no big deal. In fact, the ER doc said if it happens again we dont need to even bring him in! It would happen to anyone in those conditions and there is no medical issues with it whatsoever. The combination of the hot, humid day, his sudden onset fever, and throwing up (mildly dehydrated) is what caused it. Pretty darn scary though. Oh, and the wife may just carry her cell phone a bit more!

For those of you with kids, make sure they stay cool and hydrated especially if they show signs of being sick. This happened really fast.

Quite a scare B, glad it worked out like it did.

Same thing happen to my neighbors boy a couple years ago... A very scary deal for any parent.. And the hospital said the exact same thing... I guess they were told it happens to boys from the ages 3 to 5 yrs old is very common...

Since that happened i make sure both my kids drink lots of water on those hot days....

Scary indeed. I have have a 3 year old niece that has seizures whenever she has a high temp.

Add me to the list of snake haters. Infact you can put me at the top of the list.

There isn't a lot that creeps me out but snakes are one of them.

Wow! Glad it worked out. That is scary stuff. Getting too hot does goofy stuff to you, add dehydration to the mix and you knever know what's going to happen.

Not sure.. you mean the can in the bottom of this pic? that's orange pop.

Glad things are ok with the boy BM.

You guys are all a bunch of girly boys. Snakes don't bother me, as long as they are not poisonous. When we were at the shack I had one peek through the door at me in the outhouse. It was a cute little bugger. Wasn't even as big aroung as my pinky.

My camera is going to be here tomorrow. I have to stick around to sign for it, so I hope it comes in the morning. I am so EXCITED!!!!

Stopped by to say Hi! Muffy!!

Snakes...shes right, you guyz are a bunch of girlymen...


And orange pop in PWMs hand....sure.....RWS went with the " Root Beer" line after you snapped that pic of him drinking and driving when he was twelve....

What kind of camera Muffy?

I was at Target the other day and saw they had a DSLR Cannon Rebel EOS T3 or t2 like that for $499, with a lens. It was the one that takes 720p video. The other one took 1080p HD video.

I have an Cannon EOS Rebel but it's a 35mm film, so it doesn't get much use anymore.

I love a boat ride on a river. Addicted to it actually. I bet the boy thought he was doing 120. Seems like it somehow, on the water.

Tom if you saw a T2i for 500, especially as a kit.. better buy really quick.. If you saw T3i kits for the same price, buy as many as you can, add 50%-75% and sell em to guys who shop their fingers off online but don't think to look at target lol.

We hit it again tonight. Nice night.



log jam.. I sense critter....



lets zoom in...



damn! that's what I call a meat turtle! he aint no shell turtle, he's mostly meat!





He took a swim before I could get the engine killed and take a nice still photo, oh well.

Fish on!!

I'm pretty sure it was t2 that was 500, but I don't remember seeing the "i". Maybe I should look again. I'm sure it's a step down from the more "professional" grade, especially since it's at target.

Well, the picture didn't show up but...this is what I found. There is a difference between the t3i and the t3

Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55IS Lens - Black �Megapixels: 12.2 Megapixels
�Camera Features: 1080p HD Movie Recording

Sooting back up the river towards the truck.

I see, well I don't know where they start calling them a pro grade cam, maybe the 7D? (very nice but pricy) Heck if I know. The T2i ans 3i are still in the rebel family. That sounds like a pretty nice camera & with an 18-55 image stabilizing lens it sure sounds like a good deal.

Is that eener dawg getting ready for take-off in that pic?

You best be carefull how fast you travel with him out in the open like that so he dosen't fly away.

He's crazy for fishing, very interested in every cast expecting to see a new fish splashing around. He's really into it, pretty funny.
