McGill McGot Him Again… Mikie is Down...

They should have just used their Chinook.

 

Is it OK if I use the emoji here? I mean, that is kinda funny if you look at it in the way that they were making sure everyone aboard would be safe. Now, if they had started throwing out tools, fuel cans, medical supplies, and the co-pilot's chair, I might have been offended, but they didn't so it's all good @Mikie!

 

Mine too. Got my A&P in 1979 and private pilots license in 1982.

 

Don't forget to tell them that muscle weighs more than fat.

 

If you were an e-biker they'd probably have dropped off 2 off two guys.

And really, what do they think there picking up, a 4 yr old at 50 lbs?

 

Go big or go home.

 

Nothing says you're a fat ass like an Erickson Sky Crane.

 

How did i miss this? Mikie praying for ur speedy recovery.. voodoo tom..thank u!
We could all use a friend like u...
I love mtbkin ... its not golfing... lets be...
Well who am i kidding... we gonna ride either way.....
Again brother mikie i am praying for ur complete recovery..
Take care...

 

Hey Mikie hey Mikie!
I just learned that my good friend and neighbor Casey Payne was one of the FF that evac’ed you outta there last wk. He’s a really good guy, we’ve been trail running together for yrs and I think he’s even mtn biked Pinos.
He asked about you today, I told him your alive and kicking...ready to get back on your bike
Hope you’re having a great day my friend

 

ouch! That’s just mean

 

This combination of words has been deemed hurtful.

 

If anyone felt hurt by my words or actions, I apologize.

And remember, Erkickson Skycrane is there for you when you need them.

 

@Cyclotourist @Faust29 and all others:

You have my express written permission to resume use of the (ridiculous) phrase "Go big or go home..." I have applied Velominati rule 5 and I am no longer phased by it.

 

How cool!
I remember a Casey that night. Was he one of the first responders with the local search and rescue? Well we are going to ride and pizza and brew are on me afterwards!

I got a PM from another one of the Fireman out in Palmdale. He introduced himself and said I invited him to join imtbtrails while being rescued. So everybody rest assured that even near death and comotose ... I am always promoting our site!

He paid the nicest compliment to you guys. He said he read through the crash post and said it was one of the nicest forum communities where people really care about each other! That made me real happy!

As well...
My Nephew Matt Watson now works at the Lebec Fire Department as a Hot Shot. Said they had a briefing on some jack wad mountain biker who lost control of his bike and had to be rescued (they did’t say it like that). Stated that they wanted to work on response time to be more efficient.
My Nephew’s sister Rebecca sent this to me today from Florida.
That cracked me up. Loved the note inside from her... I wonder where they get their humor from...





They actually taste pretty good!

 

Now everyone knows I not only dish but greatfully take it, so bring it bitches!

 

Yep, he’s on the chopper, they’re Kern County. And yeah, beer...he like Coors for some reason
He’s glad to hear you’re doing well, he said you were in pretty bad shape Mr! Don’t do that again Mr Watson
Those cookies will heal you good and fast...NOT! Stay away from sugar while healing up dude!

 

Another reason to ditch the ballerina tights and wear baggies... Pockets! You could have plastered the Helo and the ER with IMTB stickers.

 

LOL!
I want a sticker! Please @Mikie I’ll put it on my Hydroflask

 

Yah know?
First valid reason to move to baggies!
Can you imagine? They are giving me CPR in the Helo while I’m covertly sticker kitting their helicopter? Hmmmmmm.....

Yeah Sara...
All we got to do is actually get in the same ZIP CODE! Sheesh! What a couple months, huh?

 

Did you slap an IMTB sticker on the side of that chopper?

 

Ooooops......you already beat me too it.

 

Hah! Then we didn’t speak. If he was the guy that hauled my ass in after they cabled me up then he never said a word. Checked vitals. Actually held my hand while he took my blood pressure. I needed my hand held by that time, I was delirious and kinda losing it at that time. The human element is always the best medicine. Those guys rocked! You need to give that guy a hug and say it’s from Mikie.

 

NOoooooo.....

 

He’s pretty quiet. I’ll give him a squeeze for you

 

I used to hold peoples hand while checking blood pressure..
People like their hands held..especially old people that lived alone...
Rich or poor ..
Bel air or south la..
All hands look same when old
All old dont want to be alone
All alone want their hands held....

 

Driving down santa monica to st johns
lights n sirens.. brakes screaming...smell
Of metal burning...
Acceleratin n brakin a huge heavy ambulance full of metal...
Woohooo!

That was one hard job...

All my life i seek adrenaline from the feeling of uncontrolled speed mixed in with fear of death...

Thank God For mtbkin...
Woohoo! I better not take drugs...

 

You got some ghetto Haiku going on there kc....

 

Another reason why i had to stop riding motorcycles..
Man have u ever hit 100mph plus on the 57 sunday am....w still more to twist w the right hand?
U going so fast u think.. why is there so much traffic sunday 6am?

 

I gotta look up definition of haiku...

 

Sorry for derail...
