A week with personal time. Could it be?

Hello everyone,

It is 0402 on this Monday morning here at TCC. It has been a busy night with flights. I have swapped for my two weeks of night shifts. With this schedule and obligations, i have found it impossible to schedule any ambulance time for this week. So that means that I have some time for myself. Amy told me to use it and do some of the things that i have been wanting to do. So I will try.

Charlie and I are to Hunt some Turkey this afternoon and possibly Thursday. I am having lunch with my friend Les on Wednesday and hopefully working on my friend Brett's storm chase vehicle on Friday. Other than that, I am playing it by ear. I hope to enjoy the time away from work and have some quality time with Amy and Hunter in the evenings.

I do have to continue to work on the tractor cruise sponsorships this week, but I will work on it at my own pace.

I will update you Wednesday night, when I am back here for another shift.

Another Week and stormy Weather

Good Morning to Everyone,

It has been another week since my last post. It is again Friday and again, the weather is to be bad. I don't know why on Fridays it seems to want to storm. Of course I am sitting here at TCC. I over slept this morning and again ran late. But it is better than yesterday when I received my first ever traffic violation ticket. Of course "I did not do it" but the officer did not see it that way. He says I ran a red light, but it was YELLOW and I never saw ant red during my time going under it. Oh Well. Just have to go to court and talk to the judge and see if I can explain it to him.

Not much to tell you about this week. Another busy week with work and stuff. I did get to finely go chase some Turkey, but no luck on getting one yet. The tractor is back home and cutting grass.

I have worked into overtime here at TCC again this week. That along with Tractor Cruise stuff going on, has made it for a non restful week. I work today then work Still Waters tomorrow. I then change to nights here at TCC on Sunday night and supposedly will have a couple days off next week. I of course have a ton to do, so it wont be a laid back week. I just hope I can catch up a little on the list of stuff I need to get done.

Talk to you later,
Jeffrey White

Stormy weater and I am getting old


Hello to everyone,


It is an early Saturday morning here at TCC. Yesterday was full of events to tell you all about. My day yesterday started with a early morning Dr. Visit for a follow up on a high blood pressure issue that UAB is worried about. So I hate to tell you, but it is official, I AM OLD. I was placed on BP meds and told to watch my intake of caffeine. I ran a ton of errands after that. When I went to leave Wal-mart, we were put under a Tornado warning that was coming out of Shelby County toward Childersburg. I ran up 280 toward Childersburg to see if I could catch it. I DID! I chased the storm system all the way into Talladega reporting to EMA as I went. Never got a funnel, but had good wall cloud and up drafts. After losing my chase due to traffic in Talladega, I went back to Winterboro to help them get the kids on the buses and home in between systems. After getting home. the family was sitting watching the TV and live radar while I was on the weather blogs talking to all my weather watcher buddies. Another storm came into the county from Shelby county and was headed to Winterboro again. So Hunter and I got in the car and did another run up to Winterboro and caught some fairly decent pictures of the shelf cloud coming over and the rain shield coming threw. You can see some of the pictures Hunter took on the picture link to the right side of the blog. We relaxed after that and watched a movie before bed.


This week has been non eventful except for work. I say that and then remember that Amy had surgery on Monday afternoon for an impacted Wisdom tooth. She has done real well with it. It is just now starting too give her the soreness I have been expecting all week. But she did awesome with her recovery and only missed one day of work.


So, I have caught you up for the most part. I will talk to you later,


Jeff
