   Is it a wood frame with those handles around it for carrying replacement windows?

   virtually all plastic, might float but isn't designed to, no upcurve at either end as a toboggan needs. it's designed to be carried, but not for glass.

   it is made for a passenger but you don't want to be the one to ride it.

   no, nor a plain stretcher. you're in the right ballpark, but not early enough in the process.

   You might say that it has 'I love me' features in use, like a straitjacket.

   Mass Casualty, HAZMAT Decontaminable (HMD) SKED?

   spell out sked? no grok. failing that, I think this is more common- no enclosure, just separate straps. and tape... carried by various emergency responders.

   edit- looked it up, I think this qualifies as not one. think on the sports reference..

    took a while to get logged in again.

    yes, it's a back board.

    at the bottom of this page is a "Oregon Spine Splint" that's foldable.

    here's what looks like a yellow pea blossom (though the plant doesn't), a very strange silver spruce [maybe], and an asparagus fern.

    hi, goody, I never saw such a thing. Must I have it under my kitchen table ???

    what, a back board? no, although the older ones were flat plywood with hand and strap holes. if there's any chance of a serious spinal injury, these are used to immobilize the head on down for transport to prevent more damage. fire trucks and ambulances carry them as a matter of course, and lots of movies and tv shows have shown 'em.

    the SKED systems are evolutions of the 'rescue baskets' long used for lifting injured out of hard-to-reach places like mountainsides.

    Looks like a piece of moulding that came out of a screen door frame!

    no, this is a chromed steel hand tool, old (kerosene lamp era) and somewhat specialized, today the same tool is *very* different in appearance and most (I think) women (and some men) have at least one. it's sitting on a brightly colored cloth.

    Goody, looks like a curling iron. I could tell by the first shot, right off. But the second shot confirmed it! :)

    she comes through again!

    it's an antique curling iron from well before electric heated ones showed up.

    here's the business end of a yellow flowering succulent, some purple flowers peeking through a chair and a couple of yellow flowers with a resting wasp nearby.

    I also posted some bonus shots earlier over in the warning: thread.

    Hey, Goody! I can tell you weren't just leaning on a fence post when you took those shots! LOL Nice shots! Is that last yellow one a shrub? I have a shrub out front that looks like it. Mine is only starting to bloom now and doesn't show many buds, yet. Take a look:
    Yellow flowered shrub

    Imagine how much hair damage those curling irons may have caused. No thermal control. Frizzy!!!

    yep it's a shrub, down by the hospital in roseburg- the bucket wouldn't let me see your pic- wanted a password. no fences around, though I used my 3-toed bolt on the seat of that chair.

    yes'm, bet there were scorch marks a-plenty! blistered ears, ooh.

    got a nice shot of a skeeter hawk last night. check out the trumpet tailpipes ahead of the rear legs!

    focus light was a cheap, single white LED flashlight.

    swapping couches an hour ago, I got a furniture dolly dropped on my left foot, so I got a date with a couple pain pills.

    ow.

    Yeah, I would have never notice those on the skeeter eater.

    Sorry to hear about your foot. At least you have a new couch to lay on. :)

    looks exactly the same- what is it?

    terri's still vacuuming so back to bed.

    of course, that's where this laptop is- convenient, huh?

    And it's about 15 years old but in real good shape- got it free, so that worked out well for the budget.

    and at least I have pain pills, if not as good as I'd like- darvocet-n 100's

    factoid: the -n means they aren't water-soluble so people can't shoot up on them.

    goody.. when you first injure something, use ICE, not heat!

    yeppers, didn't put that in- just the pills. ice hurts for a while. I use gel packs wrapped in towels- not as messy. heat's for sore muscles.

    BDTFBY, got *lots* of primary-responder info, fyi my 'home first-aid' kit takes up 3 20mm ammo cans and runs all the way to surgical instruments and 60 packs of various sutures. there was a 9 year gap when there was no doctor or ambulance in town.
