    They are saying she has asthma. She's never been diagnosed before so it's a little confusing. She got some respiratory bug and started running a fever last night. They say this triggered the asthma. She's responded to the Albuterol and is breathing a lot better, but it's kept her heart rate up. If they can get everything under control she can go home tomorrow.

    I spent 2 years in the Ape House. Was hurt on the job and couldn't climb anymore. Transferred to the plant and spent 13 years on the units, moved up to Operations Technician and worked both the units and as a qualified board operator for 5 years. Promoted to Control Operations Supervisor which is the actual Control Operator plus supervisor. After three years took a lateral move to our Performance Monitoring and Diagnostic Center as Senior Operations Specialist. Was there for 9 years then came back to the plant again as a Control Operations Supervisor. The plant reorganized, my title changed to Control Operations Coordinator and no longer have supervisor duties but I coordinate the work of my former crew for their new Team Leaders. Every member of our shift reports to a different Team Leader. I'm still a management/professional employee doing the same job I was except actually supervising my crew. I'm the only management employee my crew see's for all but 4 days a month. Some VP heard an ass bray and thought it divine intervention to form "Teams" at the plant and have them supervised from the admin office. If the plant will just survive another 29 months I'll be retiring after 41 years.

    Ok IMHO.
    If it was me.
    I would keep what you have for a cell phone charger, a garmin for those long trips so you don't get lost, etc.
    Make a combo relay box/switch assembly. Run direct leads to battery. Bypass the switch so it doesn't have to be on if you want to throw lights somewhere.
    All depends on current flow but you could also ditch the relays and run individual fuses in the box under the switches.
    What you are asking is quite simple. You can have control of rear, side, front lamps with 3 switches.
    Use water protected switches and have at it.


    Or just buy a panel

    I have asthma.
    I suffered sleeping in a chairs with a vaporizer and a tent.
    They have good meds now. I know she is scared. It feels like a pillow over her face or someone sitting on her chest.
    The most important thing to remember (as hard as it is) is to relax.
    This may go away. I've seen it.....

    Yup

    Another asthmatic here. Used to be much worse in my early 20s but has mostly gone away with age.
    Albeuterol will certainly make the heart race. There's an alternative that is just as effective that doesn't. It's a mix of two medicines delivered via a respirator.

    Well, when I ordered my last bed from them I ordered sheets. For som reason they got stuck in PHX and missed both the adjusted delivery date( a day early) and the original. I cal T&N to see if they could find out why. So, long story short, they said the package never shipped so they cancelled the order. I then watched the package go to my town, then turn around and go back to the east coast. I called fedex and asked if they were in the habit of having tracking for packages that didn't exist, they basically said if there was tracking there was a packag. So I called T&N and ask WTF. Asked to talk to a supervisor. Got told there aren't really any. Got told sorry and if you don't want to buy another bed from us we understand.
    Basically fuck me and they don't care.
    2beds I've bought. And that's what I get?

    That's all good ideas. Being cramped for space, an additional mount may be needed on top of the dash....or get a guitar strap and wear it around your neck...The Neck Basket!

    Just make sure they do not go asthma as an easy route IE hear hoof beats think horses not zebras.. years ago they thought I had asthma turns out after seeing a respiratory specialist and then an allergist it was actually constant bronchitis from sinus issues . Almost kept me out of the military .
