Question:

Fire hose bail sticking?

The TFT nozzles on the truck at my fire house tend to stick when opening and closing them. What would you reccomend to fix this? Please keep in mind that high pressures and water exposure will be an issue. Also, no flammable lubricant can be used, obviously. Thanks

Answer:

Porn mags, knives, hammers, piano wire, gags, a backup ipod, band-aids, morphine, syringes, scissors, a mousetrap, a electric duck, some pickles, and a patridge in a pair tree.
Don't forget to pack a two to three week supply of medications.You wouldn't want to go with out Grand mamma's crazy pills during the big ice storm! Truth be told most people forget to pack their families meds. Good Luck
I'm not sure why you think there needs to be 20 items, but here are some items that are usually found in a first aide kit: bandaids ace bandage alchohol pads butterfly strips neosporin thermometer tylenol or advil (for pain and/or fever) apecac (for accidental poisening) mylanta or pepto bismol (or some other antacid: can be bought in tablet form) lomotil (or diahrea medicine) medical tape gauze iodine tweezers (for removal of splinters or glass) small pair of scissors (for cutting of gauze) safety pins finger nail clippers cotton balls and/or cutips And these last 2 items aren't usually found in a first aide kit, but can come in handy in any emergency: A flashlight flare
Dameware . If you're running windows XP and 2003 I would recommend using Remote Desktop. This comes with windows and can be found under start-programs-accessories-communication desktop. The computer you connect to needs to be running Windows XP or Windows 2003. However, you can connect to windows 2000 if it has Terminal Services installed. You can also use gencontrol.
OK, a little more than 20 items but necessities to my mind. Here goes: Sterile Bandages Bandaids waterproof tape Ziploc baggie (can be used for multiple purposes-including keeping dry) Butterfly strips (if you can find them retail) Scissors Tweezers Ace wrap Cold pack-the kind that you snap and get instant cool Hand warmers-usually found in hunting goods Meds-pain (tylenol), anti-inflammatory (motrin), allergy (benadryl), aspirin-in case of heart attack/stroke Antibiotic ointment CTA's-Cotton tipped applicators (or fresh small pack of qtips)-don't want to touch ointment or anything with fingers and contaminate. Aloe vera-burns Anti sting medicine (for bugs) Antacid-not emergency but you'll be happy you have it in the car if you need it! Safety pins Gloves Disposable thermometers (can you believe they have those!) Hydrogen Pyroxide, Alcohol Bleach, Meat Tenderizer (if you live near beach-jellyfish) Penlight-check pupils Blanket Whistle Duct tape (ya never know!) Life savers/candy or glucose tablets (especially if you're hypoglycemic-low blood sugar) CPR Mask Eye Pad-must cover both eyes in case of foreign debris in one. Flare Hand crank radio Water-for you or car That's all I can think of for now. Some of the items here depend on geography/where you're located. More heat pads for cold places and more water for hot places, etc. Hope this helps p.s. Don't forget about pet 1st aid if you travel with any-most people forget about that. :)
