I caught "My Knee Hurts Now" on Statter911 this morning. What a great summary of my life for the last 25 years of night shifts. Glad you posted it.

Thanks for the comment. I expect as the years go by we grandfathers of fire and EMS will continue to share our years of knowledge. I just hope there are others there to receive it.

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!!!

Wow! Teamwork, air management, exercise, and MULTI-TASKING ! All while they think you've proven you're nuts. I definitely have to pass this idea on.

I love the music, BTW.

The basketball P.T. fully suited up w/SCBAs looks like a great idea. I'll have to pass the idea on to the training officer (if we can find a basketball court).

I was watching your photo slide show and started crying at the photos of the horse rescue. They showed in reverse chrono order and I thought it was a dead horse being interred. The sorta sad sounding music really added to yanking tears out of me. But, then I felt like such a fool when I opened all your photos and looked at captions and photo numbers.

Hi Oldman,

Thanks for your post on my thread "Declaring Death". I can't stop giggling at that last line.

"Now I am not calling that Chief a primate, but..."

Since primates are the highest order of mammals and includes humans, apes and monkeys, that line tells me you aren't even willing to assume that we a chimp, much less a human, for a chief. How far down the animal family tree do you think lies?

Thanks for adding me brother!!!!!!

Hey I had a pissing match with my Supervisor and I won....hhhhhhmmmm...LOL

I was just wondering if you could clerify for me how you think buying your own turnout gear is like freelancing on the fire ground if you you would not mind, because I havent seen you reply to the hoods discussion again.

Im going through an online academy thats where ive been getting these tests here lately. I already know alot of it from previous training. But I have found it interesting how many people have gotten away from the basics or dont know the basics.

where do you teach at

hanover is near the wilkes-barre area

Just read your reply to "Where's the Outrage?" I've got the rope! (Should'a figured you for a Texan, nice tanker by the way.)

Hi "Old Man" I liked reading your comments about your age and running circles around the younger guys. You have a couple years on me! I have 21 years in Fire/ EMS. I am at least 10 years older then my crew and have to work my butt off to keep even or a head of them!

Yeah, I have a good friend who did some time and it was in part, from conversations I'd had with him that inspired me to wite "Life can Be funny Sometimes". He has completely turned his life around and now says going to prison was the best thing that ever happened to him in many ways, as it forced him to grow up & properly value life. Congrats on teaching as you do. I realize people who supervise those who have been in the "system" often have a have a tough and thankless job. You are also welcome for the add.

Thanks bro. I have had some flak for posting that one Perhaps, I'd do better to just stick to firefighting and pick my moments with comedy as I am much better at firefighting lol. be safe out there bro
