This is a place where we can sit down, put our feet up and chill. Where the Boys and Girls can just be themselves. The Back Room or what most firefighters call a ''day room or rec room'' is the social point of every firehouse.

I need breaks from time to time so I will grab my best friend and run away out of town. No job, no fd, no phones, no pagers...... What sucks is I still can't sleep in.... Typical for me is average 21 hours of sleep a week with the rest either working or helping others.

I prefer saunas.

Although a hot tub and snow is a great combo-assuming the air isn't too cold and the tub isn't too hot. My wife and I were in Jackson Hole in Feb way back, air temps were -20 to -30 and the hot tub was over 110. Couldn't sit in the air or the tub. Made it a little less enjoyable.

Good afternoon chief.

Work too much? Are you self employed\own your own business Patti?

Would agree totally Nyssa, company in the hot tub is way more fun. They've got big slide and skiing place up on top of the mountain. That should help keep ya occupied.

Patti, I can understand working too much but not at 2 in the morning unless it's on a fire run.

Afternoon Chief!

Welcome to the vacation trip Mike.
Comment by Patti Walz on November 11, 2010 at 1:09pm
thanks Tom..... I happen to be one of those sick and twisted individuals who actually work too darn much.......

True although I wouldn't want to be alone in that hot tub looking out. Although I might be a bit bored so I would want to go have fun like a water slide down the mountain Nitro Circus style. lol :)

Holy crap Patti, won't be up that early. Will have it for ya around 6ish or so.

Nyssa, hope the rest of the day goes well. Spa sounds good but my vote goes for a cabin with hot tub down & jacuzzi down in the Smokies with a view of the mountains. Hard to beat that!

How nice Mark? Uh now would be nice Tom but I still have one more class today and the classes tomorrow. I've been thinking about going to the spa but I don't know when it will happen. Grrr. So yeah now is good.

Thanks Tom... I will be up about 2am and in the office by 2:30am.
