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.

Hondo ... it has changed a whole lot!! Inflation is a pain, eh? I know when mine lost their last tooth (we did not count Wisdom teeth!), they received $5.00. Ruthy Toothy was great since the kids knew (after the first time), that the tooth fairy could find it without any problem and thus they would get their reward. Only ran into trouble one time when daughter grabbed it during the night and held on for dear life! Up and down all night checking until she (finally!!) let go of it around dawn!

Morning Chief! Looking forward to the podcast; am sure it will be excellent. Thanks for the decision on the meats for Deck and Poolside! Running with it now over at the Morning Coffee Table.

Morning Maria, am have risen, and ALWAYS shine! Those hot flashes will do that to you!! LOL!!

Jess, have a great one ... check out the Morning Coffee Table for info for this weekend. Starting to take shape!

Morning Rossi, sorry to hear all the crap is hitting you ... wanna borrow my sledgehammer? Ummm, still don't see what?

Hondo, my kidlets are grown, but it was always so cool when the tooth fairy came. We even had a little tooth-shaped felt holder named, "Ruthy Toothy". Cute as it could be and made finding the tooth under the pillow SO much easier!! LOL!

Hey Mikey!! Glad to see you are back! Was getting ready to send out a search crew!!

Everyone have a great day! Stay safe!

Morning all....

Rossi I'm sure things will get better for you soon.

Chief congrats on the podcast.

Hondo - Sounds like your house has been a busy place...loosing a tooth for the first time is always so much fun.

To everyone else...hope you all are safe and have a great day.

Morning all.....
Chief congrats and good luck with the PodCast. Will look for it in Fire Engineering web.
Hondo, did the tooth fairy leave anything for your son? Hope she was good to him.
FW, hhhhhhmmmmmmm.....still don't see it. Or am I in the wrong page? Too early....sorry. LOL


Sorry to have been out of the loop lately. Not a good week for me this week.
Things are getting pretty heavy at work. People tend to dump things on you on a whim and when you get it done, working your little behind off, it never gets appreciated. Contractors are piling up and that means a lot of our work will be contracted out. Don't really know what it's going to to do us, permanent employees. Maybe it's time for a change. Time to move on and test the waters. Just venting that's all, just venting.

Hope you all have a wonderful day. Stay safe and bo good. Mmmuuuaaahhh!!!!!!

John, they mow it! The Queen gets pretty pissy when you start burning things close to her palaces and castles and Holyrood is around the corner from this shot! LOL!!

Chief, that's great! Know he is looking forward to getting over all this and back to bopping around!

Morning Maria!! Working on getting a big bash going for the weekend ... boys invited this time since Chief is in town!! You in??

Guess it would look odd to be sitting on the seat of a dunking booth holding a bottle of water, eh?!?! :D

With the 90+ temps, I probably would have opted for the water. My luck though, people wouldn't have been able to hit the target anyway.

FW - I won't let it happen again I promise.

Michael - Thank you : ) We use the following to distinguish between differnt firefighters and the training that you have.

p= probie
e=exterior
x=advance exterior/interior(are distract only)
i = interior

Make sense ? To earn the differn't letters you need to not only have the proper training but you also have to have all 3 chiefs and all officers agree that you can move up and are capable of doing the job.

Chief...love the pink helmet.
