Happy Holidays Rik.
Here's hoping for a Happy, Healthy & Safe Holiday Season!
We had our winter benefit today. We had a good crowd. The weather somewhat cooperated. It was sunny and cold, but the streets and sidewalks are iced over, real bad.
Talk to YOU later...

Hi Rik!
Yeah we had a Santa visit at our pancake breakfast, yesterday. He came in on our rescue truck. After a ride around town of course.
He's a local business man whose wife is a school teacher in our school system. So he knew every kid by name and had a good story about each kid from Christmas past, so the little ones were really eating that up. It was fun. I only hope I could be that good someday.
Well, Take Care Rik and Here's hoping for some snow for U on Christmas Morn!

Yes Sir...even though I live in the winter wonderland, I too dream about setting in a cabin, deep in the woods, full of snow falling and piling up on the ground. I'm setting in a big comfy chair, got a good book to read, hot cocoa or tea, a raging fire going in the fire place. A dog & a cat curled up in front of the fire place, a sleep, that's when the pager goes off and I'm out the door, damn it!
Someday I'll get to do it......
Happy Dreaming Rik! Don't fall a sleep and spill hot coffee on ya now, alright...

Man i am trying to get it all done to much to do not any time. We do toys for familys that need help in are area this year we had 7 familys an i just got that done we had a good turn out on the toys that were donated. Now i have to get my shopping done. But its worth it to help make a nice christmas for other little ones. So is your shopping done? If not you better get on the ball

I'll tell ya what, I hate it when you get a spurt of 4 or 5 calls in less then 10 hours and then ya don't get any for a month or so!Last Saturday we ran 1 WSF at approx. 1430 that was out before we got there and then about 0135 Sunday we ran to the same place for a fully envolved structure.Got back home at 0400 and my ass hit the bed and the pager went off for a roll over, 1 minor injury!Freezing rain and sleet sucks at 4 in the morning!W ell I hope you and your family and friends have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Howdy Rik!
Get this... it was sunny & 47 degrees on Christmas morn.
It was alright. Now it's suppose to snow everyother day, for a while. It snowed a half an inch today. I had a three car pile up that was pretty nasty at the PD, missed a rescue call on the FD.
Looks like your gearing up for the New Year.
Looks like you're going to have to change that number on your helmet to 007!
Take Care Rik....

We start this coming Monday. I was in Ames today and traffic has already picked up, so some have come back.
Hung out with my Colo FD friends and former FD Captain yesterday. I'm putting my house up for sale in Kelley & going to move back to Colo, where it's much busier, more territory as well.
I was wondering if you were busy on this last shift. Just hadden't gotten around to get evryone shouted at yet today.

Were close enough to Wisconsin you almost have to be. Plus a lot of the peeps here at work are from the Wis. area, so we have to be.
Bart Starr, now that takes me back....
We're in the deep freeze up here. It's been worse but the sametime last year it was 58 degrees, so that tell ya we've been spoiled. This year we're really having winter. So, we have to remember what winter is really like.
Hey, stay safe with all those fires. I have one more day on, then I'm off for two days.
Later Rik!

Aloha yourself, Rik. Life here is not so BZ but did have a structure fire last week. Dud was working on his car in the carport, and the fuel tank started leaking, so he goes to get the hose, and comes back and starts washing down the pad. Well, water starts flowing, pressure in the pressure tank drops and the pump kicks on, ten feet from the spill, and BOOM! By the time we got there, there were four rooms rolling, including the attic space.

Hi Rik,
Just taking life easy today. Going through some old pictures, to see if there is anything to add to my photos.
Nevada had another house fire overnight. They paged out Colo(My old dept) & Cambridge. My Colo buddy & a Nevada buddy are cold, tired and tired of fighting the cold weather. This is the second house fire in less than a week.
Well, have a slow night, get some rest!

Hey Rik, hope you have a great weekend off. we are headed to denver for a motorcycle swap meet and bike show. hopefully we won't get snowed on. Had a big structure and hay fire the other night. the water was feezing about a soon as it hit the ground. One of the rookies froze up a pump on a truck. Was glad to go home after that one. Take care and stay safe.
