    Hi Bob. I'm hoping that I got you involved in something worth while. I figure with career's in both the fire service and in EMS that might catch your interest. There is alot of interesting people both locally and from around the country involved with this. There is a bunch of guys from Sheridan Park and from around the town that have already joined and seem to like it. I hope you like it.

    Heyy, thanks and yea my training mentor taught e how to do the paper work, we had a bus accident an he had 6 patients and he was the only EMT. So while he did the paperwork he as teaching me how and it does look like a lot of work. But I cant wait for my EMT, it's going to be fun. But thanks for the pointers and stay safe and have fun out there.

    Ugh!!!! I'm surprised we still have power... seems like anytime they even threaten an ice storm we lose power. I've already decided that I'm not going to school if the roads are crappy in the morning. But so far, no calls... so I haven't gone skating YET. Haha. So how are you? Ready for ice skating? lol.

    So last night our power only went out for a split second... and we had one EMS call. I opted not to go. There was just something about having to scrape that 6 inches of ice off the windshield that just wasn't appealing lol.
