I'll have to see if I can get some pictures while I'm up there.
Take Care Rik!
Hey Rik, Daytona sounds kind of like sturgis some years, freezing and wet. It's supposed to snow here tonight, guess it will be a while longer till I get the bike out. It was decent last weekend, we did a controlled burn on a house. went pretty good, the wind came up before we got done, but we had cornfields all around, so it couldn't go anywhere. I posted some new pics on my page of the burn. Hope things are good and quiet down south tonight, take care and stay safe
It's still flat in the delta and the blues are still going strong. Zoo crew huh?! Been a long time since I was out that way. Family still lives in Fondren area though. I lived near sta 17 growing up and can still here 'em winding on that Q coming down Ridgewood. Ya'll be careful down there and holler at us if u get in the flat land.
Hey Rik, thanks for checking on me. Things are going great. Hope all is well with you. I will definately send the truck your way. I will tell them to leave you at least a couple cases. Take care and have a great week. Talk to ya soon...

Take Care Rik!
Hey Rik,
Just got done burning some burgers on the grill.
After I got home from a fire. Had a controlled burn at a local nursery, burn into a grove of Christmas trees heading for woodland area.
I did some rough ridin on the back of the ol attack truck, it's been a while. Closest thing to bronch or bull ridin I've ever done. Haven't been thrown in a while.
Have A Good Nite!
Hi Rik,
Yeah, I'm pulling a double shift today and it's been quiet so far.
I see your guy Eli married his college sweetheart, heavy on the sweet too!!!
Well, keep things safe down your way & hope it stays quiet for ya, Buddy.
Hey kittie, just checking in....haven't had time to check on ya lately. I just got back from a week on Tybee Island....oow la la...but it's back to the ole grind now. We're really hopping here in SC. Hope all is well with ya. Catch ya soon. God bless. San
hey Rik, glad to hear your keeping that line safe...pretty much sos here , I got achance , not that you would or should get pumped up over it, but I just purchased A set of Demo pipes that were shown @ the fdic I'm pretty excited..especially since my check from uncle sam co encided not pain at all...lol
Hey Rik, glad your mission was safe and completed. Glad Texas treated you right. The weather here has been beautiful, it feels like summer. Have a wonderful and safe weekend. Enjoy your Lone *Star*. Take care and talk to ya soon...
Hey Rik!
Howdy on this beautiful Sunday morning!
I just got home from truck training at the station. We do that every once in a while to bring new FF's up to speed & our medical people, so they could get the apparatus to the scene and get it set up, while the rest are driving from their places of work to the fire scene. It also never hurts us who normally do it, just to practice when we're not in a hurry.
Anyway, I haven't gave you a shout for a few days. I'm enjoying vacation. Been busy however, so I need to slow it down a bit or it will be over before I know it.
Well, Take Care Rik!
Hey Rik!
I sent a box out to ya today. It's coming Pony Express (save on gas), nah.... snail mail, so it should be to ya sometime next week.
Be nice to your lady this weekend and give her my best!
Stay Safe Rik...
Morning Rik,
Just stopped by to say, had a great night for racing, I've got the fever for it now and what a show.
Of Course Eric was having a bad night for the main event. However in his heat race he came in second. Had a couple good crashes one happened so fast it took a moment for everyone to react.. One car flew right off the #3 turn and ended up on his top, he was rushed to a nearby hospital and should be O.K.. I'll have to slip out to the race track more often.
Hope your weekend is going Super Great!
Talk to You Later!
Hey there captain. Haha I finally find somebody within driving distance from me lol. I just wanted to drop in and say hey and I hope everything is going ok for you up there in the big city lol. Well take care and stay safe. Ill holler at you later on.
