Hey Susie, Just to let you know how stupid I am, I responded to you message on my account. Look on my account for your response. I was having a "blond moment". Maybe because I am just getting over my "hangover" from being out with my two neighbors Angela and Kim. Take care

Howdy Susie,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm just now getting back to talking to my friends after all of this weekends activities. Saturday was my birthday and worked a 24 hour shift that day. Was lucky enough to be with my fire family and friends so it's all good. Have an awesome week and write me back when you get the time.

It gets pretty wet over here alright, even so we had some tough forestry fires in the spring of last year, a share of traffic collisions and a few commercial fires. All in all we keep busy despite the wet weather, a lot of storms here now so busy with flooding and fallen trees etc.
You take care now......

Susie, Gordon was telling me your com center uses Positron equipment. Let me tell you how sorry I am! Easily the biggest pile of junk on the market; fortunately, none of our dispatchers can take any credit for throwing our good equipment away and buying Positron--it all goes to the 9-1-1 director and our Sheriff--who bought it despite the fact I told him it was junk!

I actually like Spillman; the only gripe I have is that our agency won't buy enough of the available modules to actually allow it to make Dispatch recommendations. Still, what we have is far better than using a time clock and cards...

We should look at something like that. We use King County CBD, and still have the large clunky books to knock around and lose...
