The guys are really great and I appreciate them so much. I do thank you for your concern dear, truly, your a blessing.

Hey Thanks Ross.
Got the funeral over and now got to move on, their hurting a lot, it will be a long road ahead but have had excellent support from Fire/EMS/Law Enforcement world.
Take Care Ross!

hey ross, thanks for comment, been quiet around here, hmmmmm, the calm before the storm? be safe out there and keep in touch

This truck is pretty awesome. Especially since it replaced a 1972 gas burning reincarnated Coca Cola delivery truck that carried 1500 gallons of water and wouldn't go over 5mph uphill. It's a 2006 International 4wd turbo deisel with 1000 pump and 1800 water. We call it our "FEMA Truck" since it was purchased with long begged for FIRE ACT grant money. Yes, it's first out on a lot of stuff...

thx and hello from minnesota!!!!

Hey there, had a busy friday up here but the rest of the week end was pretty quiet. I had hazmat oper. refresher all day sat. fun fun lol. Stay safe and we'll talk again soon.

Hey ross just a note to say hello thanks for being there and thank you for being my friend may the angels always watch over you, stay safe and see ya at the station ;-)

Welcome new friend! You stay safe too! Thanks for the comment

i have lived in vt my whole life. So i guess as ppl would say its my evil twin or my good twin which ever way you want to put it.

hey dear, no,, not back at hospital. Was bed bound. After the 11th sugery ( the third one now since the callaps of the building on us).. i thought i was doing good. It kept swelling too much, so much it brough more pain then i could bare. I was bed bound keeping it elevated, and just had the sutures for the knee removed yesterday, and it bursted open like it was never sutured in the first place.. as blood just poured out, grrrrrrrrr. I was told if the swelling continues byt he 24th, they will have to go back in n redo it ,,, after they drain it. Seems like I could be having an allergy to the new joint replacement... I doubt it tho, as it only swells anytime I use it or have it below my heart. Then my shoulder surgery finally getting better,,, thank goodness. Basically put, im sneeking around on the putor while I can,, though I know I shouldnt be up, how long can one stay in the bed, u know?lol.
So how are your sutures doing? How is your knee now? has it gotton any better since last week?How long are you goin to be off duty, do you know? btw,, what happened hun?

Hello from New Hampshire! I can't imagine things are all that much different here, we're still snow covered and beginning to be muddy! LOL My department has been fairly quiet recently, although we do go in spurts.

hey dear....
yes, things 100% better. I was put on light duty ( as if that exsists,lol) after driving my dr totally nutts. It was the stupid inside sutures I was havin pros with, so, they got removed, it all got re sutured etc,, and well, here I am, back to work. Naturally, the guys at the station are tryin to take all my fun, but I can see their point at this moment, afraid being so early, I may not be able to handle my own weight, but, I am back to work, something I missed so so badly.
JUst pulled 72 hour shift ( divided by fire house and rescue and ems)and have just today left for catching up on rest, then back to it I go tomorrow with another 72 hour shift. (again, all between fire, rescue and ems,,, not all one station).
My captain went and gone crazy on us,, he retired, grrrrrr,lol... Left me up for it, so now (ceremony was last week) I am captain at the fire dept, 1st LT at the EMS station and 2nd LT at rescue, shoo, I am gettin lost as to who I am n what I am suppose to do now,lol.... But my captain retiring early also had to do with one of the guys in FFN,,, long story, but funny,, will have to tell you one day.... anyways,, this guy who started it all, has his coming, real real soon,lol. I don't forget,lol....Naturally he thinks its funny, as I have been avoiding it for years, so it finally dropped in my lap,lol.
SO dear, do tell me, how have you been? and your healing? Do please be safe out there, as I do care...**hugs**

hey whats up and how are things with you?

yea i hear ya and yea things are good wiht me and around here to

Stopping in to say "Happy Memorial Day" dear. I don't get the whole weekend off, naturally, at work atm...BUT, I do get Sunday and Monday off. Haven't heard from you in awhile, so thought I would stop in and check to see if your well...How have you been lately? Do take care Hun,,,,and have an awesome weekend. Be safe dear...thats an order *winks*.lol.

**Yes Sir, Your Orders were followed as commanded**(giggles)
Guess that will teach me for trying to give orders to a Assist. Chief,lol. I had to try anyways, looks like it backfired on me eh?lol.
I did indeed have a safe and enjoyable Memorial day weekend. Spent some time with my guys after duty on Sunday (24 hr. shift on Saturday), we went to Atlanta, then turned around and went to somewhere in Kentucky ( yes, we purposely got lost, all 44 of us,lol), and stopped by the battlegrounds and cemeteries to give our thanks to those who has passed on, for our freedom. We even went on motorcycles, and that was an adventure all by itself, I walked like I had been horse back riding for a week,lol.
On Monday I went to Fort Campbell to honor the Military.So here I go, back to work, warn out to the bones,lol. How did your Holiday weekend go dear? Are you well? Are you back to work today?
Thank you for the message as well, it did brighten my day. Please be safe out there as you and your men stand strong and help those in need of your services and your strength. Have a great and SAFE week hun. Ummm, I'ld say that was an order, but I think I am missing just a few more strips for that (giggles), so I will say,Pwease?lol....May the angels be looking out for you and your men as you do for everyone else.
