Hey Rik, how's it going? Things have been busy here. no grass fires, thanks to the rain we are getting. I haven't seen our end of Nebraska this green in about ten years. We had a bad DOA call the other day, a few rescue calls, one dwi wreck, not too bad. Got our new 6x6 up and running. I have two wounded, hubby broke his foot when he wrecked his dirtbike, my older son broke his arm racing his four wheeler. Then My dad and my younger son wrecked a semi when the spring holding the front axle in place broke. just bumps and bruises thank God. The truck wasn't so lucky. Guess we will have to trail the cattle to pasture now. . Not a good month around here. Hopefully I am not next on the list. Take care and stay safe

Joel Swanson

Well Bro,
Down sick with pnuemonia in both my lungs. Don't know how long I'll be down but for a week for sure. I can't stand being down as you probably guessed. Don't know if it's being around all this flood water and storms. I hasn't been like this since 1993. I was a lot younger then.
OH Well, I'll be laying around if they can keep me down, Not a whole lotta of fun. Take Big Rik!
Happy Father's Day to ya

Jenny

Hey Rik, yep, I am being extra careful. Don't need anyone else around here wounded. Just got back from checking cows, had to fix fence, one calf out on the road. missed the steel post with the hammer and got my hand, don't think I broke anything, but could be sore for a while. Hopefully that is as bad as it gets for a while. I sure could use one of those Lone Stars about now. Take care

Hey Rik Good Morning!
Had a rough night but feel better this morning. Got to have some rough ones with the goods I guess.
Got your studying done hugh, that stuff is probably to much for me to handle right now, might actually throw me into respiratory distress :)
Well, Have a good one out there today. Whats the plans for the summer? My son Drew is moving back for four month this weekend. Then he'll get transfered back to his place he will be working out of in South Dakota. Makes no since to me.
Take CareBro Rik!

Jun 18, 2008
Joel Swanson

Hey Rik!
My computer is acting up today so I'll try my wife's.
Still healing, got our Drew home yesterday. He'll be here 4-6 month until his new transfer comes and then back to South Dakota.
I was looking at Bufflaloes yesterday in Sioux Falls and today looking at good old Iowa beef cattle. In fact I had a steak last night, the first real food I've had in days. Still on meds so I couldn't soak it down with a brewsky.
It's beautiful here today, I'm on vacation for the rest of the month so that will help me recoup. I even went on a medical call just for something to do last night.
But just going to heal and take life easy.
Got to run the neighbor just got came over so He must have something on his mind.
Take Care Buddy!!!!

Hey Rik!
Just stopping by to say I'm still on the heal, even though they think I also have whooping Cough, which will be a little annoying but wil be my ornery self real soon.
Do you have to work the 4th? Hope you have it off, unless that means a big holiday pay day for you.
You and the Family have a Safe 4th of July!
P.S. Did Drew get the radio job he was trying for?

Jul 2, 2008
Joel Swanson

Hey Rik!
Thanks for the nice 4th of July message.
I watched two different fire works dispays from my back patio. We can see the city of Ames & Boone's from our place.
I missed a fire call and a medical call yesterday due to still being off on medical leave. Had kind of a bad day anyway.
Anyway, it going to take time, they told me.
Take Care and Hope your 4th was a fun one!

Just writing to say I had two rough days but must of got the last of that crap outta my lungs. I'm feel'n much better tonight. I've got to get clearance from the Pulmonary Dept., so I can go back. If all my tests are back.
It was a nice evening so got out and enjoyed the evening air.

Hey Rik!
Just a quick Hello...
I went to the speedway last night and went in the pits and hung out with the dirvers and all that goes on behind the scenes. Forgot my memory card so my camera was useless. I'll have to try again next week.
Mean while it's hot here, then it storms. Had a lot of medical calls and not many fire calls.
Hope yer doing fine..
Take Care!

Hi Rik!
Hey, tell the young'n a belated Happy Birthday!
Don't get use to that R&R now. Just because you have yer ARRP Card (& I DON"T, YET) doesn't mean yer ready to turn out to pasture, yet.
A lot more fires to fight and lives to protect.

I'm down sick in bed with the flu. It doesn't take long for cold and flu season to come around. It's going around our office something fierce.
Of course the pager starts going off the minute I'm down sick.

Hey Rik!
I'm still alive. It's just been busy here. Once we start into the Holidays it will start winding down at the university. Our last home football game is this Saturday. That will help quiet things down.
I just can't wait for turkey day and then Christmas!
Hope all is going well your way.
Take Care My Friend!

Hi Rik!
I'm back online. Being home and no computer, is a real pain. It was a bad spot in my power cord. Luck for me, it was something simple.
Just got back from an O.D. call out in the country. Been there before.
It's been nasty cold and windy here. Thought the grandson and I could go more places, including Colo and look at there new/used rescue truck.
I bumped into Justin from Colo today at the Lowes' Store in Ames and he said I need to get over and see it, she is sweet.
Well, just everything and saw your messages and wanted to give you a shout and let you know why I hadn't been on here.
Oh, the old station is the station my dad worked out of when he was a Nevada Vol. firefighter.
Later Rik!
