    Hey sicko. Hope you are feeling better. If not I am going to have to try some of my paramedicine on you and lord knows you don't want a newbie medic trying to treat ya!! You might end up with an NPA somewhere you don't want it.

    Morning Sunshine! Guess what the girls are doing? I am not sure what time they got up to play with the Wii. All I know is it was before I was up!
  • Bonnie

    Howdy. :o) No pork products. We did switch to using Hamm Radios though. Brings new meaning to the phrase "bringing home the bacon." P.S. that ham I am fixing tonight was not a bonus from work. Genuine Safeway Ham. Not Hiway 97.

    Yea thats for sure we are going to keep us going and going strong at that..we may not have much for responses and personel but we are a mighty group..we are all staying possitive and staying flexable with all the changes going on and looking to see what we can do better for the future.

    Hey Jeff thank you very much I'm glad to be here, yea theres plenty more of those pics as well, the worst part about that storm was we almost lost our Engine while it was pulling out of the location we were at he tried going down a hill and it slid sideways out into oncoming traffic. So yep we have had a couple of wild rides. My big thing right now is noone in my Fire company is wildland certified besides me and hopefully as of this year i might be able to come out west and play in some real fire.
