Joe - want to ask you something about your post re:Smoke Divers. Will you add me as a friend so I can e-mail you?

Jan 7, 2009
Andy Entwistle

Not sure the friend request thing is working - no confirmation when I click it. (or if it IS working you now have three requests from me). Anyway, I'm at andy.entwistle@us.army.mil

Andy Entwistle

No, I didn't get your request (9 hours later) and the computer won't give confirmation that you are getting my request from your page - just now. I will try from another computer later. Thanks.

yes the president was offended, and i believe that making references about a persons size should not be a rule that needs to be enforced. It should just be a level of common courtesy you show to another human being. If it was just an improper use of english and he had no ill intentions when making said comment, i would think he would apologize. We recieved our adult cpr certification tonight, and we will just be missing one of 7 instructors next week.

Joe,

Sorry if this seems rude,I'm new to this site. I saw in a post that you responded you knew how to open up the Minitor IV pagers. I'd like to know how to open them up as we have several that are broken but have good cases that I could use on others. I don't know how to send you a private message, still learning about this site. If you can tell me how I can contact you I will give it a try.

Thanks,
Nick Slobodzian

Joe, Thought Id drop a note.... had to get the lawn mower out of the barn this weekend..... hope it warms up in the great white north soon. My sister still lives in Genoa NY. To cold for me. What happens to 5" on the plug at -20 degrees ??? Play Safe.

Joe, Its that time here also everyone burning off brush&leaves 4 brush fires this week. Keeping our brush trucks up is difficult, cannt be afraid to use them for what they are. I still hate scratches on our equiptment. Lay of land here is much like Ithaca/ Finger Lakes area, we work 4x4s and skid units hard. Often use Dept of Forestry CAT Dozer to cut fire breaks. Told the boys recently (when they were crying about cold,26 degrees) about hitting a hydrant one January evening in 1991 at -20 degrees and having to tow 2 300ft sections of 5" back to the station frozen. I dont miss that part of upstate NY. PlaySafe=)

You are totally right the fire ground is not the correct to address anything. I was looking for feed back on what others would think. I would go through proper channels. My concern is firefighter safety, if I see something wrong I wonder if they know the facts. I think you for your input and be safe out there.

Congrats on the white helmet. May it never get so heavy that you regret ever putting it on. I love the Prelude to a walk in the Woods call. As a Chief the words I always hated most coming from dispatch was "possible". It usually meant an all day/niter or a pain in the butt in paperwork "milk" run. By the way there is no such thing as a "milk" run, some one or something will always manage to screw it up.
