It's been awhile since I posted a blog because it's been awhile since I have something to talk about. Things were sooooooo slooooooww for soooooooo looooooong...

That's over now. A minor MVA got us out a few days ago and I said then 'this is going to break our dry spell'. Well it did. We've had a few small calls since then and we did a training burn today that was frankly a lot of fun.

I just found this site today and so far I'm impressed. Lots of people and lots of activity. I'm not much of a blogger but I'll do my best to write something now and then. Who knows, maybe someone will even read it. But for now I'm just going to hang out and make a few friends. Heck, I made a friend while I was writing this post. Hi Jojo.
