Going to knock off early today and run over to Ferguson to peacefully protest.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!
They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

One has to appreciate the irony of guys knocking off a few hours early for Labor Day weekend Says the guy who retired in his late 40's.   Semi-retired. Finished cleaning up the puke from a 5 year old on the bus not an hour ago. I'll be running all of them back home this evening. Kids just can't handle their booze anymore..
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Full day today, bbq'ing for the bench rest match this weekend, dove hunting Monday. Won't be much rest, bit I should eat good, drink for free, and won't have too much stress.

I'm a plumber and having to clean up kiddie yack is way down on the list of things I'm OK with. BTW, I know it's early in the school year, but we haven't heard any good stories of the kids on your route yet.

I'm retired. One day is about the same as the next. KC
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

It wasn't bad. I asked his brother when it happened if there were any hot dog chunks or SpaghettiOs floating around on the floor. It's the first time it's happened, if real bad I'd just take a hose to it.
Not much bothers me, except when it concerns so called adults.
Nothing really, they switched my route around and the majority of kids are older, so it's pretty quiet. They did sing Happy Birthday to me last week.

Full day here. Started at 630 this morning after staying the night caring for MIL.
Washed 2 fire trucks.
Came to work. Will be here until 5pm.
Then wash 3 more fire trucks for parade on saturday.
Then straight to the fair to sit with a fire truck for kids taking pictures until later.
Then up at 530 to get the fire auxiliary trailer loaded with hay for the parade.
Paraded at 10am, back to fair every night through Sunday.
Plus on call fire/ems ....
But still trying to shoot and pack for Alaska somehow plus plant oats patch. ANd load ammo for Alaska.
Should be a long hot weekend.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

No subs here today, so I don't have to babysit anyone..
I can actually be productive now.

Should be a long hot weekend. Rost, Had a buddy drive tour bus in Denali, he started off washing the busses, said it was the hardest physical labor he had done. Good luck with the fire trucks. What's on the list in AK?

What's on the list in AK? Good visit and help friends at home, and hopefully a week in the woods looking for a 50 inch plus bull. Regardless it'll be 2 weeks in AK, temps under 100, and it'll all work out. Even given the almost 4 travel days involved. Who can complain about driving a long ways in AK since you are in AK. I"m sure it gets boring to you locals though. Washing is part of the game. The gamble is... wash in least used order, and cross your fingers we dont' just wash and wax and then have to fight a fire... and then wash again for parade...LOL. We have left station with truck one having soap all over it before..... I"m sure it looked funny for a few blocks...

I'll have something like fifty dogs to take care of this weekend. So yeah, I'll be working just like always. Probably won't see this many again until Thanksgiving.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Retired here also.
My job is guarding my bird feeders from "varmits" every day.
Got a nastie Bluejay with my Hornet yesterday. The two biggest chunks landed 10 feet apart.
35 gr. Vmax at 2900 FPS tends to make much "flung goo" (grin!)
Worked steady for 42 years to get here. Every day is holliday!
