That's the problem here... The local people are not being hired for fire fighting only out-of-state crews... This sucks for sure. I've been ready for days to
go but they just keep haulin' in the foreigners...

Shoot... Grangeville, ID had over 8 fires yesterday and all for them were lightning fires.

I ended up spending my time under a fire truck working on re-packing the the pump shaft packing. Very wet and dirty job. Especially when your laying on dirt and the pump is leaking on you... YUCK

Oh well can't win them all I guess... Done RANTING...

Hi Gang

Sure quiet around here - - did the place go to pot just because I am gone? I know - - ya'll miss me so much.

Finally got a decent INET connection - - we are in Door county in Wisconsin. Weather is great - - 78 today and dry. Heading out Sunday for over the top into Michigan and see who we can bother over there. Look out Don.

The beast is running great - - fuel is horrible and going up. Might have to stop and work a while to try and save enough to get home.

Take care,

Bob

Saturday and the Min-Pin alarm went off at 0430 hrs.

Heading for the daughter's place for the weekend, and going to scope out a few properties for sale while we're down there.
My criteria:
MUST have a large lot with a large (minimum 3 car) garage........Oh, ....and a house.

Y'all b safe.
State Troopers are on a Crack-Down phase again so watch those posted speed limits.

Morning all from Paradise. Leaving in a about 1.5 hours for a lot less than Paradise, - Mexico City. Hate going there. The family on my wife's side get together from far and wide every four years for a family gathering and this year it is in Mexico City. Last time it was at my house. Over 60 people expected to meet this afternoon for lunch. Not my cup of tea, but am obligated to go. My truck always stands out parked with the family Audi's and M-B's. If her brother brings his Porsche it will stand out even more.
Depending on traffic it will take about 3 hours to drive there in my trusty Ram. Wife does not like to take her car to Mexico City and prefers the truck as she says she feels a lot safer. Also, she can look over most of the traffic. Hope I can make it home before midnight as I have church duty for 6:30 a.m. tomorrow.
