Ya, it was freaky!!! The guy was completely serious and I played along cause I thought it was a joke. Someone over heard our conversation; which was composed of arguing about the babies health, eye color, and age, called the police.
My brother and my buddies showed up in the car and the police were questioning me and the other guy and were very riled up, as one could imagine.
The bad thing is I had just enough beer in me that I could not keep a straight face and the cops was less than humored by the situation.

Don't start that again!
Excellent! The only problem with some of the programs, is that we've drilled 'stop, drop and roll' into their heads so much that they've lost the meaning of it. Ask a lot of kids her age what to do if their house catches on fire and they'll respond 'stop, drop and roll'. They have the words down pat, but not the understanding of the message. That's what we're working on correcting now.
That is correct!
Morning all.
Early day again.
Today is Wednesday, October 14th.
On this day in 1644 - William Penn was born. Penn was the colonist that founded the Pennsylvania colony for Quakers.
1879 - Thomas Edison signed an agreement with Jose D. Husbands for the sale of Edison telephones in Chile.
1887 - Thomas Edison and George E. Gouraud reached an agreement for the international marketing rights for the phonograph.
1890 - Dwight David 'Ike' Eisenhower was born. He became the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in World War II and eventually the 34th U.S. President.
1912 - Theodore Roosevelt was shot while campaigning in Milwaukee, WI. Roosevelt's wound in the chest was not serious and he continued with his planned speech. William Schrenk was captured at the scene of the shooting.
1933 - **** Germany announced that it was withdrawing from the League of Nations.
1936 - The first SSB (Social Security Board) office opened in Austin, TX. From this point, the Board's local office took over the assigning of Social Security Numbers.
1943 - The Radio Corporation of America finalized the sale of the NBC Blue radio network. Edward J. Noble paid $8 million for the network that was renamed American Broadcasting Company.
1944 - German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel committed suicide rather than face execution after being accused of conspiring against Adolf Hitler and the execution that would follow.
1944 - During World War II, the Second British Parachute Brigade liberated the city of Athens.
1960 - U.S. presidential candidate John F. Kennedy first suggested the idea of a Peace Corps.
1962 - The Cuban Missile Crisis began when U.S. reconnaissance aircrafts photographed Soviet construction of intermediate-range missile sites in Cuba.
chaikwa.
Still got a good program up here. FFD and NPFD both give excellent tours for little kids. Let them crawl all over the engines watch the ekg machine out of the ambulance play with the kids while in full turnouts and teach stop, drop and roll as well as when to call 911 and what to say. My kid loves it. She even dressed in her firefighter outfit for this years field trip.....
That is correct!

Nice job on the room overhaul! Nice proud looking papa and son their Blake.
I look forward to fire prevention week. We go to all the schools and eat lunch with the kids, then give classes and tours of the apparatus , stations, gear and all the other good stuff.
A home fire safety plan is also important! Nothing gets to me more on this planet then rolling up on a worker and getting reports of kids trapped in the building. Educate you kids now, save their lives later.
Off rant, LOL

Mornin' All!

Thankfully we have a good FD here. The first thing they teach the little ones is if the house(school, office, whatever) is on fire is to get out. No pets, toys or anything. When they Firefighter giving the tour asked what the first thing to do in a fire was 75% of the kids (Kindergartners) said "get out". Not too bad. Then they moved on to S.D& R......
Off to run a few errands this AM. Nightshift starts tomorrow......

I tell that to everybody. And it has nothing to do with fire safety!

That sounds so dirty when YOU say it!
Evening everyone. Raining. Got my clean shiny truck all dirty.

Heidi-dwi, domestic
assault and meth crimes are
most prevalent. We are starting to see more
gang related crime but I'm sure
it is
different than in other cities. Sux Looking tough on
a street corner at -40...
First post from my new iPhone.... Cool to surf while waiting to pick up the kid from school.

Evening DTR.
Got dads utility cart back together today. I ended up being able to straighten the front axle so he didn't have to buy one. Got it all together and running again. Worked on the farmall for a little while today. Looks like we're still going to fire it up tomorrow for the first time in almost 5 years. Only thing we have to install is the battery box and hook the cables up to it. Sheet metal is off until we get the diesel system bled and make sure nothing its leaking or wrong after starting it. Gonna have to find another project after the tractor is done. Think we might fix a few things on the loader tractor and maybe repaint it next. The loader has only 850 hrs on it but is 20 yrs old and spent most of its life in the weather.
The wife is feeling better today but still has the crud. Gonna go pick up dinner for her and I tonight. She wants food from the resturant down the road but doesn't wanna go anywhere, so it's carry out tonight.
