well, good shortround!! hope all the winds are at your back, and the best scenery is when your wife isn't watching...oops I meant that you can share the scenery.

yeah, well there you have the pro's opinion, so don't think it was you furball! I am staying away from you as i think you are somewhat frustrated that a one day project took three.....check the air pressure on the gun, ...yadayada

fixed some stuff, hubby took me for a bike ride out for a really good fish fry. even pecan pie. pays to keep my mouth shut. installing a speed bag next to the heavy bag, got to focus.
left the 12 inch set down pipe at tractor supply in town.......

Thanks, Matt.

Ok, got the floor washed, gettin ready to tape it and touch some stuff up.

Beer is goin, taking it easy, tho. Getting ready for the baby's 4th birthday party. Angie made this awesome sponge bob cake... that thing is off the hook. She is incredibally talented, I don't deserve a woman like her!

Ok, off to some tape.

Evening all.

Just got home not too long ago. Talked to Mark on the phone for a few. Was so nice to hear your voice...er...talk to you.

Taking it easy. House to myself tonight - so I'm gonna crank up some good country, drink some beers, and clean. Tough thing bein a clean guy living amongst dirty roommates. Ah well. Somebody's gotta do it.

Not much in these parts. Got my hairs trimmed. I look sex(ier) now.

Later

Jb

A guy is riding a train and he looks over to see Albert Einstein. He asks Mr. Einstein "do you know if boston stops at this train?"
My 15 year old told me that joke yesterday.
Sad part is, he gets it.

When the person responsible for running the department grows a set and puts his/her foot down. 3 people can NOT execute a safe and effective interior attack of a structure fire. All it does it put FF's in unnecessary danger on top of the danger they already have to face with near full staffing. What should be done is interior rescues if it's possible, then surround and drown until something resembling safe staffing levels are returned. It's being done around the country already but more chief officers need to step up to the plate.

Good to see you again Wyo!

I am on a 3 man truck co. We run down to 3 often, and we are very proficient operating like that. Yes it can be done, but I agree with you. It is a lot safer with at least 4.

No pictures from me, I will get some form work and post them.

Evening Don,

There is a high degree of probability we are headed that way also.
