Morning all.

Back on the road home again. Took route 20 for awhile instead of getting right back on the tru-way. Kind of neat seeing the little towns and cities instead of hours of highway.

My business partner/best friend Michael is all excited this morning, and rightfully so. He's been named by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Dept., of Fire Services, as the Statewide Coordinator of Juvenile Fire Setter and Public Fire & Life Safety Programs. Big accomplishment for him.

Raining hard here in Buffalo NY... hopefully we'll drive out of it.

Talk to you all in a while.

ofc marc, read about US Postal service stopping the Christmas from Santa letters at North Pole, AK. will Santa email all the kids now?
stated Fairbanks AK will handle some, Anchorage being fake.others will just get dumped. sad, so sad. sniff!

congrats to michael, scott! good for both of you! do we need to send you some juveniles now to promote business?LOL

Big Scotty, okay- I have to ask- is that you in the picture avatar?

raining here and doing paperwork, much more to go and I needed a break.

at 200 lbs, when usually 130, I LOVE to push mow uphill and on the rugged terrain. better weight loss. sitting out a turn is better than drugs when I get to simply stare at incredibly beautiful scenery.

Ravens here, in Six Nation territory are sacred as well. when hunting or camping, if one appears -you have to feed it for good luck. Ravens are trainable too. crows on the other hand....my orange cat (who thinks she's a real tiger) takes care of those pesky things...

got a 10,000 dollar hospital bill from out West. one ER trip for a CT and some pain med. same stuff here in NY state cost me $760 total including doctor fees. Can you say Health care reform that stops the abuses of federal regulation loopholes? I am floored.

Oh my goodness - - what a title. His business card will have to be 3x5 in order to get that title all on it. Tell Michael congrats.

Worked on the fiver for two days - - scrubbed that sucker from the roof to the ground - - boy it was bad. Redid roof caulking, replaced missing vent cover, pulled the battery slide tray out and worked it over from corrosion - - man I am tired. Up and down that ladder. Poor bum shoulder is screaming at me. But, it's done. HURRAH. Now get to clean up the interior.

OK, going in the shower and get beautiful -- - again. Getting harder and harder to accomplish that. ggrrrrrr

Thanks Sis! And NO, we don't need the referrals right now! Actually, everyone has been commenting this week about how quiet it's been with regards to juveniles. We thought it was just from the firesetting aspect, but a couple of court people have told us that they've seen very little juvenile activity of ANY kind for the last few months. Kinda strange.

I told him and he said 'thanks!'.

Made it home in the daylight for a change! All *seems* to be well here, nothing obviously broken or missing... yet.

Yes, very sad. Mayor of Northpole is raising all heck with the Post master trying to get that situation fixed.

Y'all are so silly. Those birds weren't morning, they were laughing. Haven't any of you ever said..........hold my fermented beverage and watch this.

Well, true to form, it's been an interesting week. I got to work a little for a buddy this week running his loader building a pad for a building. Just operator pay but it's more than I was making sitting at home. I also lost an old friend. A super fellow I knew from my LEO days passed this week. Ray drove wrecker for the towing company that serviced our city. I can't really tell you allot about him but the one thing I always knew was I never had to worry about my back if he was on the call. He always took care of us and the favor was always returned.
