HAPPY NEWS DAMNIT!!

OK, Everybody is posting bad news on their sites..
Subliminalkoolaid is talking about the tornado in '99, Kim DuToit is depressed about the death of a second friend this year, (and rightly so, sorry for your loss Kim..)

I have decided to post HAPPY NEWS!

I got the results from my part time test..

I am tied for third on the eligibility list. This means as soon as my Firefighter I certification is here, I get one more interview, (my Chief's interview) and HOPEFULLY will be offered a position.

This weekend is a shooting competition, and the Lovely Wife shoots for free, because of Mothers Day.

I am getting my new tattoo on Tuesday next week!

My best friend is meeting up with me at the Annual Washington State Search and Rescue Conference in Leavenworth, WA. in a few weeks.

There! All sorts of good news!

The Springfield Armory M1A. We are talking about a rifle steeped in history, shoots an OUTSTANDING round, and is reliable, (we are talking about a Garand action after all!)

M1a Specs:

• Caliber: 7.62mm NATO (.308 Win.)
• Barrel: 22", Twist: 1 turn in 12 inches, right hand, four-groove Std Carbon Steel Barrel
• Size Weight: 9.2 pounds, Length: 44 1/3" long

OK, the $1500 price tag may be a little tough to justify to the wife.. Any good excuses I could use to justify buying one??

Work, work, work..

They hosed my schedule this month so I am working all sorts of odd hours, mostly 12 hour night shifts. I kinda like it.. I have worked 24 hour Mondays for the last 18 months, so this is kind of a cool change. Anyway, I am off to the station.. PIG pic is ready to be posted tomorrow, so watch out for it.

Ciao!

Roll Of Honor..

The National Fallen Firefighter Memorial has announced it's 2005 Honor Roll.

These are the 99 firefighters who died in the line of duty last year, along with four others who will be inducted from previous years and didn't have their names on the rolls.

God Speed Brothers..
