A busy weekend
Saturday I responded to four calls from my volunteer fire department. Two were EMS calls, the third was a motor vehicle accident that we were turned back while en route and the fourth was a brush fire. Pretty much made sure I couldn’t enjoy my Saturday. I can’t talk about the EMS calls, what with HIPPA and everything.
The brush fire was pretty tame. Got to use my new helmet and boots. The helmet is a little heavier than are old helmets, but they fit better. The boots pinched at first, but tramping around woodlands putting out small fires started the break-in process nicely.
We received a FEMA grant so we could get new turnout gear. The boots came in first and the helmets arrived this past week. We’re still waiting on our new jackets and pants. They should be in by the end of the month. I’ll see if I can get a picture to post.
Today I mowed the lawn before going to church. After church, we came home, had a little lunch and then tackled cleaning out our back room. It had been junked up since we moved in a little over a year ago and we never got a around to actually getting it squared away.
I have laid claim to half the room so it may be used for gaming-related activities. I have a desk for painting and model building. A couple of 2 ½’ x 7’ folding tables serve as a game table that can be put away if we’re entertaining. There’s also a couple of bookshelves that are jammed with history and rule books. Some of my wife’s books have infiltrated, but they’ll get moved aside over time. Eventually, we’ll have a TV with a DVD player in the room. That will make watching a game-related movie that much easier. I’ll post pictures once everything is done.
