Took a little jaunt today. Just over an hour each way... should have been at least. Traffic was pretty heavy BOTH toward the beaches & surprizingly away too. All lanes had vehicles... almost going the speed limit... but all lanes were backed up too. And at the front of each backed up lane... some *** **** who is afraid to freakin drive. It's amazing how a couple of slow pokes can back up the interstate. I know, I should be more patient. It's bad for my blood pressure, I'm sure. The IDIOTS are oblivious to all the other drivers on the road. If it was just one, you could maneuver around them... the roads are full of them... AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Mike, are you gonna get paid for doing "repair and maintenance" on the equipment this time???:spend:

No. I'm not doing maintenance this time.I'm going to stay mostly to my own fire station. They have already elected a maintenance person in Whitebird Idaho which is getting paid. Great for him. But at least I don't have to spend long hours working on trucks. All I got to do is report any issues to the Fire Chief and/or Chairman of the Board.
