How about lightening things up a touch and getting away from the day to day discussions.Im thinking about a quick look into everybodys daily activities, what do you all typically do day in and day out, whether it be work or pleasure? Lets see some pictures of some scenery if your outside, or maybe equipment you may wrench on or operate, whatever it is you may do. Ive come to realize in the year Ive been here I dont know a whole lot about many of you, so lets open it up a bit. (Hopefully this hasnt been done in the past)Ill throw one out from the other day I took from work pulling a dip tube out of a vessel. 36" pipe x 40 feet long. The smaller crane (furthest in the pic) is a 55 ton Grove with a cat and the one sitting closest is a grove 9130 (130 ton) with a cummins. Ive got some more Ill dig up from my camerapost-11861-138698199736_thumb.jpgso come on lets see some insight into your guys day!

This is what my jobsite looks like for now. Just playing in the dirt. But turn 180* and I think I found some weekend entertainment that provide some interesting pictures in the future.post-10340-138698199795_thumb.jpgA 1/8 mile drag strip and 1/4 mile dirt track. Their season opens up this weekend.

DRipley we were working in Toledo a few years back building a water treatment plant and the hotel we were staying in was literally within walking distance of a dirt track. They ran every Friday night and practice on Tuesdays. Lots of sprints and outlaws. We looked forward to it as there was nothing else to do except stare out at the Lake and count the waves :duhZukifreek, it looks COLD where your at!Ryan too bad were not closer I think we could have some fun on the wheelers. Headed to Hatfield McCoy in exactly one month to go wheelin

Hey stodg does that ambulance have the Dmax in it? I dont think Ive ever seen the newer GM ambulance bodies like that before. The last time I was in PA I was rolling through a small community and they had a brand new dodge ambulance sitting outside the volunteer station. Ive been seeing some Dodge 5500 wheel lifts around lately tooMike your kind of the reason I figured Id start a thread like this you often put pics up of yourself or things you have going on but not very many of us do.Hopefully this will help us all get just a little more familiar with each other :wink:

Yes, the ambulances here all are GM/Chevrolet Products with the Duramax.

Fire Station 1 - Pinehurst - My Home station with Engine 1 the cracker box and my 1 ton Chevy 6.5L diesel brush truck.

I know this is the wrong picture but close enough. Firewood harvesting. Some years I get lucky to sell some firewood for some extra funds.

post-2-138698199967_thumb.jpg

One of my favorite fire trucks is the 2 1/2 ton military trucks. This one happens to be 1000 gallon water tender for up at station 2. Man that is one fun truck to drive even off road.
