10 years and counting

Hard to believe that it's already been 10 years in the Fire Service. Time has really gone by fast. When I sit down & think about it, I haven't even really seen a lot of fires as per say!

I've fought a few, but nothing major where we can "surround & drown" the place. I guess that just means that Dieppe Fire is very efficient!

We had our open house this weekend (Oct 7th) and that's where I was presented with my 10 years of Service Maple Leafs. Also, during that time, Allison & Olivia came down & I was able to snap some good pictures with Olivia. You can see them on my Flickr page.

Other then that, not a whole lot is going on. I'm still waiting for news about some movement, so it's still all hush hush, but I'll let you know as soon as I know something. I'm sort of anxious to get it all over with and I have to be careful that it doesn't affect my current performance.

Well, that's about all I've got for right now....

'til next time!

New Adventure

Well, I'm on vacation!

That's right! We are leaving for Toronto on Sunday Morning - bright & early! Keep your eyes open because I'll be snapping some pics with my camera phone & posting them to my flickr account.

Also, whenever I can get a connection, I'll try to post an update of how the trip is going & where we are so far in our journey!

Stay tuned!

Sunday - what a day

Well, Sunday was our daughters baptism. It was a beautiful ceramony. The way that it was done is the church had 3 family having baptisms done. The funny part is that we each knew each other.

The first family was the lady who did our early childhood learning class, the second family was Erin, Allison's sister, and of course we where there.

The great thing was that the minister that baptised Olivia was the same minister that married Allison & I 6yrs ago! That was really nice of her to be able to do that for us.

We then went to Allison's grandmother's house & spent most of the day there. All of the family was invited & we had a brunch. It was really good.

Other then that, not a whole lot going on lately. Work is still pretty busy and I'm trying to make the most of it! It's sometimes frustrating, but I guess that's just the way work is. I mean, the worst thing is that I'm getting frustrated for deals that the clients are screwing up themselves.

Oh, I almost forgot!

We had a house fire on Sunday morning. I wasn't able to attend, as mentioned above, but the guys where on scene from approx 0900 to 1430... It must have been a long day! According to the Times & Transcript, the fire was under control within 20 to 30 minutes. Overhaul is always the longest part of the fire. Making sure that all the hotspots are out.....

I discovered another great site today! It's called flickrvision. It allows you to see what people are uploading to flickr from around the world in real time. It's pretty neat. You get to see the pics & if you want to see them larger, just click & voila!

Well that's pretty much all that i've got for now!

'til next time!
