it’s been a long day’s night.
i’ve been going to the hurst citizens fire academy meetings every monday night for 9 weeks now. saturday i went to the fire station and hung out for 10 hours, hoping to get to ride out on the fire truck on a call. whenever i got to the station, the truck had just gotten in from a bad suicide call. we all go in and get situated and 2 hours go by… i’m hanging out in the mess room watching tv… 3 more hours go by and i realize that i may not get to ride out… the guys come in to have diner, they make beans, cornbread, and bratwurst. after diner we go hang out in the watch room and i finally leave at 9:30 without ever getting on the fire truck. bleh… i’m trying to get to ride out again, just depends on if there is another time available.
in tonight’s class, we got to use the power tools to cut two cars apart. aside from the bunker gear being so hot, it really was a lot of fun. we pulled the roof off of a coupe deville and basically tore the cars up.
it’s been fun. our graduation is in 2 weeks. i’ll post a lot of pictures from our class when i get the cd of the 12 weeks of projects. :)
anyway, lots of work going on. i need to get to bed, got to be up early tomorrow. bleh.
