She's doing pretty well, thanks for asking bud! We went to her open house at kindergarten last night. Her first day is tomorrow. The wife and I will be taking her, so I won't be on here til later in the morning. She gets her stitches out (at least the ones that haven't fallen out already) Friday afternoon.

Mornin guys, i'm only on my second pot of coffee, so remembering all the names off hand is nearly impossible.

Forgive me.

"Coffee is like liqueur if taken out of average consumption levels, once you go over the edge, the amount needed to satisfy the said person increases, it's sucks that we're Irish, and from Boston, a mix of both, long live home made Irish cream.....drink up before I drink yours too" -- Dad

I would like an opinion, I am looking into a set of air horns for the truck, and I have always been a huge fan of the Grover Stutter horns, in case you've never heard OF them, I can guarantee you've heard them in passing, the fire trucks are equipped with them, as you know they have that distinctive rasp.

My uncle was a fire fighter for 14 years outta Boston, and since then loved the sound of em.

lemme see what you think.

Pat........I think you may approve, and if I happen to swing through your parts, i'll be sure to stop in so you can take a gander for yourself, in fact, wife and I are planning to visit my brother in Elkhorn, WI in the spring......haven't see him since he lost his son to cancer in March.

Neil, I was waiting for you to spark up on this........seriously.
I wish I could be a firefighter man, I love the big trucks, I had an old federal "Q" siren in my garage for a while, was gonna put it on my truck, but it went missing when a former friend moved out.

Are you an actual Fire Fighter? or just appreciate what they do?
