Miss me?
I'm back, you couldn't get rid of me that easy. I took a two month hiatus and I wanted to catch you up on what went on. Last time I spoke with you I was leaving my job and starting a three week vacation before starting with Plano FD. During the break I was able to spend some quality time with the family, play lots of golf, and get some much needed rest. Also Keelie and I went up to NYC for a few days to eat pizza and walk on the island that has millions of people on it, but is smaller in land area than DFW airport. I also slung some works and help put on a firework show in Gunter on the weekend of the 4th for D&M (Davis and Miller) fireworks of Gunter, TX. Next year make D&M your one stop shop for all your pyro needs. Then I started my four week orientation for Plano where I went Monday thru Friday from 8-5 where we took some test, practice drills and skills, had a live burn day in the Texas heat putting out fires in a burn tower, and was just filled with as much info as they could possibly squeeze in four weeks. I graduated from the orientation on July 17th and started my first shift on the 21st where I continue to only work every 3rd day or 10 days a month. Did I say only 10 DAYS A MONTH, "it's nice real nice." I just came off shift this morning and it was a long night so I'm sure something in this recap doesn't make sense or wasn't used properly. Anyways it's good to be back amongst you, loving the extra time off, and loving being a firefighter for the City of Plano.
