On The Dusk of 2008

New Year's Eve is tommorrow already! Whew I can hardly believe it! I am excited for the festivities tommorow night! I have playing in a bluegrass band and practicing for the opening act of tommorows New Years Eve show! There will also be a band playing rock music for the main entertainment! It will be great to hear some live music and see everyones talents come alive!

It has been a good day today! Started off with the usual stretching led by Don Potter for all the FEMC folks on swing shift. At the weekley Fire Crew meeting we practiced getting all our gear on as fast as we could. You are supposed to be dressed and on air in under 2 minutes. I almost beat Monty but I had trouble with my pack straps and he beat me. On our last trial 'Kiwi' Mark beat us all in about 1min 30 sec! Work was more time spent taking an inventory of the cargo berms and shoveling.

There has been a lot of precipitation in the air in the form of ice crystals, it creates amazing halos and arcs around the sun and bands of colour through the sky! It is one of the most unusual and beautiful things I have seen.

There was also a round of pub trivia tonight hosted by Dan. My team came in second winning two out of four rounds. Gus and I will be hosting next weeks trivia!
Time to sleep before tommorrows festivities!!!!
