Hardworkers.

Day 5 - [03.27.10]

Meet Zach and Mike. They are two very hardworking students in fire class, can't you tell? ;)

We had been doing training for a couple hours by the time this picture was taken and the three of us had been done with that station for a while. Mike was talking to me about my 365 projects and said that I should pull my camera out. So I did. Then when I took this picture he said it could be day 5's photo. I agreed.

In all honesty, they had the right idea. I joined them shortly after the picture was taken. The ground + the log as a backrest = perfect place to relax. And it was a decent day to be out training, cold at first, but it turned out to be really nice.

Prior to the picture, we worked on hooking up a foam line, then after we worked on setting up a gated wye and clamping a hose and then squirted some water. Training can be kinda boring for Zach and I because Dad (aka Chief) sets up training sessions for us one a month and we covered a lot of this stuff already, but that's ok. I would rather be bored than feel stupid and not know what is going on.

I can't believe that in one month and four days we will be taking our exam! The past few months have flown and I have mixed feelings about finishing up class. Anyhow, I figured since I spent my entire day with one or both of these two today that they were significant enough to make it into this project, I guess. :P

Song of the Day:

Feel That Fire by Dierks Bentley

[Ok, I think I need to stop saying "I love this song!" I think it's obvious I love the song if I'm listing it. If I don't, I'm sure the explanation would make this clear. I heard this song repeatedly today, and even made it my facebook status. When we would get ready to go out to the bull over the summer, this song was listened to often and was one of my most used songs to steal lyrics for my facebook statuses. Maybe one day I'll feel that fire. . . until then, I'll just continue to enjoy my life as is. . . :) ]

[I was looking for a fireman quote when I found this one. It is funny because of the significance of that to the day. . . no explanation listed here though. :) ]
