  1. Nice looking rig, looks to have been well taken care of, good luck with it and I love the color, you guys knew that one was coming.
  2. Joe we will blow the air horns from the support vehicles on the way by.
  3. Type in the search box and you will find several others threads on the TJI joists as well, you can also click on my company's website located in my signature and navagate to the training page and the first link sends you to a site that covers all the aspects of the building process. Also at the bottom of the page there is a box to click, Fire Frame, it gives a 3-D rendering of a building and it's components. It's worth a look for the younger or newer firefighting group. Here is the link that was already posted http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=trusses
  4. Holy crap, what else can you say, this is a major screw up that no excuse can justify.
  5. I know it is only Tuesday but the extended forecast looks good for Saturday, we will make sure we take plenty of pictures to share of the trip home.
  6. All the paperwork is completed and her journey back to Wassaic will be this weekend, weather permitting.
  7. Further more those unions that have been able to agree with the state in good faith on a contract last year now Patterson is trying to take the deals back. I know as we all do that these are tough and we all know that we need to cut back, this man stands ZERO chance at re-election. How does he think we can pay for college for our kids, we have a visit to Manhattanville college tomorrow with my son. How do you tell your kids I can't afford to send you to school? We encourage them throughout their school days and then say Sorry either you go into debt for the rest of your life to pay for school or get a job at Mickie D's making $6. an hour and throw your dreams and goals in the dumpster when you take out the garbage at night. Poor kids today are screwed even before they start. This whole thing is just a frggin head shaker!!!! Enough of my rantings, sorry guys.
  8. I'm not sure how acurate this is but I heard there are like an estimated 8 million $$$ worth of painting and art in the state buildings, sell the damn things to raise some $$$$$.
  9. Here is the link outlining the reduction in workforce. http://publications.budget.state.ny.us/eBu...eWorkforce.html It's just amazing to look at Patterson's proposals. So he wants to not give me a raise at least until MAYBE 2012 so that makes it 6 years without a COLA and then he wants to take 5 days pay away from me too, I guess he believes that I should be happy that I have a job.
  10. http://publications.budget.state.ny.us/eBu...tiveBudget.html Having Code Enforecement certification as part of my job with NYS, we have already been advised that we may not be offered the required 24 hours of inservice training by NYS and that we may have to seek it through the private sector. NYS Codes has lost a few instructors and may be down to 5 or 6 by 1/09 and they may be teaching the basic training only. The outlook clearly is bleak for NYS. Being a state employee and a union shop stewart it will be interesting to see what transpires. We have been without a contract for almost three years, without raises and any cost of living adjustments and the cost of EVERYTHING rising you just wonder how to hell people can just afford to live.
