i know, i know...i actually meant Las Vegas a in location. I figured if I said Clark County, nobody would know where the hell i was! good catch though.....so your color knowledge expands way out to the wild wild west, huh?? Thanks again for your message....service is tomorrow - that should be fun......

If it's a mattter of pissing some people off by flying a flag on the back of MY truck, well then i guess i wont do it. FYI - last July 4th i had a couple flying on the sides om my old truck - came out of the grocery - - gone. I'm sure stealing a flag is against the rules somewhere too, huh?SORRY I had to run out so quick on my thought yesterday...my brother( in law) was in the ICU yesterday and I had to go meet my family - he passed away last night.... god bless and stay safe Jimmy

Just checked out the "Flag rules". I never knew there were SO many rules regarding the flag. I try and stick to the usual ones everybody knows (directions, flying, dropping), but there are some we all "break". I coach my son's football team - i put flag decals on the back of all the helmets. (just like the NFL....nobody yells at them, do they? Everybody has (and is welcome to) their own opinion, if you will, regarding flags and their use. I personally think the flying of large flags on the back of rigs is a huge display of patriotism, but yes, sucure the hell out of it so it's not attached to MY windsheild wipers later! I know this has been said alot before, but i couldn't agree more - unfortunately, 9/11 brought out alot of the "bandwagon patriots, just cuz it looked cool. (I AM NOT QUESTIONING ANYONE"S PATRIOTISM BYTHAT, just to be clear). The flag should be flying Memorial day, July 4th, a Thursday afternoon in October, whatever...it shouldn't matter. Sorry -something just came up - I gotta jam.....later

Saw this one yesterday - gotta say, it would be hard as hell to miss them, but you know someone will...not to mention the giant yellow truck!!

First - how did you have that website so fast??? That is the right house, but the one i saw is not the one in the pic - theis one has to be brand new - i could post a pic if you know how to get it to show up on the board, or I could send it...

I saw this rig this morning when I was out a a site. It caught my eye from a distance, and I had to take a few shots. It's a Spartan rig - anybody have one like this? I waited to see the crew to take a look inside, but had to go....got a few more shots if interested...

Was this near 202?Going North as you pass 202, near the N/B ramp used to be real dangerous to merge on ...is it still that way? That would suck coming over that hill and............ That is one dangerous road to begin with without adding some nut job to the plan!

Amen X 2 My dad passed away in '82 (not LODD, but still with the dept) - I have a framed version of this someplace - just got a chill reading it again.... God Bless Mike and his entire family.

Hey PUMP, how are you looking to get all these together - I assume just snail mail to you? PM, or post - however you wanna do..... btw, gonna try and get somethimg fron Henderson Fire too - they have a house right by one of my projects....

got some friends in the City of Las Vegas - i'll try and track em down this weekend. think i have some old convention patches to - I'll look. . . Repetitive - so what - a good cause is a good cause!

I think the Dunkin' Donuts is probably the best part! God I miss their donuts AND coffee. - Closest one to me is Arizona, but damn sure i go there when i'm there! Sorry - off the sub alittle, but. . . .

Some seek to save old Mahopac firehouse By BARBARA LIVINGSTON NACKMAN THE JOURNAL NEWS (Original publication: June 9, 2006) just a few thoughts on this. . . . MAHOPAC — Some residents want to preserve the soon-to-be-razed Mahopac firehouse at Croton Falls Road and Route 6 for community use, possibly by senior citizens. The 1950s-era, two-story brick building is a recognizable landmark. . . .An eagle on an weather vane still spins atop the roof. First off - i hope this is getting saved - that and the ring in front are two things that i'm sure alot of people relate to that building. Mahopac resident Jerry Ravnitzky said it might make sense to use the money set aside for demolition to remodel the structure. Doing this for a living I can say - it take alot less to demo a building, than it wouild to renovate and repair 50+ years of wear and tear (NOT to say MFD hasn't kept up the building - just a construction viewpoint!) After considering renovations to the firehouse, fire commissioners determined that a new headquarters was needed to house the taller vehicles that do not fit inside any of the current four bays.. . . They also said that relocating the firehouse to the site's rear portion would open up crucial space needed to maneuver 47-foot firetrucks, which might preclude leaving the original building where it is. "When you save a building, you have to maintain it," she said. "I wish they were putting up a smaller new building. This one is overbuilt like much of Mahopac. But I think keeping the old one would add an additional expense that most of us can't take on." I'm sure it's not "overbuilt". new buildings have new technology, new needs, new designs, and most of all, more new space to put the rigs that god forbid, may come to her rescue someday. Everything changes - some good, some bad. New firehouses - almost requirement these days, since many have been around for a long, long time. Look at Ossining's new house - I practically grew up in the old one, and I'mpretty sure i'm right to say that was long overdue for an upgrade. I bet the "new" Rescue 14 was pretty tight in the old house..... Again, just my humble opinion on all - No disrespect intended to ANYONE!

...i agree notice i said "others block them"! I've cleaned up enough bike accidents in my time... on the breakdown lane part - yes i would block a CAR, because out here if there is the slightest traffic, everybody thinks that turns into a traffic lane.........right up until they get up to the cos sitting on the shoulder in front of them!!

Well, here in the capital of "no turn signals", i probably see one or two a week, that, in traffic, just fly down the lines, between the lanes. Usually if they are seen coming, someone will block them back. you gotta be out of your mind to run down the lines like that......road kill comes to mind. Hopefully, i hope i don't see the day where one is flying thru the air past me...

had limewire on my pc - (this is thinkpad) - Before I had to sweep the entire computer clean, and reload EVERYTHING from scratch, i found over 800 viruses, or programs running things in the background that I couldn't normally see, that attached itself to every damn thing. Not bashing limewire, cuz it is cool, but definitely not worth the hassle. Everybody i asked, including the repair person i brought in - first question - where does your music come from? just my 2c....... btw, any other good music sites recommended?

I read a long while back( I think on Rescue 14's website) that they were getting a new boat. Is that just old, and they are referring to the current "Boat 14", or is there a new one in the works?

anybody on here a "blue vest"?? my dad was - got one of his plaques on the wall behind me. Used to have alot of fun with it! ((Royal Order of the Nut Busters is actually on the patch!))

I might be able to break away from work to check it out, considering it's about 3 miles from my office! that worked out good, huh?----entrance costs, requirements, anyone?

looks like ossining cleaning up again - which ladder won - Senate or Washington Hook?

24 beers a day for 8 years........Apparently this guy did absolutely nothing else but sit around and drink. Ya think he went out drivin somewhere in there? Like you said, I'll belive it when the pics post (No Photshops either! )

Ethanol pumps are starting to pop up all over Vegas lately. Not to sound like a bone head, but what is the deal with it. It's a little cheaper, but it's only 85 octane where i've seen it. Is this good, considering it's only about 8-10 cents cheaper than 89? Then again, 10 cents a gallon in a thirsty new Ram wouldn't be a bad thing......

Where was that? Ya know, if they make a movie like this (not that I agree AT ALL), you think they would AT LEAST film it in the damn city. Morons.

i saw a preview on tv the other day - I believe Nicolas Cage was NYPD in it. This is going to be real touchy. I don't see the point in reliving it on film - isn't there enough film from that day? Pretty pathetic if you ask me......

Have you thought about a mailing address, or PO box for danations as well? Nothing against PayPal, just another avenue (which I would drive down!)

how many people you figure got lost in there!!!! great picture!!
