Congrats Bill! Mike

That's a purty apparatus......for a quint. Mike

Well EJS, it depends on the context. If they just say "Fully Involved" that means the WHOLE structure is on fire. If they say "Side C Fully Involved" well, you get the idea. Mike

I HAVE MORE!!!!! A 1950 Autocar: A 1926 American LaFrance: A crappy shot of a 1951 American LaFrance 700 series pumper: More to come later. Mike

Finally have some more! First up a 1955 Seagrave: A 1955 Ahrens Fox: Mike

Congrats! Have fun with your new "bundle of joy." The reason 'bundle of joy' is in quotes, is because of all the dirty diapers. Mike

Let me guess, the kid looking straight at the camera? Mike

Simple answer: Too many EGOS. People are too proud of their piece of 'turf.' That would be a great idea, but egos and pride are 2 big roadblocks. Mike

A darker BLUE! Or purple from being unconscious (if I spelled that right)! But why would you want to choke a smurf anyways? Mike

LIGHTEN UP good sir! Mike

Well, if you all joined the chat, it would actually make time fly! ....and you got that right! Mike

CHAT IS GOING ON NOW!!!!! .....well, it was

BUMP

Actually Cap, you may drown, but you may also freeze to death. Liquid oxygen is 200 plus degrees BELOW ZERO. Mike

Totally didn't need to see a Rep. or Sen. from Congress in lipstick, but some are women anyway. Mike

Another BUMP

NICE!!!!! Mike

The WHOLE patch collection from across the nation was there. However, there was no patch collection just from MA. As for Paxton, they're in our Fire District (Mutual Aid Network, not our jurisdiction) and courtesy of the District's website here's their patch: Mike

BUMP

I shalt be there! If my computer doesn't crash/freeze.....again. Mike

Hey, if you still want to volunteer there are multiple combo depts. down there. Here's a link to everything fire dept. for the Cape: capecodfd.com Jack, have a fun time in retirement. I suggest if you move to the Cape, go to Yarmouth or Hyannis, most everything is there. I also highly reccomend deep-sea fishing. Mike

Probably get more gas mileage too! Mike

Was it the hand truck with buckets on it? If so, I don't have a photo of it. Mike

Vacguy, that's a Negative. If I saw it, I didn't notice it. Thanks guys! I really tried my best for the photos! On a side note, MANY more photos to put up here. Mike

I currently scan with a Radioshack PRO-528. I've made 'upgrades' to it by purchasing the following: Radioshack Adapt-a-Plug/Rechargable Batteries (Plug it in every night to charge 'em) and 2 antennas: a Radioshack 800 Mhz Trunking antenna. and I now scan with a Radioshack VHF/UHF antenna, brand new, (purchased it only 8 hours ago) to increase my scanning power. (Buff multiple 30 MHZ range frequencies and 800 MHZ trunked system as well as several 150 MHZ frequencies.) Yes, I know I ask alot of my scanner, but it works, and it has taken a few hits. It's really a great scanner, but it has a downside, I can't program PLs. Forgot 1 thing: Every frequency and channel was programmed BY HAND into this scanner. So what do YOU scan with? Mike
