I tried this for the first time tonight. The wife even liked it amazingly enough. I came up with this on my own, but getting influence from some recipies that I saw somewhere.



The wife bought a small pork roast for dinner yesterday. I opened it up, with the intent of cooking it yesterday, but at the last minute she decided she didnt want that for dinner. So I figured I would marinate it for 24 hours, but in what??



First I dry-rubbed it with montreal chicken seasoning, which is great for pork.



Then, I coated it generously using a bottle of BOARS HEAD brand CREAMY HORSERADISH SAUCE. Put it in the fridge wrapped up last night, and tonight put it in the oven at 350 for 30-35 minutes per pound. The Horseradish sauce browned nicely, and combined with the seasoning, made a crusty coating. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!



I served it with some mashed potatoes and made a gravy using some of the drippings, water and corn starch.



Sometimes I do so good in the kitchen I amaze even myself! LOL!

First up Engine 76 they cover the hollywood bowl and cahuenga pass section of Hollywood

This engine carries Pirsch serial number 2314. It was delivered in March of 1957 to the town of Wellesley. It was later repainted lime, which I fixed. The lettering is not original, becuase my father (he is half owner) wanted it generic. I would have preferred original but hey can't win em all.



   



   



   



   



   



   



   



   



   



   

This is my 1962 Maxin former Webster, MA Engine 1. I got it last summer when the town sold it via sealed bid.



   



   



   

Sterling, Virginia is in Loudoun County. The Sterling Volunteer Fire Department runs from Station's 11 (Sterling) and 18 (Cascades). The Sterling Rescue Squad also has two stations - 15 and 25. Station 15 shares quarters with Fire Station 11 in Sterling and Rescue Station 25 shares quarters with Fire Station 18. The fire department and rescue squad are seperate organizations.



Both departments have recently received new apparatus.



Let's start on the fire department side.



Tower 11 is currently being prepared for service and will run with this 2006 Seagrave TPOAKK. It has a 104' bucket and carries serial number 87R01.



It has a four section steel ladder and carries quite a number of ladders - 40', 35', two 28', two 20', 14', and a Little Giant. A new color difference with Tower 11 compared to other Sterling fire units is that the roof is painted red.



The new Tower 11 replaces a 1991 Simon-Duplex/LTI 100' tower that was sold last year to the Harrisonburg, Virginia FD where I am told it has received a new paint job and is looking good.

Here it is before its purchase in 2004.

I realised that I had not posted this before in this part of the board, while there are photos of it in the Crown thread. This is the "Johnson Family" Crown Firecoach, #F1627. She is a 1970 Crown Pumper that was originally purchased by the Live Oak Fire Department in Santa Cruz County, CA. The department ultimately become Central Fire Protection [Santa Cruz County], and was then sold to the Felton Fire Department. She is in remarkably good shape for being a 37 year old truck and seems to be mechanically sound. She was driven across country [2885 miles] from Northern CA to Northern NJ where she now resides.
