Bruce - No apology is necessary, I'm just thankful you got untied and could join in!  Thanks also to Dave and Dave for your additions.  Every bit helps.

I wish everyone a great day with family and friends.  Eat well, just don't hurt yourselves!  For those who have to work today, I'll be thinking of you.  Been there, done that, appreciate all of you!

This post just once again, goes to show how things have changed in the fire service. Trucks used to be so unique with color and specification. Everything from trim, to colored wheels, to the overall fit and finish. Now, they're White and Red, or Black and Red, and you could pick the body up and set it right on another one.

 

Trav!
