There's not a whole lot a ride in the old Fire Engine can't cure. Here's a picture from tonight of my faithful friend sitting out front on its best behavior. It's still shiny from when I waxed it in June, too! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Next time you get a chance can you get me a driveway pic. I can put it in a folder with my Crown, always fun seeing fire trucks parked in residential driveways <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Hope all is going well.

And yes, I agree, there is nothing like a nice ride to calm one's nerve or just think things out. Truck is looking good !!

Sure. I'll do that today. I have to wash the Crown for tomorrow's muster anyway. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

LOL, yes. I had a boo-boo yesterday and about cut my thumb off when I was cutting an apple. When asked if I needed to be tended to like I was when I was little kid, I said no ... but a ride in the Fire Engine sure would make me feel better. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Hope your feeling better soon. I will have my squrt out this morning over at a local FD for pics. Want to get some of theirs for in here. Then also get some of the squrt in the bay if possible, it's a small house, then on the apron next to their Pierce pumper. They also got a Mack MR there. Don't see too many of them around !!

I'm just digging up old pictures again. All I know is it was taken before I was born. Then again, coming across a picture older than me isn't too hard to do around here. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[Guest]

Okay, okay. I know when this picture was taken because I was the one who parked the truck for everyone to get pictures of it. If only I had done half as good of a job taking the picture as I did parking the truck. Oh well, I didn't know any better at that time. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Another old picture ... Teach me how to drive! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol2:' />



It looks like I was driving through the lawn, but I wasn't. I promise.







(See, Lindsay. I even had the hat on back then.)

Truly a classic moment from my childhood; which really wasn't too long ago. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Today was the 40th Hope Heritage Days Parade in Hope, Indiana. This is a picture of the "wrong side," but the staging area we were in this year wasn't photo-friendly.

[Guest]

A mirror-shot. I'm never in the right spot to get a good picture during the parade. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Sometimes, someone is nice enough to take your picture.







Other times, you just have to take matters into your own hands. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The owner of this engine should send pics to the folks over at Yat-Ming.....This would look so good in that large diecast scale.

[Guest]

I believe that this will clarify which one is Old Gray and will clear up any misconceptions.
