I am a fire chief for a paid on call fire department, I work as a sales representive for a ag supply company . I am married to my best friend, and have 6 kids and as of today 14 grandchildren. The last few years have been an emotional battle as I reflect on my life. I feel that for too long I have been concentrating on things that will not last for eternity.

Start of the week,
Will it is Sunday afternoon, finished up some training drills, finally got about 25-30 that should hold for a while, tomorrow night we start something new at training, it will require that my Lt. do a little planning and fore thought before they get to the meeting. I think it will take 6-8 months of the new schedule for us to see if it is working. If it doesn't work, I am at a complete loss to find a way to get done what needs to be done. Hit this spot with another department about 18 months ago, and finally left, my usefulness had hit the wall. They seem to be doing okay, though they went through some real rough spots. My car is still in the shop, has a problem maintaining oil pressure when the engine gets hot. Could be oil pump or bearings, I think neither one sounds good. Time will tell. Had hoped to have heard from a couple people this week, but didn't, kind of a bummer. Patience is not one of my strong points. Work this week will be a change, have to go see one of my more demanding customers. He is always changing his mind, that is his right, but we can't change gears as fast supply wise as he can. Have to go to school tomorrow for fire prevention with the 2nd. grade. This is maybe why I am still on the department, absolutely love those kids, even if last years class cost me over $400 for pizza. They are like little sponges, and I don't have to watch what I say in regard to them. Don't need to be politically correct. Need to make a few calls yet this afternoon so I guess I will close this rambling. After tomorrow night may have a whole lot more to ramble about.
