We haven't gone so far as to set up an online auction althoug we plan to do so if there are any items left over.

Maybe you can get Bruce to be your local proxy bidder. Contact him and get his cell phone number and you can call in your bids!

Remind me and I'll let you know when we set up the auction site.

Either way all three are close. Get the cheapest ticket and look forward to some fun. We have a lot planned already.

It's different--two eng's, truck, district chief, fast car--busy, but love it. I traveled last shift to 29's and got a fire and worked B shift and got another fire!
Had a good time with your rookies and the flashover...hope all is well with you see ya 15 FOOLS mtg.

Things are hectic here, but we'll get by. I can't make the convention. We have a family vacation the next week and Balto after that. Are you going up there this year? If so, we'll have to hoist a few. Stay Safe.
