    Hey Steve! All is well here in FL. You need to come down for a visit, tour, and some photography. Let me know and I will have a place for you to stay and a rig to ride!

    Steve, heard that you've been down for a little bit. Hope you are feeling better and hope to see you on the fire ground soon. Take care and give us a call at squad 1 or soon to be squad 2 for lunch. BE SAFE!
