Star drill

Well once again I took and passed our departments Star drill (yearly agility test)
It takes me about 9 minuets and 2000 p.s.i of air from the S.C.B.A. to complete it.
I am allowed 16 minutes to do so but I would have to crawl to finish with that time
Its walk 600 ft
Climb a ladder twice
Lift 40 lbs 20 times
Strike a block 20 times with an 8 lb sledge
Walk 300ft
Carry a 40 lb hose bundle 50 ft
Drag a charged 1 ¾” hose 50 ft
Climb a ladder twice again
Walk 300ft with a canvas salvage cover (tarp)
And walk another 300 ft.

In full turnouts and air pack, and mask on, on tank air
About 85 lbs of gear….do you all know how bad I hate ladders
Anyway that’s over for a year…now lets burn a house down

It was a big weekend Megan Turned 22 and she put up the 2 baker tents and had a party
I do believe fun was had by most.


We have been tearing into a jungle in the lower yard and it has been a project, there are dead
trees and blackberry vines thicker than your thumb with thorns as big as cats claws and dreaded English Ivy, I hate Ivy and blackberry.


Its me and the Hoe................NO COMMENTS

We, the unwilling,led by the unknowing,
