I do a good job of being light hearted and witty,
but there is one thing that keeps me warm at night
and that is a very Sound hatred for Wolves, The two

my flock, would I step up and stand between the flock
and the pack? ....Hell yes. I am a mutt, but still a sheep dog

Before I pass on to better pastures......take the long dirt nap.

Will the sky fall????

My words for the week

2009-04-23T22:12:00.000-07:00

can you say

Glyphosate

Developed by Monsanto in the 70's it was called Roundup
it kills Plants dead. I pay $88.00 for 2.5 gallons of generic
instead of the $125.00 for brand name

Also
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
Also called 2 4-D its a broad leaf herbicide (Dandelions)
I can spray it on my hay field and the non grass weeds disappear

so that's what my week....besides my 9-5 job

I killed weeds on Earth day

LMAO

The Oak

2009-04-06T14:28:00.001-07:00

Around Our area we have several Scourges

Himalayan blackberry
English Ivy
Scotch Broom
and Poison Oak

the first three make you cuss and sweat, but the last one will leave its

revenge on you. My Daughters Boyfriend ( we will call him L ) got

the Oak or wood herpes as he calls it.

If you never have had it count your blessings, if you have ever had it

you know what I'm talking here. Not pleasant, There are a few things

you can do to ward of the evil of the Oak, our friends just down the road

at Tec Labs make a substance I swear by (not at) Called "Tecnu".

Getting the oil off of your skin without getting it into your system is

a pain in the Buttocks, and this stuff works well, we even wash our

woodland fire gear in it.

My Father-in-law said the Local blacktail deer ate loads of the Oak

and never suffered from it and that if you ate the deer you would

become immune to the stuff. It's a homeopathic sort of thing but I

think he was right. Also my Daughter brought home Honey that

is made from Poison-oak blossoms…..and its good, once again

homeopathic principles at work.

Have a stomping good week

In the garden and stuff

2009-04-05T20:51:00.000-07:00

We cleaned in the garden space this weekend.
It tends to get messy over the winter. I don't
know why but there are weeds to pull and spray
there are rodents and varmints to kill and the
compost has been neglected all winter.
We planted vegetable starts and cursed the blackberries.
and enjoyed a 70 degree day, Oh was it wonderful,
I am getting ready to re manufacture a hole bunch of
8mm Mauser ammo. and I believe I will buy some
copper gas checks and cast up a couple hundred bullets,
I have been polishing brass and sorting it,
(it keeps me out of trouble)
last night a motorcycle sped by the house at well
over 100 mph and not long after that there was a
sheriffs cruiser code 3, then another, and another
with two more sitting in our driveway and watching the road
(silly little meth boy you cant outrun Motorola). LMAO
I went out and told the Deputies They rocked
and to beat the little bastard for me also.

You all have a good week and hug and kiss your family.

Important women's health issue

2009-03-20T12:57:00.001-07:00

Important women's health issue Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
Do you suffer from shyness?
Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Margaritas.

Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions.

Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles
that prevent you from living the life you want to live.

Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past.   You will discover many talents you never knew you had.

Stop hiding and start living, with Margaritas. Margaritas may not be right for everyone.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Margaritas.

     However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include:
      Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration Erotic lustfulness
Loss of motor control
Loss of clothing
Loss of money
Loss of virginity
Attraction to the same sex
Table dancing
Headache
Dehydration
Dry mouth
A desire to sing Karaoke

WARNING:
  The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
   WARNING:
  The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
WARNING:
The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to think you can sing.
WARNING:
The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you can logically converse with
  members of the opposite sex without spitting.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The new Engine

2008-11-09T00:25:00.000-08:00

some pictures of the engine and my little station that did

We went into Main station and worked on pumping 233 from the tank and then switching to a static source and back again, its a strange lil beast cuz she has a two cylinder diesel Aux. pump
along with the 1500 G.P.M. Hale main pump
here she is with our other sub stations engine 232 and I will add 232 is a cool engine
I had to take a pic of our big stick, we got it from our neighboring town for a dollar and it responds about once every other year? it barely fits in the House

Have a great week folks and remember

this is going to be my next bumper sticker

2008-10-28T22:06:00.000-07:00

So Honest to God I was going to go to Drill tonight ....then Mrs fyreman decided to go work on her tree stand. That was not a problem, what was a problem was she had new straps to attach
her tree stand and they were zip tied to a piece of plastic and she decided to use her Schrade hunting knife(read Scalpel) to cut the zip ties, and she slipped. 1" wide and 1" deep in the meat of the heel of her hand (ouch), 2 hours later, two hydracodone, topical lidocaine, lidocaine shots, irrigations, stitches, and x-ray and we can go home. Her was pitiful, and angry...its close to the end of deer season.

Dear lord it was a long trip

343 Fratres Vigiles

2008-09-11T07:11:00.000-07:00

What were you doing 7 years ago ....
I had a rough summer, I had been
laid offand had taken a summer job
at the fire DepartmentOne of our RV's
(resident volunteers) and I were doing
grunt work and making calls. I came to
work early and was naping in the Lounge
and I heard The RV tell me we had been
attacked. Turning on the TV I watched
both towers fall and knew it would not be
long befor my son would off to war. I know
almost 3000 people died inthe attack....but
its the 343 souls that rushed into the
towers, not out that are my heroes.

Rest in Peace Brothers

So I am sitting in the Pickup at Goodwill
Last night and I witness a lady back her car
into another car then speed off and Who do you
think got the plate #, and found the little old lady
that owned the car that got hit , and then helped
her call P.D. yes it was Public savant fyremandoug.
First officer on scene was Officer Tall drink O water
Who I have known for a long time, he was in my
son’s Guard Unit. Well he says “fyreman did you
witness the incident and I said “why yes I did”
my plate # was a little off but they used a partial and
description and said does this look like the driver,
and a pic pops up on his laptop in his cruiser .
“Why yes , yes it is” says I and shazam they
have said jackrabbit, It pisses me off when someone
doesn’t do the right thing and splits a scene.
It just is not right

Little old lady said “I can’t believe someone
Would take the time to help me”

Its just the right thing to do.

Peace

My week

2008-08-27T07:23:00.000-07:00

So this week is just full, I started Sunday with the Fire Department Annual summer Picnic…And who was the Grill master, yes it was I. I marinated 16 Lbs of Costco flank steak and Grilled it, and Oh baby it was GOOOOOOD. Monday was the 4th Monday of the month so that means Safety Committee at the Fire Department, we have been naughty at the F.D. and haven’t had a safety committee for a little while, contrary to what OSHA says (read MANDITORY here) then last night we had regular drill night and we went over rope rescue which is right up my alley I have studied rope rescue since about 1985
We set up a Haul system and showed how to retrieve the victim back up the hill safely.
Tonight it will be putting some tractors away for the winter, Oh and guess what I get to do on the 12 of September go to Boise ID and get my new Engine…..I am so stoked. I have waited over a year since the fire that destroyed my Old Engine

Peace

My Wife has a Goodwill fairy that grants here all sorts of luck at our local Goodwill
She finds the most Primo stuff, I lie to you not. Stetson felt hats, Nike Outdoor jackets,
Coach Purses, Pendleton shirts, Barbour waxed hunting coat. I always ask for hoodies and she finds Uber nice Polar fleece. She found a Yves Saint Laurent designer dress once, Anyway yesterday I was sitting in a recliner at GW and she walks by in these

And they are $200.00 pair of riding boots; she has been lusting after them for a long time
And there is a pair of them at GW for $25.00 WTF, collage kids get rid of the greatest stuff.

We had the Best time last week at the coast; I am missing my baby Sis and her family
Her oldest is the tall and quiet and very responsible, her middle son is a skater with a huge sense of humor, and the youngest, Grace is a like her mother was at that age
We ate and goofed off and talked and decompressed.

GUN LEATHER, its just another part of GUN PORN

So I have been looking for a holster for my 45 acp. I cant stand plastic holsters
they bother the crap out of me. I want a Desantis holster like this.

Its like my old Tom Harris custom I had for my S&W M-29, that my son "borrowed" for his N frame.
I am a geek and I still think it would be fun to have one of these rigs for my 1911

like Rooster Cogburn said in "True Grit"
"Fill your hands, you son of a bitch"

Rural Living

2008-07-31T22:22:00.001-07:00

Living the rural life
Where to start, lets start with our house we live in a turn of the century farmhouse that is HUGE
6-maybe 7 bedrooms 2 baths, and It runs us ragged keeping up with it. The place was a Land grant to my wifes Great Great Grandpa, we have the original document signed by the Secretary of war Edwin M. Stanton for service to the Union Army. Her Family has been on the property since 1858. I have always lived Rural...I don't think I could live in a town, I enjoy the sound of the creek running through the yard and the Coyotes howling, the Great horned Owls and the short eared owls talking at night. My water comes off the hill from a spring. 88 feet of drop to the house ( anyone who can calculate the head pressure gets a Atta boy or girl) and it tastes just fine I enjoy the fact that if I chose to I can step out my front door and Pee in the grass and ....so what. If someone comes to the house I don't know I step out on the porch to greet them, usually there is a pistol in the small of my back and my hand on it, I am not paranoid, its just that Its a long roll for the Sheriff to my casa, there is a good chance that if I know you there is still a pistol on my person somewhere, and I don't care what the caliber is as long as it starts with a 4. We have 4 dogs, Thug is the biggest and most socially unacceptable, the UPS man came the other day to deliver my nieces new lariat and Thug scared him off, Molly is the Pretty one, Harley is the crafty on and Willow is the smallest. We raise hay and have horses, we garden and hunt, I have been without power to the house for 14 days(one Hell of a Ice storm in the Willamette), I just deal with it. None of this is a rant its just a fact and I would n0t change any of it anyhow.

I want you all to have a Stellar weekend I will be getting ready for my baby Sister to come down and visit and raise hell with me

2008-07-28T06:46:00.000-07:00

Ok I had a big weekend, First was riday afternoon I got off work and we went to Coastal farm store (my Niece calls it her Mall) and purchased a Frost free hydrant (Work) and fittings and stuff, then We went to the gun smith (Ya) to get my 1911, It went in to get a beavertail installed

it went from this

to this

It doesnt look like a lot but My hand loves it, no more hammer bite (No biting Hammer) and he worked on the trigger a tiny bit its a lovely thing. Ah yes Shooty goodness

then Saturday it was on to the back hoe and digging and install the frost free hydrant so I could water the horses (they like that) then beer

then Sunday I tried to go to the Dump but we found out it was closed after loading up the pickup so I plowed up a space in the garden and then rototilled it....I hurt this morning and I am Whining a little bit.

I manged to have made two firecalls also, One burn complaint and one MVA (motorcycle went down)

and made Venison tacos on sunday, MMMMMMMM, and drank beer

Peace

How thing work

2008-07-23T09:23:00.000-07:00

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation togeneration, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse,the best strategy is to dismount."
However, in Federal government, more advanced strategies are often employedin such situations, such as:

1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4. Visiting other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead, and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
And of course . . .

13. Promoting the dead horse to a management position.

So I went in last Thursday to the dermatologist and she hacked off some chunks of my forearms to send of to pathology to see what the hell they were. I have a constant farmer tan going on, my forearms are one freckled mass and Mrs fyreman keeps track of every one. Sunday I made a Roast in the Brinkman...I love this device

I can grill in it or smoke in it, I have done Thanksgiving Turkey in it,It rocks. Its a Brinkman Pitmaster So I took the roast and I dry rubbed it with Mrs. Dash, dry mustard, Ginger, Paprika, black and white pepper, salt and sugar, then let it set for a couple of hours in the fridge. I lit a fire in the side pit and added briquets, with a even bed of coals in the side pit I tossed in some chunks of Hickory I cut this spring and but the roast in for two hours, at the end of the two hour I wraped it in tinfoil and shoveled some coals directly under it and finished it off to an internal temp. of 150 deg.

WOW it was yummy.

I got an itch this weekend to make food. I was watching OPB and this cook named Rick Bayless was on. I hate him but he cooks really well, anyway he made a Avocado dip that rocked.

It started with a 1/2 lb of tomatillos, some type of fresh chillies...I used Jalapeños, garlic cloves,
an Avocado, and some cilantro. You take the husk off of the tomatillos and cut them in half,
then peal about 8-10 garlic cloves, on the chillies it all depends on how hot you want it I cored out the jalapeño and left it whole. Take the garlic and put it on a bamboo skewer and put the jalapeño
and the tomatillos in a bowl and go and fire up your grill once it hot grill the tomatillos and the chillies and the garlic until its nice and brown. take every thing off the grill and let it cool down while you cut the avocado in half and pull the seed out and scoop all the flesh into your food processor then toss in some cilantro and the stuff you grilled and buzz it all together, salt to flavor and serve with lime chips...and cerveza, it rocks

the grilling makes the whole thing!

Oh yea

Heart break

2008-07-11T09:24:00.000-07:00

If you want to know about heart break try EMS in a small town tight knit community. Our EMS in the area was a Community Ambulance service that was made up of three towns in the west end of Sanders county MT, the Ambulance was housed in the center town and every one was a home responder.
We never ran shifts, we would respond to the scene and if you started patient care it was kind of understood that you saw it out to the hospital. It worked for us? The two nearest Hospitals were 45 miles away but due to road conditions and seasonal influences (SNOW) it took an Hour to travel them even at a code three response. One summer day we get a call for a sick person (unknown Medical). It was a person Mrs. Fyreman went to school with. Lana Was Short and Bubbly You couldn’t help but laugh when you were around her. She had a miserable ex-husband who would cause her all sorts of grief. We get on scene and Lana Is grey, bad grey, and she coded right there in front of us, Now remember we are small town=only BLS, and we didn’t even have a lifepak. Anyway Mrs. Fyreman starts Compressions and someone else was bagging her. The Ambulance gets there we load her and Mrs. Fyreman did compressions all the way to the hospital…
I have never seen someone lose the skin from the palms of there hands from doing compressions….. Until that day.

There wasn’t a dry eye at Lana’s funeral, the community loved her and the tiny rural cemetery was crowded, Its hard to know your patients well, its hard to know that if you don’t do it ….Who will?

Epi I loved your Post it was really good, it made me think of this tale and this song
