Colorado Krew Hangout

@hosejockey61

just got a phone call to support the annual Firefighters something or other. i don’t trust anything that comes via my phone or email.

do you guys have a support fund i can donate too. my father was a retired Fireman. he became one when he burned his fathers workshop down by accident in cooperstown (1974).

i joined the local VFD in Aug and joined the military a month later. so did a bunch of new guy training and that was it.

I wouldn't donate to cold calls personally. If you're in a rural area, sometimes they might call to support the local volunteers. The quickest way to verify is call your local department directly and ask.

that’s what i told them. not to mention i have a 907 area code.

only answered the phone because I’m expecting a phone call from a plumber with the same 303 area code.
 
it’s probably a case like my truck. doesn’t seem like 2008 is almost 20 years old. it was like just a couple years ago

The first time I "felt old" was when I told my son about the time I was fishing and caught a fishing pole. He asked why I didn't keep the pole as he could use it... I had to explain to him that was over 20 years ago (he was 9ish at the time of this conversation last year).

I feel old when the staff at the office tell me they don’t know who Phill Collins is. Or Sting.
 
Anyone have plans to get out before Sand Hollow? Really would like to get some things dialed on my rig before hand. Mainly adjusting the ORI’s.


Looking at maybe doing something next Tuesday/Wednesday near BV.

I’m going to try to hit up Iron Clads on the 25 or 26 for a short shake down run. I can’t do during the week and would rather stay a little closer to the North Front Range than BV, but we’re definitely on opposite ends, I’m up by FC.

Wish it did. Was just about to reply that I could, haha.

My wife *kindly* reminded me that the kids aren’t in school this week, and I’m on birthday party duty for our oldest. It’s been on the calendar in our kitchen for months…
