First Day of the Cycle and I'm OFF!

It’s C – Shift’s first day back off break and what a nice day it’s going to be. Today is officially the first day of Spring starting at 1332 hours. I’m off work but the rest of the guys will pull through it I’m sure. Heck, they will probally pull through the tour easier without me there. Talk about a well oiled machine when I’m gone. This is going to be a short post today. I just can’t sit here long with this nice weather (clear blue skies with temps in the mid 70’s) outside the window. Today is going to be a busy but enjoyable day. Today is Media Day for the Roanoke Rampage. I have not received confirmation yet whether ESPN will be there or not. But with March Madness going on in the world of Basketball I doubt it.

Media Day starts at 9 am with a team meeting first thing, game uniforms are being handed out next, followed by media interviews, and then a practice/scrimmage to finish up. Media time is from 10 – 1045 am. After that, it’s time for me to head to the big house…

Uggh….No, not jail

No, not lunch with the President either. I’m headed to Big House in Highland County. This weekend is the Maple festival. I mentioned it previously on this post. The Highland County Maple Festival in Monterey, Va. is a excellent thing to visit/attend if you ever get a chance. I highly recommend it. Any way it’s time for me to get my rear end outside and celebrate the First day of Spring. Only way it could get any better is if I could take my crew with me. I would like to say thanks to my Battalion Chief for allowing me to have the day off by the way. I hope everyone has a great day whatever you may be doing. Be safe out there and I will be back Monday!
