I have some really good news to pass along on a local level. Those of you who have followed me for a while  (yea…both of ya)  will know the boys I’m talking about… for all others, I’ll explain in a moment.   That was my little “happy dance” LOL.  Coon and Opie have been with me since our days as “Melrose ...

We had a good night .. I practiced what I preach for once. We stayed warm, dry, safe and in house.  Today, I haven’t been so lucky. The Buckaroo and I headed out early to check,  feed and water the cows and horses. It’s been blowing snow, cold and everything is frozen. Just like at the station, snow on the farm makes ...

I know it’s nothing compared to Buffalo or anywhere North of here but, this mornings commute to the station was through 5 inches of ice covered snow. I have to leave early enough to check the cows before heading into the city and that was a real chore this morning. The good news is that after I got out to ...

The Buckaroo took the day off despite spending several days last week brushing up on loader operations … I missed the little fella ...

A few posts back, I announced Iron Firemen’s 1st official give away. I talked about wanting a new tattoo for Christmas and my inability to decide what to get (keeping in mind that fact that I don’t have a lot of spaces on my body large enough for a tattoo). I asked to see your firefighter tat’s and offered up ...

I got the video below from over at Fire Critic. I’m so mad I am almost speechless!  First, I’ll show ya a video of John McCain talking about the “tax bill”. All this crap “ear marked”  onto the tax bill and it passed.. yet the  James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act  was defeated! WTF !!  Everyone was wondering back in ...
