Say No To Grassfires
07 03 2008
Since 9:00 pm yesterday I have been listening to my Fire Department pager and hoping that there are no grass fires before Friday. Is it because I am such a humanitarian? Nope, It is because I spend 2 hours last night cleaning up our brush-pumber.
You see, tomorrow is the 4th of July parade in Edmond, and we are taking an Engine and a Brushtruck to show off. So we spend all of yesterday evening washing trucks. We put 3 coats of super-paint cleaner and wax on the truck to make it shine real nice. And now I have to cross my fingers and hope that we don't get any fires between now and the parade. It's not that bad for the guys who cleaned the Engine, if we get a structure fire they stay on paved roads and keep the truck away from the fire. But the brushtruck drives through the mud and the fire, breaks through brush and over cedars, it gets nice and dirty. So I am really really hoping that nothing will happen to my nice clean truck. I woke up Mrs. D-USA at 3:00 am this morning by screaming "Nooooo, don't call us for help!!!!" when the Fire Department next to us had a grass fire, and thankfuly they were able to take care of things.
So if all goes well you guys can come to the LibertyFest parade in Edmond tomorrow and watch us wave to our adoring public in our nice clean trucks...
