Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we did some camping out on a lake here in town. We paddled out to an island and killed some beers and had a camp fire. Saturday morning it rained but we were so glad just to be out of the fire house that we really didn't care.

Sunday night a bunch of us drove down to Resurrection Bay and the town of Seward. It was really cool. It's amazing how fast a 5 hour drive goes when the scenery is so amazing.

Everything is going really well here. It is extremely frustrating at points because the borough is dragging their feet on a lot of the resources that we are asking for in order to get started on our projects. We've been here fore 3 weeks and still can not log into the computers. The ball is starting to roll a little faster but I still feel like shit sitting around the fire house with the EMT's and Firefighters that are making less than half of what we are and they are doing 4x the work. I am back in physical therapy and the Dr. here seems to think that I will be able to get off light duty by the end of June. That is another extremely frustrating part of this job, I can't stand having to sit and watch the firetrucks pull out without me on them. Now that I am starting to get to know the Medics and Chiefs better I have been bumming a ride off them but still its not the same.

Im going to try and get better at posting again. Its been a little rough because by time I work a 8 hour day and do 4 hours of training and run a few calls its already after midnight. I'll see what I can do.
