    In 130 hours it comes to an end

    It’s hard to believe that what started in October 1976 will be coming to an end at the end of this month. Very mixed emotions right now but it’s time top pass it on to the next generation. 13 more 10 hour days is all that are left.:depressed:

    When it rains it pours

    Aug 30 at 2041 the pagers go off. Much better now than a year ago because now our private and work cell phones go off as well sounding like a third grade rock band. We have another reported intoxicated male exiting a boat somewhere in the center section of the lake not being able to pass...
