You know you’re getting old when the new coffee pot excites you cause it leaves more counter space.

Little snack attack with some bannock. Not everyday you find a place with fried bannock on the menu as an appetizer. But if you do, you gotta order it. Served with a side of blueberry jam mmm good stuff.

Stretch it out! I don’t know how many times I go workout and kinda half do the stretching, if at all. Definitely an aspect I’m working on because when I actually do the post workout stretches, I feel much better for it.

It felt pretty cool connecting with the rest of the world jumping on Live last night while the US went dark. Got to connect with so many different countries… even though I had to keep telling people I was in Canada lol.

Today was one of those days where I did less than I wanted to, but ended up doing more than I thought I would…. Let me explain.
It was a busy day where everything kept getting slightly pushed back. Me and the kids had plans to come play badminton and then while they checked out the library I was going to get my leg day in… well needless to say we basically just had enough time to get some badminton in before we had to leave and I had to attend fire practice. Now my thought was, I’ll go to the gym after fire practice. Now right at the very end of practice I had the thought of “well, I can workout tomorrow”. So I almost drove home instead, but at the very last minute I drove straight instead of turning right. I didn’t listen to that voice of procrastination and got my butt here. Now was it the best workout I’ve ever had, nope. But did I push myself to get something done when I almost felt like I wasn’t going to at all, absolutely.
I know that was a rant but bottom line, keep yourself accountable! Stick to your plan the best you can and sometimes you just gotta let muscle memory do its thing.

Tonight was a night off, but I just wanted to say it feels great to be getting back in a routine. Now I just need to come up with a better workout plan and I’ll be set 😁😁.

Nothing like a little water turret action to start off the day. Pros: no hose to pack up, clean and re-bed and very quick to get water flowing. Cons: you are limited to spraying the side that is road facing. Still perfect for nuisance fires and small grass fires in a ditch.

Today was leg day… and let me tell you, after not doing a dedicated leg day in probably 3-4 years I’m gonna feel this tomorrow (legs already feel like wet spaghetti 😆). I didn’t go in with a solid plan of which specific exercises I was going to do, I just knew I was focusing on the lower half of my body.

Often times when we want to start something new we get paralyzed by the details. I am absolutely guilty of this. We spend so much time trying to plan to get it right, that we never get started in the first place. So today was all about getting out there and just doing it, I can fine tune the details as I go along, and so can you.

PSA: Keep those drones grounded and please stay out of the way of working emergency crews. Your videos are not a priority when there is critical/dangerous work being done.

Gave the pike pole a little upgrade. Nothing worse than icy gloves and an icy pole making for a slippery combination. Added some extra grip so now we can not only poke but pull down sheet metal, siding and tin. It’s all about those small improvements, identifying problems and coming up with solutions.

A couple more calls responded to today. Lucky nothing serious but felt good to get out on the truck. The biggest thing with this job is you never know when that radio is going to go off, but it’s about being ready to go at a moments notice. It may be just a false alarm… or it could be something major, we never know so that’s why we treat them all the same.

Pretty much sums up today’s speech.

Whenever that call comes in, we’re there to answer that call and do what we can. Even though we don’t always achieve the optimal results, the main thing is no one gets hurt. Stuff can be replaced, people cannot.
