Slim Fatboy

A nice country drive led me here. It's like the mecca for bikers. It was pretty interesting. There was a hell of a lot of leather in there...

PSU PD: New K9 acquired. Name = Chaos

I'm not sure if his name is Chaos Reigns or Chaos Rains. But nonetheless he's pretty badass. No K9 can replace Titus, but Chaos will be a great addition. He's a 1 1/2 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Training starts for him and our handler in May at the PA State Police Academy. After 12 weeks at the academy, Chaos and the handler will return to work. Chaos... what a sweet name for an explosives detection dog...

Paid firefighter

A good show. I was on standby with 2022.

The Last Breakfast

Oh 430am McDonalds trip...

Ambulance 26 in place of 20 25 and 8...

2650 on campus

General Order

We're big boys and girls now. MM became the first to carry the AR15. Sweet.

I work too much

Lets recap the work weekend. Friday night I worked 6PM - 4AM at PSU PD. Then I went to Pleasant Gap from 6AM - 4PM. Then straight back to PSU PD from 6PM - 4AM. Then back to Pleasant Gap today from 6AM - 10PM... holy crap... 52 straight hours of work.

But it's all gonna pay off in the end...

Four-day weekend

Four-day weekends are pretty freakin' sweet. Friday night I drove to Philly with Kat-5. Her parents made me dinner, which was so good. Her parents are a riot. I didn't get to meet any of the little hurricanes though. Maybe next time. Then I went to see Kate. That was pretty fun, I learned how to use some balance board thingy. It has a name, but I don't know what it is.

I slept till 9 on Saturday morning. I went to Target Master early to pick up my .38 special after it had the firing pin replaced for free (sweet). I've missed this gun. I then immediately went to the Flyers game with Danielle, Larry, and Saxon (see previous post). They lost, but oh well.

I then drove straight to Pittsburgh. Dana is a great road companion. Made the trip in 5 hours, including 3 stops - my bladder must be damn small.

Saturday night in Pittsburgh was very cool. I hung out with Steve and Paul, drinking a variety of Saranac beers and watching Entourage.

I slept till Noon on Sunday, had an awesome Easter lunch with my family at my brother's house. Sunday evening I had dinner with Laura and got to see her family. It was so nice to see them all. Dinner with Laura was great. I hung out with her for a while as she studied for some paramedic final exam. It was great catching up, and seeing her doing so well was what I needed to see.

Today's been lazy. I slept till 1 PM. Then I watched The Deadliest Catch with my sister-in-law until about 3:30. Then I went to Dick's Sports and purchased some clothing I probably can't afford. Oops, that's what credit cards are for.

Now I'm watching a movie with my brother, waiting to leave for Youngstown, OH to pick up Cait. Then we're driving back to State College... hopefully in time for last call at a bar (wherever Larry winds up).

I have court tomorrow at 1:30 and 3:30. But I don't work until 6:00 PM.

Here's the kicker - in 2 weeks, I get another 4-day weekend. I love my job

All for now

QT with Dana

i love the open road. Tunes in the air and thoughts of family and good friends ahead. Can't wait to see Cait!

Another Flyers Game!

always a good time. Flyers lost to Islanders 4-2... oh well. Gagne got his 200th career goal. Fun with Tholey, Larry and Saxon. Well worth it.
