I am considering naked for this week, too. Gotta love the 60s and 70s with virtually no rain this week. :yup:
Agreed. I will say, the 50 degree drive at 60 mph this morning sucked, but worth it when the days are this good.
There have been a couple times where I would work a night shift at the fire station and I didn't have the doors on because the daytime was warm. Well, come 5am when I would leave 50 degrees didn't seem too bad...until I was driving down the highway. I expect to be cold doing that so it wasn't a surprise per se but always a little shock at first. :shock:
This is why god created jackets and beanies boys!!!!!:thumb::beer:

...I had both on!! :crazyeyes:
Come on now...I live in Houston. We have like 4 actual cold days each "winter" and the rest of "winter" temps are in the 50s! Anything below 60 and I am cold! :yup:
Working tonight! R2 stays inside when doorless. Driving the beauty in the background...my favorite to drive.![]()
105'? So sweet!! Ours is in the shop right now for some electrical issues.
110 actually
Oh nice! You won't see me climbing that thing..............
I would rather drive and pump than climb it (straight up) but I have and will if I have to. At my other dept we had a 95 foot stick and that thing I didn't enjoy the climb because it had no bucket. I am curious to see what the next aerial will be...slated for 2018. Pumpers are 10 months young. :rock:
Ours has no bucket as well on a 105'. It never gets used though as we only respond to wrecks and full Fire alarms with it.
We call it the Parade truck. LOL
We are in the process to changing our engines over to Pierce. We've just taken delievery of a new Pierce Custom Pumper.
Haha yea. It doesn't see much fire but it is on a lot of mutal aid so it gets called a lot. All of our pumpers, rescues and the tower are Pierce. Boosters and rehab are Ford. We just got the Pierce Velocity PUC. I don't much care for side-mount pump panel. I prefer mid mount but with this design also has a ton of interior space. You can fit a queen size bed in there I think. Nice trucks but I am a little old school which is probably why I love driving the Tower. Just a beast of a truck! Love it. :yup:
