    Pinal County Arizona, between Phoenix and Tucson.

    That is, at least until I retire in 3-5 years, then it will be the mountains of North-Central Arizona.

    Open and eager to any reasonable possibility of meeting any of you, as the wheels of chance turn.

    Jp,

    I was out at the Emergency Response Training Center for a Haz-Mat response class. Here's our class pic:

    2nd row (1st standing row), I'm the 6th one from the right (your right). I was out there with 2 of my cohorts from Winston-Salem FD.

    AH the smokehouse.

    I remember doing some of my "24 hour training" in one of those.

    I also remember doing by first responder coarse and cutting the shirt off a hot "instructer" during practicals.

    I have given some thought to resigning as No.1 in favor of a more..shall we say..winning personality ? In order to alleviate the angst of some with me personally.

    Put that thought from your mind. We do NOT need winning personalities - we're not running for office, or miss congeniality - what we need are people who will not sugar coat or dumb down the message. Sometimes people need a good swift kick in the rear to shake loose the cobwebs, it "separates the wheat from the chaff" as it were and can stiffen the resolve of those who's minds are not permanently closed to the issues at hand.

    Excellent pic firedude, thanks. [8D]

    HB, no, you can't resign. I don't think these particular folks would have issue with you in any way, but, as you wish. I will do it.
    Anyway, as I was away for few months and returned after this was already begun, is why I felt a little "outside", if you know what I mean. Thanks for the very kind words. While this entire group is the cream of the crop, you and Mr. McManus are indeed something special, to me.[^]

    Loko383 will be sworn in tonight around 10 P.M....unless a direct order to cease and desist is given by a standing member.

    Were he willing to consider it; CodenamePaul would be an excellent addition to the Order.

    He posts little..he has said much in person. A good man.
    I realize that there is little to go on but my word..for most of his posting is years old.


    I would be honored to keep the company of such men as yourselves. And while my posts have dwindled much as of late, I am here-be assured. I am always lurking. Much to be introspective about these days.....

    A suggestion would be for all canaries to qualify as riflemen in the next available appleseed in your area. Go to

    appleseedinfo.org

    to find out more. You may find (as I) that 1) you ain't as good as you may think you are 2) a whole ton of suprisingly like minded folks.

    It is my intention to attend an instructors boot camp next summer, God willing.

    I appreaciate the words of confidence but, as I told jpwolf, I'm not sure that I quite "fit in" with the group that is being assembled.

    I consider myself to be a "canary" on a couple issues not involving gun control.....positions that have placed me on the opposite side of the debate, appearently siding with "collectivists".


    By the way, I welcome any imput the other Canary Asses have on the matter, positive or not.

    Yes,......I deleted it!
    I took that from a post on GD about the CA group.

    I will now leave it off, and attempt to regain a measure of respect.
    We don't have gold finches around here,......what can I tell you?[8D]
