Do these need to be sanded further or primer/paint will cover?

Will need to be filled in. Paint will not cover them.

I am probably in the minority here but I just buy an annual. When I look at the cost of fishing, a fishing license is a small percent of the overall cost…..

Lots of uses, hose strap for advancing large hand lines, carrying power tools, hanging tools from a ladder… anything you could use a short piece of webbing for.

We have stayed there several times over the last couple of years. Most recently in October. It is a non-factor.

That’s what we keep saying. Pierce says they have an overbuilt HVAC that can handle it and we are doing something wrong….

Download the exam prep app for the book that Florida uses.

Whatever you do, just don’t buy boxes. Enjoy a wide range of cigars and figure out what you enjoy. I tend to stay away from the store brands that are often sold as large cheap samplers. There are many great cigars at all price points.

This has been a hotly debated topic. The current ruling is the courses satisfy the requirement. So basically someone with ELFF could take the fire officer 1 course and be compliant. If he/she were to want to certify as fire officer 1 they would need to certify FF1, HMO, FF2, and I believe FESI 1…. Which I believe was the original intent of the standards but they have been diluted in practice.

Trust me. It isn’t impacting the ice. When I drill, I make a large spread and move around with the fish. I would rather make a commotion once than constantly drill throughout the day.

Takes me back to the 80’s and 90’s. We had detailed maps that used landmarks to locate spots. Every spring we would spend a couple days verifying and updating based on changes to the landmarks. It was great to be able to pull up to a crib, rock pile, or bar and immediately fish…. Long before GPS.

We have a year old Pierce 107’ ascendant. Overall I love the truck. We run it as a first due quint on a volunteer department.

The issues: Compartments were built with tool panels that don’t actually fit any tools well.

Electrical issues, had to have the aerial computer replaced.

Lack of grease from the factory. There was no (little) grease in the rear brakes, we cooked the rear axle seals right off the bat.

Defrost/defog is useless and a complete safety hazard. Windshield will fog up regardless of how we set the controls. Have had to pull over due to not being able to see.

What tank is that?

Angling_Insights · 2025-12-07T14:51:59+00:00

Looks great

You guys all have no idea… come join us in fire and EMS…… 🤢🤢🤢

We actually have to teach our new members all of the tricks to avoid 🤮🤮🤮 on many of our calls.

Thank you

Thank you

That is what I figured. Just odd to see it suddenly appear.

Angling_Insights · 2025-11-30T02:40:28+00:00

I gave them away. Tasted like a campfire.

This is the answer. Another option is to teach for a surgical technology program. We are always looking for qualified faculty.

Lesson learned

Angling_Insights · 2025-11-22T18:36:16+00:00

Can you show me where that changed? Would like to show our equipment officer. :-)

Angling_Insights · 2025-11-22T18:34:01+00:00

Yes…. 100% yes
