Engineer Testing Done

July 20th, 2006

I had my final drive with Heston today. We drove about ten blocks. He then had me go to the tower. He said I drive a little fast and that I need to slow down with it, but other than that he was good with my ability to handle the engine.

We went to the tower and pumped water for about an hour and a half. I took a hydrant. I flowed water and simulated the foam. I set up the relief valve and calculated friction loss and the whole works. I passed the test so now I am an engineer.

I went to Moscow for the All-Star softball game. While I was there I went to KFC for some dinner. I got a call from Dearth. He said that I need to wipe down the engine after fueling it up so the diesel does not collect dust. I told him I had not filled it. He said that he had accidentally sent an e-mail out about that to the department. I was livid. He assumed it was me and then the department gets an e-mail saying it was me.

For all the times he shift leaves rescue dirty and low on fuel for him to make an issue out of something that I did not do made me very angry. I called Chuck and discussed it with him. He said he would talk to James about it.

I watched the All-Star game. The guy from the Palouse Tavern team, the ten-six-seven, was there. He totally reminds me of Brandon. It is amazing to see him and just think I am looking at Brandon.
