More Recess!

Today we went to Jefferson Elementary for EMS week. Today my role was to be outside and teach the kids about the ambulance. I walked them around it and showed them the compartments and some of the tools like the glassmaster and the “keys to the city” aka bolt-cutters. We started to run out of time so by the time I got to the last group we were really running them through and did not get a good chance to really show them as much as I would have liked.

For lunch today we had nachos. Then we went out to the playground. We played kick-ball. That was a lot of fun. I really was beating those first-graders pretty easily! Actually I did go easy on them, but I did not give them free outs.

When we were clear of the school I made my way back to the office. We had a teleconference with a guy from Sollen about some login issues we have been having. After talking to him and working with an E-mail Miki sent us we think we have it figured out.

Our softball game was cancelled today so I went to Colfax for fire training. We did extrication training. I was more or less a helper. Several of the people had not done it before so my role was to teach people and make sure they were being safe. The training went well. I did some hands-on stuff with people teaching them about the glassmaster and some other tools.

After training Jim, Tim, and I played poker for about an hour and a half. I got home around midnight and it was pretty warm in my house. I opened the window in my bedroom and let it cool down a little bit before I went to sleep.
