BKoe’s Graduation

I went to Burien today to watch Brandon graduate from the police academy. It started with the final inspection. That gave us photo ops with the guys. Then we had a presentation mainly for family of cops. It talks about how to deal with the stresses of the job and how there will be some changes, but how to keep things as normal as possible.

Later was the actual graduation. Each officer was called up for a chance to be recognized by their chief or sheriff and then they had their badge pinned by a person of their choice.

When the was done we went to the lunch room and spent time talking with Brandon and congratulating him.

When that was done I stopped by the Renton Dodge dealer. I was in negotiations for a Chrysler Aspen for several hours. But when it was done I was not able to get the deal made. But that is good. I am not sure now is the time to buy a new car. I am getting closer to having mine paid off, and with the short term uncertain future of my jobs I figured it would be good to not spent much money right now.
