    metaldad update

    Hey gang! I know I haven't been around here much as of late . Been on fb way more I know. Well in not so many words, I won the lottery! Actually I got accepted at the Chicago Fire Academy. I'm going through EMT training for 3 months then firefighter training. It's DAMN tough! It's like boot camp that let's you go home every night. But don't call it boot camp lol! Gotta hit the books and build my endurance! I'm Three weeks in so far . Tough but I can do it. Gotta give the bag a rest temporarily and looks like I'm missing yet another gathering. But this time next year, I'll have the greatest schedule on Earth working the greatest job on Earth! So maybe there's hope for me yet lol!

              MD, great news! Tough it out, Patrick, it will be well worth it. The bag and the gathering can be put on hold. This is way more important. All your speed bagging friends are pulling for you. Good luck, my friend.

                  Congratulations, MD!

                  This is fantastic news about your acceptance into the Chicago Fire Academy! I've heard that the training can be grueling, but it will all be worth it in the end. Congratulations, Patrick!

                    Way to Go Md

                    Congrats on your new Profession Md. You'll have to figure out how to install a Speed Bag Platform in the Fire House Based on the Fireman Jokes I've heard over the years you should have some spare time for punch drumming. Just Kidding. One of the most Honorable professions!

                    Here's a little Fireman Humor for you:

                    Q. A fireman had two sons. What did he name them?
                    A. Hosea and Hoseb

                    Q. Why doesn't a fire chief look out the window in the morning???
                    A. Because then he wouldn't have anything to do in the afternoon.

                    Dog Duty
                    A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children began discussing the dog's duties.
                    "They use him to keep crowds back, "said one youngster.
                    "No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
                    A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."

                      That is good news MD. Glad for you.
                      You have to love what your doing and it sounds like you really like it. Can't beat that in a career.

                      Now enjoy the academy while you are there. I'm sure you will do good.
