Thats insane. Bunker gear in the summer is bad enough, but excercising in it. Add an extra 80 lbs and running on a treadmill would be hard on joints. To be young again...

We used to stand a three section extension ladder up with ropes tied to the top section to stabilize it. We then climbed up one side, over the top, and down the other side with full turnout gear and a scott pack on. That **** would never fly today!

Morning Stan, Lou and Tim and anybody else I might have missed.

There is a news story this morning about an 87 year old man driving the wrong way on the highway at 3 am and was hit and killed by a semi. They have given no name of the driver as of yet. Makes me wonder but I have no idea why he would be out at 3 am?
