Every day my friend!

You sure about that? LOL, wait until fall.... This is the exact spot you're parked in, long before all the camps started when we were doing the front end layout and environmental work for the project. Was living on a boat that week.

These Fire Boss water bombers came from Lac Labiche, AB to fight a big fire near Chapleau, ON a couple of weeks ago. I was without hydro for 4 days because of that blaze. :x

The five blade mixmasters on the business end were impressive.

Hey Chicken Hawk.. Is that LCW? Looks like a lake I used to fly into a few (ok maybe more than a few) years ago.. Course back then LCW was yellow and had a round engine on it!!!

Spinner, that pic way back there on page 20 something looks like Porkies place in Pickle to me. Just in case nobody got around to guessing in the next 40 pages or so....

Wow, that's a perfect photo. Reminds me of seeing the black F-14 for the first time.

One year ago today we lost Craig. Miss you every day, rest in piece my friend. Driveway fires just aren't the same without Craiger.
