I know it is only Tuesday but the extended forecast looks good for Saturday, we will make sure we take plenty of pictures to share of the trip home.

All the paperwork is completed and her journey back to Wassaic will be this weekend, weather permitting.

Further more those unions that have been able to agree with the state in good faith on a contract last year now Patterson is trying to take the deals back. I know as we all do that these are tough and we all know that we need to cut back, this man stands ZERO chance at re-election. How does he think we can pay for college for our kids, we have a visit to Manhattanville college tomorrow with my son. How do you tell your kids I can't afford to send you to school? We encourage them throughout their school days and then say Sorry either you go into debt for the rest of your life to pay for school or get a job at Mickie D's making $6. an hour and throw your dreams and goals in the dumpster when you take out the garbage at night. Poor kids today are screwed even before they start. This whole thing is just a frggin head shaker!!!! Enough of my rantings, sorry guys.

I'm not sure how acurate this is but I heard there are like an estimated 8 million $$$ worth of painting and art in the state buildings, sell the damn things to raise some $$$$$.

Here is the link outlining the reduction in workforce. http://publications.budget.state.ny.us/eBu...eWorkforce.html It's just amazing to look at Patterson's proposals. So he wants to not give me a raise at least until MAYBE 2012 so that makes it 6 years without a COLA and then he wants to take 5 days pay away from me too, I guess he believes that I should be happy that I have a job.

http://publications.budget.state.ny.us/eBu...tiveBudget.html Having Code Enforecement certification as part of my job with NYS, we have already been advised that we may not be offered the required 24 hours of inservice training by NYS and that we may have to seek it through the private sector. NYS Codes has lost a few instructors and may be down to 5 or 6 by 1/09 and they may be teaching the basic training only. The outlook clearly is bleak for NYS. Being a state employee and a union shop stewart it will be interesting to see what transpires. We have been without a contract for almost three years, without raises and any cost of living adjustments and the cost of EVERYTHING rising you just wonder how to hell people can just afford to live.

Sharp ride, very nice

Yes, thank you all the staff members and thanks for keeping the site professional and informational at the same time.

Is there anyone here that can help me add a pdf file (membership application) to our website so when viewing the site a prospective member can click on a link and the application displays (with acrobat) on their computer and they can print it out. I have tried a few things but I can't seem to get it to work. Thanking you in advance, Mark

THANK YOU, this worked perfectly, loads and prints fine.

OK Chris, several members will be up, I will make sure I bring both cameras.

I took these with a Minolta X-7a which I still have.

I found some more pictures of this fire in my old albums and will add them.

ok I will try that later, thanks hopefully it works

Does it load in adobe and can you print it??

Try going to the bottom of our website home page and click on the link and see what happens

when i try to save it exactly how you have it Nate for some reason word won't accept it, i am ready to throw in the towel, is there a way I can send it to you in an email to see if it opens correctly????

I have the application already in a PDF file format, how to I load it the webserver and get a link for it?????? I am in adobe and it is asking me if i want to copy the ulr when do that it sends it to a clipboard, where do I find this clipboard? the only one I see is back in Word, sorry I am not to great with this kinda stuff

Don, the one Monty sent is the one I received also

Same here with the 2 sets of tones, we used those for years, but obviously with the tones being simo'd off all the towers at once there is no need to have two tones (two different towers) any longer. It is an adjustment for all.

Yes it will be a nice addition not only to Amenia but for the surrounding M/A depts as well.

I took a few pictures this afternoon but I told Chief Howard that I would take some shots of the rig after they get a chance to clean her up, it made a long trip to their station and it had alot of road film and salt on it, but here are a few of them using the CAFS system through a portable monitor. The Engine has a 1500 pump, 1000 booster tank and will carry 1000' of 5" as well.

Congrats to the 2009 Croton officer elects
