Thanks, K. Can't wait to get home and check it out. Maybe I'll do it at bedtime and then do NOTHING but thank my lucky stars for my comfy accommodations. So glad you're back but probably not as happy as you and the Mrs. Enjoy your evening.

I am not in this thread much, but today I am eavesdropping. I just figured out that you are a wildfire fighter. I watched your YouTube links.

I have nothing to say — except Thank You! .

Here are some pictures from my tent. NOTHING but beautiful.. Nice to come "home" to after a day on the line..

NOTHING but a huge contrast from the ugliness of the fire zone. Hard to believe they are so close together.

These are great videos. I learned quite a bit. I'm glad you have a paper map and something more techy. Nothing worse then when the techy stuff stops working. I suppose there are a lot of things that are worse but I needed to slip in the word nothing.

A rarity I'm NOTHING but almost speechless. You have the most challenging job I've ever heard of. I would last about 10 minutes with all the smoke, you all, firefighters are unbelievable. A whole lot of similarities to a soldier. Even the family contributes to the cause. Can't be easy. Hats off to all!

Yeah, even 20 miles away you can see how smoked in the camp is.

They give us QR codes to scan the maps into our phones. I don't even bother. Nothing better than having a stack of 11"x17" paper maps that you can lay out on the hood of your truck and write notes on..

I don't know who kills more trees, the Forest Service or the fire. Everyday they print up the Incident Action Plan which is usually in the 30 page range. Then the stack of maps which can often be 20 or more pages.

It's not really that bad unless you get an out of control supervisor who wants to save the world. Most of the time we work with a really great bunch of guys. It makes the day go by faster and we actually get more done and everyone gets home in one piece.

I'll admit though, 31 days on the same fire was a bit too long. lol The Warden says I'm done for the year. We'll see..

I have NOTHING but a little bad news. On MSN there is a story about Mary Ann. She's in trouble and it isn't the baby we were kidding around about. Check it out its for real I'm sorry to say.

I couldn't be happier to hear that but you forgot your NOTHING. I'm glad I woke up just In time to find this. NOTHING like Kadar kicking in on the wrong person - lol

One of these days I'm going to sleep in like a normal person especially now that I'm off of "worry duty". In the meantime, today is Thursday, September 6th, and I have more appointments than I can shake a stick at.

K, the only thing I have to say to you is that you can't afford to be missing your NOTHING. You have a serious deficit at this point. Please pull yourself together and get your NOTHING act in gear.

See you all later.......

Nice to see you here, Boomer. You will find that even NOTHING can sometimes be involved in important issues. We're very proud of our Kommander and have some wonderful regulars on this thread. Feel free to drop in whenever and as often as you would like.

OMG the woman had millions and now she has NOTHING. She must have had the worlds worst financial adviser.

NOTHING but TINKLE DOWN ECONOMICS, ala tomwed camping history!

The thing that sends me into orbit is the dealer fee! That's something I would collect not pay, Capishe?

Not for NOTHING but if this is the last car you plan on buying and what you really want is a Mini Cooper then that is what you should buy. My neighbor just negotiated a price for a car from a dealership in Tampa (not a Mini) and they are going to deliver it. Then you could join the Mini club and have a blast.
