    I don’t really recall knowing her that well. She was at the farm I rode at. That’s about all I remember of her.

    Have you ever pulled a horse trailer with your Tacoma?

    Sorry to hear that...

    I lost my Labrador, Molly, almost 9 years ago. The Tacoma came into my life less than three months before she died...

    She was 15!

    @TinyTech626

    In 2014, I almost joined Doylestown Fire Company, but I was still in college at the time. One of my long-distance TW buddies (@Iamraiderpower ) is also a firefighter and thinks I should pursue it again. Becoming a volunteer firefighter is something I've thought about a lot lately.

    How old is the oldest person you've seen become a firefighter?

    Some people I know join up with the volunteer departments before they're even old enough to drive!

    And I'm only 28...

    Though I'm gonna lie...

    About 7 years ago I took a "responding to emergencies" class in college. I got a B in the actual class but was unable to complete the CPR training. I forgot one of the steps or something...

    Fire departments in my area are so desperate for volunteers that they pay for training! I'd be afraid of fucking up on CPR training, though...

    My dad strongly considered becoming a Pennsylvania State Trooper when he retired from the Navy...

    Problem is he was 47 when he retired and the age limit to become a trooper was like 40 or 45...

    When you say "non civil service regulations," does that mean no age limit?

    I can't sleep and I'm reading an article in TIME magazine about heroin addiction right now...

    I wish more kids were like you...

    You stay away from hard drugs and instead take the time to learn a trade, and spend your free time wrenching on your truck.

    Yeah, that's what my friend Dave drives. It's the second one he's owned. The 2001 was totaled by a drunk driver in 2012, and now he has a 2005.

    You're provin' my point...

    Working on that Taco of yours is a healthier choice even than using social media!

    Does your truck have a locking rear?

    Maybe you should do a locking rear as an upgrade in the future...

    We don’t actually pay for the training. None of the departments in Bucks county pay for any training through the fire school.
