rappelling

Jeff has spent the last 6 weeks going thru fightfighter academy. It's just half done now, he will be done just as the kids get out for the summer.

He's been learning alot. All this week was ropes, knots, and rappelling.
His instructors let me come down one day and take pictures of all the guys scaling the 5 story training tower that's recently been built. It's set up for several different scenerios that they may face.

Jeff, how does it feel to take the difficult way down a perfectly good building?



It's Spiderman! Drew came with me (of course) and he thought all the guys were Spiderman!
Look Ma, no hands!!! This was part of what they had to do. Tie a knot then hang upside down. This was later used in another scenario to rescue someone out of a window.


I'm sure nothing compared to having both feet on the ground!!

Happy Easter to all the Essarys!

Buck: We got just under .5 of rain. Didn't get anything on Sunday, but looked like someone in the county was getting some. Hope we get more (alot more. A frickin' flood would be nice about now).
