No its around 85 miles each way...but yes I'm not walking any extra then i have to...if i were cutting i dont think i could make it with this little sleep i get so I'm glad ic an afford to put some fat on right now.

All in all it sucks but I need to work and I need to get health insurance and with todays economy I'm afraid of leaving a stable job risking losing everything.

I put in 93 hours this week its horrible!!! Def no gym for me...no sleep either. This week I have only gotten 11 hours of sleep total from sunday till thus far saturday afternoon.

ho-lee-crap, bolt!
I hope you are taking a train for that distance? Driving every day w/ that traffic can't be healthy...can u car-pool or something? Don't want you falling asleep at the wheel....seriously, bro...let's not try out those health bennies.....

No I drive myself...no car pooling for me, no trains or public transportation anywhere around at the hours i travel. i am on call 24/7

that sucks. Good luck, bro- hope there's light at the end of that tunnel.
....if it makes you feel any better, its a 4 minute mosey from my room to my office...2 if I'm motivated...

ya think? You did a LOT of work in there, bolt-
No wonder you were gassed at the end.
Nice rows right after deads. My lower back wasn't happy w/ me when I did that the other day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Man, your crazy my Friend, Lookin good in here, Happy THanksgiving!!!

Thanks boys...hope everyones holidays were great!

Ive been working non stop this week and im not sleeping but atleast i got my workouts in lol.

You be careful, Bolt-
When your body crashes...its gonna crash hard....you get some sleep in there.

when i can i do...my body sorta gets use to living on little sleep and every few weeks i have to recharge and just sleep normal!

I used to be that same way, but didn't spend as much time on the road as you. I've lost co-workers from burning both ends, brotha- hence my concern.

i know your just lookin out for me...someone has to LOL.

This week officially sucked! in 5 days i have only slept 6 hours!! Hopefully I get some decent rest tonight!

Side note though I am feeling mighty gat and cant wait to start cutting...i miss my vascularity and striations!

Get some rest, Bolt. It will do you wonders. (Easier said than done, I know.)

I've got a nephew who is thinking of becoming a firefighter. (And one who wants to be a cop, I think so they can fight each other at the big "guns and hoses" boxing match they do in STL each year.) Any tips for him?

Question why you want to do it...they will both push you to the limit! They are two of the best jobs in the world but not made for everyone. takes a certain type of person to do it.

What area are they looking into doing these? Get me some general info and i can look into it but train hard for it, study every minute you can, and tighten your balls down b/c its gonna be one hell of a ride!

The perspective officer is looking at law school, but wants to take a break between. He thinks the street experience will be more valuable than working as a paralegal.

The other...well...no idea. He's been struggling to find his identity, and I think it's a reach, honestly. Great kid, always been in good shape, but this is out of the blue. I'm thinking the EMT classes will likely scare him away. (Though I hope not.)

Is your hunting season over?

not all fire are directly related to fire in many staes...id check the standards. i know in NJ some towns who are paid run both EMS and Fire but others are strictly fire with EMS being a different division. he may not have to do EMS.

as for the perspective...i know of one cop who is doing the same. he became a cop and is finishing all his school working 3rd shift. its a great background to have and i would recommend it!
