Made it back to Arizona after an uneventful fire assignment and a frustrating travel back. We only had 2 fires the entire time we were out there for about 4 hours of actual fire fighting, if that. Thus the rest of the time was sitting at the station followed by going back to the hotel and sitting there until i fell asleep. The drive back was long, too long, took 3 days to get out of Texas. The engine broke down right outside of El Paso, and we ended up spending way more time in that city than any of us like, overnight. Finally got back on the road, and a few hours later, we were back in Tucson pulling the engine into the station and shortly thereafter headed home. This time nothing was broken into. Thank God.

Spent the day yesterday cleaning up the house, and doing work in the back yard and garden.

Garden Update:
I picked up another rose as well as some root veggies that went in, and some seeds for wild flowers to hopefully attract some bees. I'll need to get some pictures of it. Otherwise my wine grapes is infested with caterpillars on one of the vines, so I'm fighting those bastards, but my table grape vine is doing great. My existing rose is going thru another bloom blitz as I like to call it, looking forward to spring when I can get a rose that I really want.

Just shows how proud we are of Texas
