I think that "Blue Grass Thing" has to do with Kentucky and NOT Tennessee. That shows how much some Northern Yankee from the sticks of Connecticut knows. But how did us all like that foot stompin' video anyway ? Was ya all tappen' your feet too ?
Well anyway, in our next clue here, "Irish" is right. I bet he knows just what's going on. And I bet Rev "CFDMarshall", from Tennessee, and recently retired "fdce54" from the Bronx, NY knows what's going on too.
Maybe we been waiting long enough and if one of those guys wants to tell us about it, I think we're ready to find out.

Ill take it Willy D.
Video 2 is the Irish National Anthem "Amhr?n na bhFiann" or "The Soldier?s Song" in English and its all to do with The Rev "CFDMarshall" and Frank D "fdce54" visiting Ireland over the next 2 wks. In fact The Rev "CFDMarshall" is probably about 38,000ft somewhere above the US North East as i type
Myself, The Rev and Frank plan to meet up in Dublin on Sept 11th and i hope to be able to sort out a trip into Dublin Fire Brigade HQ so Rev Elwood can meet some Irish FF's and work on his Irish Accent for Oct lol
Hopefully after that we can stop off in a pub or 2 and toast you all lol
Pics to follow next week
Thanks very much "Irish", because that is exactly what I heard too.
What we actually have here is three individuals from completely different backgrounds. Yet all with the same interest and meeting up in a another country across a big, big pond.
These three individuals probably never knew each other until some web site came along. No, it wasn't a dating service web site that brought them together. It was actually this one. A guy from Ireland, a guy from Tennessee, and a guy from the Bronx, NY.
Several of us on here personally know all three. "Irish", "CFDMarshall" and "fdce54". All great guys and all that several members on here would agree with me on also.
Enjoy yourselves my friends. Don't forget to keep us updated okay.

Today, September 5, 2015, Retired East Hartford, Ct Firefighter and site member Pat D., aka "Patrickfd" became Grandpa "Patrickfd". A new grandson who I am sure will be chasing fire trucks just like his grandfather does. I do know this, he is one lucky guy to have a grandpa like him.
So as is our custom here in celebrating this joyous event, we dedicate this one to you too Pat. As you join some other special grandpas who are just like you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT0mkPci06s

Quick Irish Visit Update.....of sorts
Rev Elwood "CFDMarshall" from his facebook posts seems to be having a grand aul time in Ireland having visited Dingle in County Kerry and is now in Kilkenny. I plan on meeting him on Friday 11th to visit Dublin Fire Brigade HQ then maybe a few quiet drinks
Our plan was to meet up with Frank "fdce54" but sadly Frank informed us before he left the states that he couldn't meet us on the 11th as he was leaving for County Leitrim Thursday 10th. Thats all ive heard from Frank. Ive txted him but not sure if hes getting my messages and said he wouldn't be on Facebook while hear so lets hope hes enjoying Ireland

"Irish" and "Rev CF", drink up and enjoy yourselves.
That "fdce54" guy promised all of us he would retire November, 2014 too. But he didn't do that either. He finally retired July 1st. He thinks we all forgot that stuff.
Got you added to the Grandpa List too "Grump". Page 16.

Well the Good News i've touched base with the Rev Elwood "CFDMarshall" earlier today. Dublin was a washout. No rain for 2 weeks, the Rev turns up and the heavens opened ALL DAY
We went down to Tara St Fire Station (Dublin fire Brigade HQ) and waited for 20mins for someone to show us around. Sadly it didn't happen we were told there was no one available and to come back later (which annoyed me)
We took the decision to jump a taxi and head to the 2nd city Station (Phibsboro) home to 2 Engines, 1 Rescue, 1 Ambulance & 1 BC
After waiting 10mins at the door someone eventually answered. FF Keith showed us around gave us local Dublin info and gave the Rev a rundown of All the rigs. Sadly 1 Engine & the Rescue where Spare rigs as the Rescue was involved in an MVA on Thursday the 10th and there 2nd pump was in the garage
He showed us all the T-Shirts (which included T-Shirts from Iraq & Afghanistan) and the New Memorial Garden the lads have built
we then left and headed for O'Donoghue's Pub Home of The Dubliners Irish Folk Band for "a few drinks".
Sadly i counldn't stay too long but we did meet a Great River FD FF (NYC State) who noticed my 3 Truck top and chatted for a bit until we left
Was Great to See The Rev Elwood who ate well and drank alot whilst here. Looking forward to seeing him in Oct. Was gutted DFB HQ didnt work out for us and neither did the weather but what can ya do??
Safe Travels Home Rev Great to see you. As for Frank "fdce54" the best we could do was raise a Glass to you and say "Slainte"

Thanks "Irish" for the update.
I will say this, "a couple of handsome guys in that photo".
When you guys meet up in October, a couple of those fine looking, NYC girls, wanted to meet you. My phone hasn't stopped ringing since a few of my lady friends saw that picture.
I told them that you wouldn't have any time for them. So they got mad at me and hung up.
