Re: [californiadisasters] plane down

Me I never got to play with the horses but I have rode a tailboard or 20 (twenty) in my time.

 

Of course the funny thing is as a Junior Firefighter (16 years old) on a volunteer FD in NJ I was only allowed to ride the hose bed of the 1957 B Model Mack (mind you I was 16 in 1981) since it was "Safer" than the tailboard!

 

I grew up in a lead based painted home as well.

Rick, Back in the day when you used to play, did you ride the tail board or did they allow you to drive the horses ?       oops ! jrb --- On Thu, 7/1/10, Rick Bates <HappyMoosePhoto@gmail.com> wrote: From: Rick Bates <HappyMoosePhoto@gmail.com> Subject: RE: [californiadisasters] plane down To: californiadisasters@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010, 7:07 PM Of course you're correct.  I'll vent a little whine so others in the group can get used to some of the newer terms. The 'new' designation (past 6-7 years) of contained is, 'it's OUT' as opposed to the 'old school' meaning simply "we got it surrounded or stopped forward progress'.  I've even used the phrase "Shaky containment" which meant exactly that "We got it, but I ain't so sure how well (don't cancel units just yet)".  'Under control' meant exactly what is says (It ain't goin' nowhere). Sometimes newer isn't better.  Mean what you say and say what you mean, contained used in the current fashion is vague.  I don't like it, but that's life.  I'm not playing anymore but I still pay attention.
