We can hardly believe that […] Eric survived the Inland Empire Fire Explorer Academy’s 18th Annual Academy. The graduation was close to two hours as many people were recognized for their dedication and service that makes this event a great one. There were close to 300 cadets that participated in the 5 day training. The Inland Empire Fire Explorer Academy President, […] My day started out as usual this Wednesday, I went to work. The first thing on my agenda was to return home to take Eric to the 18th Annual Inland Empire Fire Explorer Association Fire Explorer Academy. He had just out of the shower and said, “I need to get my hair cut.” I got […] The Riverside City Council Regatta and BBQ went well today. It was a fundraiser for the City Councilmemeber’s favorite charity and the Riverside Community Sailing Program. Eric and Jacob were a great help for the event. They helped get the boats in the water and set up. Then they went out and placed the marker […] We were off for an adventure in LA on Tuesday night. We stopped at Carl’s Jr to learn a little about physics. If you try to eat the Six Dollar Jalapeno Cheese burger you will not be able to finish your fries. From there it was off to the observatory to learn a little more. […] Several weeks ago the boys in Crew 6 planned out things that they wanted to do. They like food and the topic of Gourmet Cooking came up. I am game, there is no reason why they should not learn a little about cooking and enjoy eating. The first meeting where they cooked they made hot […] We have a Raccoon problem in our neighborhood. There have been a few around for years, but it seems to have multiplied in the past few months. The trash cans get knocked over more often and vegetables get eaten out of the garden. Raccoon Devastation Last night I received a call from a […] Technology is a wonderful thing. As I was working on sending out a mass emailing to almost 500 people regarding an upcoming scout training, I was sitting behind my desktop computer and had my laptop on my left. Both were up and running and I did a few different things. I went into the living […] This past week Eric has participated in the Riverside Community Sailing Program, a program to teach youth how to sail. He volunteered as part of the rescue team as he is trained in first aid and CPR because he is a Fire Explore. His first task was to get into the rescue boat with Megan, […] Day 5 went fairly quickly. The boys had camp wide games in the afternoon so they were running around. For the evening campfire, Jacob had to announce skits and participate for a requirement of the communications merit badge. He was terrified about standing in front of all the people and talking in public. He did […] Today was a quick starting day because I needed to get to my Leave No Trace class. Breakfast was at 7:00 and it was good. We had scrambled eggs had onions and peppers in them along with diced potatoes. When I was getting served, I asked about that green salsa that we had on […] I came to visit Jacobs Pioneering Merit Badge class. There was no room to sit on the bench so I sat on the ground. I turned my camera on to take a picture of Jacob but was not afforded a good picture opportunity. I got tires so I laid down and rested my head on […] I visited one of Jacobs merit badge classes. I was not extremely excited about the class and the way it was taught. At lunch one of the other boys in Jacobs’s class sat next to Jacob. I asked the young man about the class. He thought he was teaching the class the way he was […] Today has been a very busy day. I was up early for a shave using a Palmolive shaving cream from India in the fragrance of Lemon. I was told to use it up before I came home. It was an invigorating shave with the lemon fragrance. I used some Aqua Velva cool ice to follow […] Scout Camp has gone well so far. Last night was the opening campfire and the scouts really enjoined it. Upon arrival back at camp everyone quickly retired to their tents for the night. However, as tradition has it, there is always a couple of boys that talk later in the evening. Then again, chatter […] |
