Easter and the PreEaster break

Kirsti,Danny and myself just returned from a 5 day minivacation at our Oak Island NC getaway where we were able to really enjoy ourselves despite some pretty poor weather. Its no mansion by any stetch of the imagination but each time we go we manage to fix it up a bit and improve on the provisions and comforts it takes to have fun at the beach. We all have bikes and enjoyed the flat terrain and bike paths around the island. There is a great park on our block and we always have some fun there. Kirsti's brother Bobby lives next door so we all enjoy visiting with them and Dan seems to enjoy his younger couisins. I normaly spend some time fishing but this time the weather seemed to be to much to overcome so the fish were spared this time. I'm just starting to get the hang of fishing there so I havn't hurt the population yet but next time they are in trouble. For me to take a vacation is always a matter of doing 2 weeks work in the week before we leave so the week before was hectic at work to say the least, as we began to reach our goal for work complete for the week one of my guys took a terrible fall from the roof, it all ended in a hook and ladder rescue with lots of ems personell and fireman and a local reporter on the job. The guy that fell looked terrible and I felt guilty as hell as they loaded him in the ambulance. I went to the hospital to see him almost immediately and he looked wors there than on the job. After a night of worrying the next day he called me to let me know he will be ok in about 6-8 weeks. Then the day before we started vacation he actualy drove to the job and brought everyone coffee! What a relief to see him up and around even though he is quite banged up he will make a full recovery. So now its back to work with a big blemish on my near perfect safety record and a few days off under my belt. Just a little corner of my world.
