I wanted to give those of you I promised a free starter survival kit an update. I hate making excuses <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />, but we have had a few incidents at the house that has forced me to move a lot of my supplies around and right now things are a bit disorganized to say the least <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.

Last year, our roof suffered some damage due to a storm, we had it fixed or so we thought as we recently noticed the plaster ceiling in our bedroom was beginning to crumble and fall <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. So, we had to move stuff from our bedroom and attic area where the leaking was occurring. The roof has been replaced, but the stuff has not been moved back yet <img src="/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />.

Then my middle daughter comes into our bedroom 5:30 Saturday morning and says the house smells of oil and were we all going to die <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. We went into the basement and sure enough our oil tank had developed a nice leak. The tank was pumped out, but we had to move A LOT OF STUFF (man, do we have a lot of junk ? I mean good stuff <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) from the basement, outside under tarps so the tank could be replaced.

In addition, I have had an enormous amount of training the last month plus, Paramedic Refresher, Rescue Boat Ops, Helicopter Hoist Ops Refresher and now Trench Rescue Refresher through this weekend; so free time has been nonexistent <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

It will likely be a week or more until after Thanksgiving before we will have the chance move things back and get organized. So, I must apologize to all of those who were expecting the kit before now, unfortunately it will be several more weeks before I can finish putting the kits together (I did start be fore all this happened) and get them sent out <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />.

Sorry-
Pete
