it is for sure a cool fire truck, not too big, most are well cared for. Just have to run the pump regularly, like any machine.
RNG, start learning labels like Tank To Pump. Suggest you color code or number levers to make sure you get them working
in the right order. Are you expecting to leave this rig stationary and run lines from there? You know you can hide this truck behind a building and run a 2.5 inch line to a standpipe close in where you need it, and then have hose reels at standpipe. I bet you want to be able to drive it to edge of your property though.
Might check to see if local fire company has some old turnout gear they can give/sell you. If you have your own fire truck, those guys will love you...
The real stuff has gotten amazingly expensive, I remember paying 125 bucks for a turnout coat.

Having neighbors over for barbecue dinner. Need to get ribs marinating so that is first job.
One NC vinegar pepper flavored, other Kentucky bourbon and smokey flavored.
I bought some Brunswick stew and two kinds of local made chopped pork barbecue.
Fat and salt, fat and salt, at least I can freeze all the leftovers.
Going to cheat and going out at lunchtime and buy fried chicken from local barbecue store.
If they have ribs with a different flavor, might buy some of them too. In case mine are inedible...
Figured I'd cook them slowly for about two hours, keeping them flipped and basted.
At least I can't go wrong, I think, with a chocolate cake ice cream cake.
Need to make some decaf iced tea, don't think any of these folks drink alcohol.
Prior to entertaining, the cook certainly does...
