Holy Crap!!!

Well it has been a long time. Things are going.........just that. I am now back on days and loving it. As of now our department has offered to eliminate 4 positions in the jail and we had 3 people retire and 1 move to the road patrol. So that saves some jobs for now. It is also an election year and we will have a new Sheriff come the 1st of the year. I have a good friend from Red Wing PD who is running for Sheriff and has a pretty good chance at winning. What this means for me is a "chance" to succeed in my career. I have not asked him to do anything special for me other than to give me a fair chance at succeeding in the department. He seems to indicate to me that there might be more than that waiting for me but I only want a fair shot and a clean slate.

On other fronts money is tough, kids are tough, marriage is tough and trying, and real life is tough. But life goes on and we keep on plugging away.

Thats it for now. Hope to post again soon!
