Celebrating a promotion!

Just got the phone call today to report to the fire academy on Jan 20th for training in the position of fire engineer. After nearly 10 years of going into fires for the city of Chicago, I will finally get to see what they look like from outside of the building!

The pay increase isnt all that much, but its a MUCH safer job that should extend my life expectancy by quite a bit. In celebration of this occassion, please post any toners you may have that show splashes of FIRE ENGINE RED!!!
