During a study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water.

On average they'd give up and sink after 15 minutes.

But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and put them back in for a second round.

In this second try - how long do you think they lasted?

Remember - they had just swam until failure only a few short minutes ago...

How long do you think?

Another 15 minutes?

10 minutes?

5 minutes?

No!

60 hours!

That's not an error.

That's right! 60 hours of swimming.

The conclusion drawn was that since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be rescued, they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible.

I will leave you with this thought:

If hope can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long, what could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you?

Remember what you’re capable of. Remember why you’re here. "

Keep swimming.

Breakfast of champions, starts with a toasted artisan style everything bun, blended maple bbq sauce w/ garlic deli mustard, two fresh eggs with everything bagel seasoned grilled avocado, cheddar,Swiss, and hatch pepper infused white cheddar cheeses, slices of turkey breast, fresh salsa, and queso. Not a bad flavor combo. And of course some fresh brewed fire department coffee.

Please take extra time to drive safely. Highway crews are out and about treating the roads, be patient with them while driving. Stay safe and arrive alive.

It's that time of year again.
My teammates and I are making the climb in Manchester again. On September 10th, we will be climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories,to remember and reflect on the 343 first responders that bravely tried to climb. Please help support us, anyway you can. Any amount is greatly appreciated and goes towards the fallen firefighters association. Thank you all for your support.
