I got to thinking, if I'm going to run my own business, then it's only fair that Dave work too. We don't want to put all of our eggs in one basket, so to speak, so I went out and found him a job. We went to the local fire station number 2, built in 1815 - after all, he's interested in that at home. The captain spoke enough English to get us through the interview process. There wasn't even a driving test involved. Once Dave confirmed that he could help wash the captain's car in the back parking lot, he was in! Apparently the only thing Dave has to brush up on is his card playing skills. And he's already looking forward to April 17 - a big holiday where all of the firefighters get the day off. I asked what happens if there is a fire in town that day, and the captain laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
Rylan didn't pass the height requirement, so we're still looking for something for him to earn his keep with. I'm trying to think of a job that requires testing how loud he can scream, just to hear his voice, or eating his feet - those are skills Rylan has acquired these past few weeks. Any suggestions?

So you found the fire house?! That fire truck looks slightly familiar. Is it the one with the single blue blinker light that we see driving around town going, "WOO, WOOO, WOOOOOOO!"? We also know Alex. Quite a funny and friendly man.
Take care!

Jobs for Rylan:
1) Pedicurist (They don't have to be HIS feet, do they?)
2) Siren for the fire engine

This is awesome! Where is the firehouse? We're bringing our son when we come to Uralsk and he'd love visiting. Kuddos to you both for keeping your sense of humor during all the wait. Hoping you get home soon.
Hi guys, good news on the work front for Dave. Kelly has the next tour of holidays following your last tour off and is willing to work for you (unless he is in jail or something like that).If you need the extra week off. Let us know if you need it, we will take care of it at this end.
Good Luck
Don
