These are two pictures of Flat Joaquin. He visited the lab at CalTech with Ed Silverman before leaving to Europe. If you ask me, he looks like he is having fun.

Flah Beagle and A Real Beagle

Today I posted on facebook that we were watching Flash Beagle. I got a response from the new host of Flat Joaquin that he would try and get a picture of Flat Joaquin with a real beagle. Joaquin loves dogs so, he loves this picture. Thank Ed! Now, he is asking when we are moving so he can get his own dog. All I can say is I pray it is soon.

Goodbye Hemet

Flat Joaquin is venturing to new places. We mailed him off this week to Ed Silverman in Azusa, California. Flat Joaquin will be accompanying him to Europe. He will spend a few weeks there having fun and seeing some great places.
Joaquin would like to thank Mr. Silverman for offering to help and kindness. We can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories.

Fast Times at The Pepsi 500

Flat Joaquin and I went to the Pepsi 500. We got to spend some time in The Verizon Hospitality tent where we got to meet David Stremme. We got to tour the pit and the garage as well, where we saw Jeff Gordan. FJ got to sit in the Verizon car. Then we watched the race and felt th e rumble of the cars as they passed by. It was loud and it was awesome. Jimmie Johnson won the race.

Hanging out with Mercy AIr

He lost an eye when the helicopter was landing. No worries it was repaired.

Here is hanging with a Mercy Air Pilot. He was nice.

They let him sit in the pilot's seat. Flat Joaquin was verrrry excited.

Here he is with Joaquin by the helicopter.

Yesterday was open house at Hemet Fire Department. Flat Joaquin went along with us and had fun. He got to see all the kids use a fire hose and a helicopter land. During the landing Flat Joaquin lost an eye but, it was quickly remedied. The wind was strong with those huge blades spinning around. It was a good day.

Riding along in a bucket truck

Flat Joaquin and I worked the day in Meade Valley. It was good to know that Flat Joaquin isn't afraid of heights! F.J. as I call him, was able to help me restore phone service to several customers.

Flat Joaquin and the Perris PD Motorcops

Today flat Joaquin and I rode 117 miles in a 10 hour shift. Flat Joaquin help me catch 12 speeders, 4 seat belts violations, 2 cell phone violations and 2 unlicesed drivers in the City of Perris. Flat Joaquin was a great help to me and was comforting to know he had my back if anything happened. It was a pleasure working with you Flat Joaquin and good luck in your travels. Your friend, Deputy B. Decker.
