The End of Blogging

Well after 3 years and 11 months I am finally going to stop blogging. It is mainly due to inactivity of my blog and will mean one less thing for me to worry about doing each day now that I am busier then ever before. I will leave the blog up so everyone can read my over abundence of previous blogs and veiw the little window I gave into my life for close to four years. That's it for me, god bless and god rest.

Some Light Flurries

I went to bed last night around 04:45 hours and got up this afternoon around 12:50 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and then read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things online. Then around 16:40 hours I got changed into nice clothes to head into Carl Snyder's Office at Centruy 21 to attend the kickoff for the Rebbeca Margerum campagin. I got in there right at 17:00 hours and headed on in. I talked to Debbie first who I had talked to on the phone the other day and then I talked seom the Rebbeca. I then got two packets for the fire company and Bubba and then I left there around 17:40 hours and headed up to Sheetz. Once there I got gas and then stopped at the Giant and picked up three bags of chips and two gallons of Diet Iced Tea and then headed on home. Once at home I ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV and did a few things online. I am now getting ready to go take a shower. I am then going to hit the old email and surf the net.

THE STEELERS WIN!!!

The Adult Bingo went very good, we had a total of 40 people, including me there, which was more then we had the last time. I figured I had about 12 beers in about 5 hours time, and I was really trashed, and apparently the last game of bingo got interesting due to me starting to slur my words. I apparently talked to Robin for some bit in the kitchen before saying goodbye to Jess and leaving and heading on home I believe somewhere around midnight, but I am not sure. I do know that once I got home I went straight to bed. I woke up around 06:20 hours and decided I better take a shower and get cleaned up before going into work. I then laid back down in bed until my alarm went off at 07:10 hours. I then got out of bed and got dressed and then got my things together and then left the house and headed up to Eville to go to work. I stopped at Koppy's and picked up some Gatorade and a newspaper and then headed to the station. I felt somewhat better then I did when I first got up, but still wasn't at 100%. I read the paper and then started making the tracking number spreadsheet. The Lykens crew was already out on a call when Tim came in and saked about lunch. I said about going to Burger King and he was fine with that. So we got in 6-4 and pulled out the bay door when the tones went off for bleeding class 2 in Eville borough. We went responding right away and we got there and got her loaded up and took her down to Holy Spirit Hospital. After we got what we needed, we stopped at Wendy's and we both got something to eat and then headed on back. We heard that 6-5 went on the scene, and then Tim said he head them get cancelled. Once back at the station Tim hosed 6-4 down and I did my chart and then went back to working on the spread sheet. Kathy and John then came in as the tones went off for an ALS call in Halifax Township. I ran him down there and then while on my way back to the station, called Jo-Jo's and ordered the food for the super bowl. I then picked it up and headed back to the station. I got to see them intorduce the teams and the coin toss and then left to go pick Tim up at Sheetz. I helped move his gear over and then we headed on back and got back just as the second quarter was starting. It was then quiet and I got to watch the rest of the game, and what a game it was, one oft he best I have seen in a long time. I then watched the Discovery Channel and got on the computer to check a few things and then laid down on the couch around 02:30 hours. The tones went off at 05:29 hours for abdominal pains class 3 in Mifflin Township. We got there and got the lady loaded up and took her up to Evangelical Hospital. After we got what we needed, we stopped at the McDonald's just acorss from the hospital to get something to eat for breakfast and then headed on back. Tim had to stop at the Sunco outside of Dalmatia and get some more coffee and then we stopped at Shell back in Eville and fueled the truck up. Once back at the station I did my chart and then clocked out and headed up to the vets to pick up some food for April and then stopped at Swab's, not a whole lot had been done to the body when I stopped. I then headed on home and once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 01:20 hours. I got out of bed and ate a pack of crackes and read the paper. I then got on the computer to check a few things before the meeting tonight. My parents then got home about 5 minutes aparat from each other and I helped my mother bring a few things in from her van. I then ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV and did a few things on the computer. I then changed into street clothes and headed up to the fire house around 17:40 hours to get things ready for the meeting. The meeting went good, was kind of long since Bubba was there. After both meetings then myself, Bubba, LeeAnn, Troy, Dave and Holly went down to the fire house to shot the sit and look over the stuff we were going to take off the Utility to put onto the Squad. We all then left and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.

A Slow Day with Wertz

I went to bed Thursday night around 03:00 hours and got up Friday morning at 06:50 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got my stuff together and then left the house around 07:15 hours and headed up to Swab's. I stopped at Swab's to check on the body and they had the sides clamped in place on the top compartments. I then left and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at Tower Mini Mart and picked up a paper and a bag of chips and then headed to the station. Once there I parked and took my stuff inside and clocked in and put my stuff away. I then did a rig check on 6-4 and then Yeager came out and gave me his report. I then ate breakfast while I filed the proper form out. I then read the paper while Wertz tided up. We then headed on down to Special Place and met the Eville crew along with Boyer and ate breakfast there. We then went back to the Eville station to pick up 6-7 to take up to Lykens. I got there and saw that he Combi-Carrier's were in so I told Wertz to give me 20 minutes so I could get them tagged and logged on my sheet. We then headed back up to Lykens and I read the paper and then got in the computer to do a few things and I also ate lunch. Then around 15:00 hours we went over to the Gratz Mall and I got a piece of pizza and some beef sticks and then we headed back. Once back at the station we watched Mother, Jugs, and Speed that I brought along. Then around 18:30 hours the tones went off for a Signal 21 at the Wal-Mart. Since Tim and Stutzman were already out on a fall victim from earlier, me and Wertz took the call. It was for some 11 year old boy who was acting up and had slap his mother in the face. We got on scene and PSP said that they would handle the call, which was fine with me. We headed back to Lykens and then at 19:00 hours I called Ciao's and got a ham and cheese sub and then ate that while I watched TV. Kuntz then came in at 20:00 hours and Wertz left. I then called Bubba around 23:00 and we talked and then he called me back around 00:30 hours and we talked some more. In between us talking I hosed 6-5 down again and then got on the computer to do a few things. I then laid down on the bed around 01:30 hours and the tones went off around 02:30 hours I believe it was for Upper Paxton Township. I reset the pager and went back to bed. The tones then went off again around 03:10 hours for breathing problems in Upper Paxton Township. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then got in the truck and waited until Kuntz got in and then off we went. We got there and I moved his gear over and then headed to Sheetz. Stutzman was sitting there also waiting for Tim to get back with Millersburg. I parked and got in his truck and we talked until Tim got back. I then went into Sheetz and got something to drink and to munch on to help me stay awake. Kuntz then got back and I moved his gear over and then we headed back to Lykens. Once there he restocked and I hosed the truck off again and then went back to sleep. I woke up at 08:02 hours when I heard the doors slaming in the day room. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and then got my boots on and put my pillow away. I then got my stuff out of the truck and clocked out. I talked to John and Ron for a little bit and then I left and headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon at 12:40 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and read the paper. I am now doing a few things online and am soon going to eat dinner. I am then going to head up to the fire house to call bingo for our special bingo. Once I am done there I am going to come home and take a shower and then hit the old email and surf the net. I should be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk, just give me a buzz.

Worst Case Scenario

I went to bed last night around 03:00 hours and woke up this afternoon at 14:20 hours when my mother called the house. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes and then got my shoes on and grabbed my jacket and waited for her to get home. Once she got home I got in her van and we headed up to Goodwill. Once there we dropped off 5 trash bags of my Grandmother's clothes that my mother and her sister had gone through today. We then ran over to Wal-Mart so she could pick up a few things and then we headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then ate dinner while I did a few things online and watched MASH on TV. I just got done taking a shower and am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Driving Class 1 in the Snow

I left the house last night around 19:15 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. It was already snowing out when I left. I stopped at Koppy's and grabbed something to munch on that evening and then headed to the station. Once there I parked and took my stuff inside and clocked in and put my stuff where it needed to go. I then checked supplies and put the supplies that had come in away. I then did a rig check on 6-5 and then filled out the proper form and did a few other things online. I then swept the carpet in the day room while Bowser ran up to Koppy's in the Squad to get some Advil and something to drink. I had sat down to watch TV when around 22:20 hours the tones went off for an unconscious person in Washington Township. I went out to the bay and Bowser was just backing in, so I started 6-5 and once he got in off we went. The guy accidently overdosed and was almost a code by the time we got there. I took my time as the roads were now covered with snow. We got the guy in and I started bagging him right away while Bowser did his job and once we got him semi-stable, I jumped in the front and off we went to Harrisburg Hospital, class 1, but at a very slow pace, with me never topping 40 mph. After we got what we needed down there, we started the long and slow trek back. We got back around 01:30 hours and I backed the truck in so we could restock. Once we were done with that, I pulled the truck back out and hosed it off while it was snowing out. I then backed it in and sat down in the day room to eat my snack and watch some TV. I also talked to Bubba for a little bit. I then got on the computer at 04:00 hours and put an order for supplies in and checked a few other things. I then finally laid down on the couch around 05:20 hours. I got up at 07:51 hours when I heard Bowser making noise in the day room. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and put my pillow away. I then got my stuff out of 6-5 and took it into the day room. Kathy then got there and the three of us shot the shit for sometime until Jim got there. I then cleaned my car off and headed to Swab's. Once there I got a few pictures and talked to Jay and Bruce and then headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon at 12:30 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things. My father then got home and got the snow blower out and I changed clothers and went out and helped him clear the driveway off. I then came in and ate dinner while I watched MASH in TV and did a few things online. I then took a shower and ate a light snack. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

More Work at the Fire House

I went to bed last night around 03:00 hours and got up this morning at 10:40 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes as I was going to run into Giant. My mother was gone and I thought she was down at grandpa's house. So I called her to tell her that I was going to head into Giant. She said that she was up at the vets and she was going to run in there anyway, so I told her what I needed. I then read the paper until she got home and I then ate lunch. I then headed up to the fire house to do a few more things. I saw that Bubba had brought his heat gun up for me to use and I decided to do that awhile. So I took the stickers off of the flat shovel, the three scoop shovles and the two broom heads. I then filled out a report for the fire from last Friday night. I then talked to Bubba around 14:00 hours and asked him about what to say to Piffer's. I then loaded my gear into the Utility and then pulled the Engine out and then the Utility, then backed the Engine in and closed the bay door and then got in the Utility and headed up to Piffer's. I got there and picked the cylinder up and headed back to the station. I got there and pulled the Engine out and then backed the Utility in and then backed the Engine in and closed the bay door. I then sat the cylinder on the table and put my gear back in my stall. I then got on the computer to continue to re-type the constitution. Bubba then stopped in before leaving for work and we talked for a little bit. He then left and then Robby and his boy stopped in and we talked for a little bit and then I logged out of the computer and headed on home. I am now eating dinner and am getting ready to head to work for my 12 hour night shift. I won't be back home until tomorrow morning.
