Pressure Washer

Went to bed last night at 01:45 hours and around 08:30 hours this morning the pager went off for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township. I got out of bed and put my glasses on and put my hearing aid in and started putting my socks on when 20 went responding. With that I reset my pager and went back to bed. I then got up around 09:45 hours and got changed and ate breakfast and read the paper. I then wnet into the bathroom and while I was in there we got a call for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. 20 went available and went responding and put us in service. I then got my boots on and headed on into town. I went up to Giant and picked up some iced tea for myself and then headed back to the "Barn". Bill was there working on the thank you letters for the subscriptions. I copied some things for my father. As I was finsihing up, the pager went off for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township. Bill called Dohn and told him to pick us up at the station. Dohn went responding and picked us up and off we went. We got there and we took the lady down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there we headed on back. Once back at the statio, I logged my time in, out new batteries in the pulse ox and then started assembling the pressure washer. After I got it all put together and had the gas and oil I i started it up, boy did it run good, and then it shut off. I had forgotten to open the choke back up after the motor was running, so I flooded the engine. Then the pager went off for a fall person in Wayne Township. We got a hold of Dohn and told him to pick us up at the station again. Dohn went responding and picked us up and off we went again. We got there and then Medic 81 showed up and we placed him in service. We took him down to Hershey. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. Once back at the station I logged my time in and I got the pressure washer fired up. After I tested it I put it away, and Dohn left. My dad then showed up and the three of us talked for a little bit and then Susie showed up and we talked with her for a little bit, while we listened to the call that Medic 6 had in Gratz. They had a head on collison in front of Lisi's Shell. They transported 3 BLS to Hershey by ground, flew one to Hershey by Life Lion and had two Siginal 12's. After we heard the end of that, we headed on home. I just finished eating dinner and am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the web. Will be on late tonight so give a buzz if you want to talk.
