Pack Up!

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 07:30 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got breakfast and ate it while I checked a few things online. I then got dressed and went out and got the paper, and then I came back inside and read the comics. I then headed up to the hose house. I got up there around 09:02 hours and I parked my car and popped my trunk and took my gear inside the station. A few people were already there. We were there for about 45 minutes and then they pulled all the apparatus out. I put my bunker pants on and got smaller suspenders from Bubba. I then got a Fisherville jacket that fit me and I put my Halifax Rescue jacket back in the trunk of my car. We then all got on the pieces. I got on the engine and we all headed on out to Dave Foust's farm to do vehicle fires. We used his old demo car from the Gratz fair last year. Carsonville came over also to train and to also respond on any structure fires in the township, while we broke down the lines and got stuff repacked. We pulled the trash line off of the engine and then pulled a preconnect off of the tanker to use as a safety line. Dave then started a fire in the call and four of us packed up along with 2 from carsonville. I packed up for the first time and I got to play with the trashline on the fire. After each person hit the car, we would wait about 10 to 15 minutes to let the fire get going again, and add stuff to the car as needed to keep the fire going. After we played around with the trash line, we used the line off the tanker and started flowing CAFS. We then played around some with the CAFS and then we took a group picture. We then started breaking down both lines abd putting the air packs away. We then headed on over to a house on Small Valley Road, who had called county and reported that a tree on this guys property looked like it was going to fall any moment. It was funny, all three pieces from Fisherviller went out along with Carsonville's two engines. So there were like 20 of us standing there looking at this tree. We told the guy that it was a PP&L problem and to call us when the tree falls down and we will come out and cut it up. After that we headed back to the station. Once there, we all went inside and I cleaned the mask that I wore and put it away. I then took my bunker pants and boots off and put my shoes back on. I then took the 4 rolls of hose off of the tanker and layed them out in the bay to dry. Bubba then called in and order 5 pizzas, since we invited Carsonville back to our station. We then watched the Steelers/Colts game. The pizza then showed up and we ate while we watched the game. I stayed until half time. At half time, Carsonville left and headed on back to their station and then Bubba and Robbie took the engine and tanker into get fuel. So I then took my gear out and put it in my trunk and then got in my car and headed on home. I got home around 14:50 hours. I then went inside and told my parents what we did and then I took a nice, hot relaxing shower. After that I watched the rest of the game. It was a very good game, but the Steelers could have played better then what they did. They did win however and are moving on to face the Bronco's in Denevr next Sunday. After that I got on the PS2 and played Burnout 3 and ate dinner while I played. I then got changed into my uniform so I could cover for my father while him and my mother went into something at church. They were gone for about 1-1/2 hours. I got off of the Ps2 around 17:55 hours and I got online. I then had a light snack 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.
