Aren't you guys afraid of lighting? "No were firefighters."

Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours ans got up this morning at 11:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and read the paper. I went off duty at 12:00 hours and I then changed into street clothes. I called up to Troutman's to see if my part had come in yet, and it had not. So I then got on the PS2 to play some NASCAR Racing. I got off the PS2 to eat dinner and watch a little tv. Then around 18:20 hours, Bubba called me and asked me if I wanted to go along with him to help fill some swimming pools. I told him I would be up in a few minutes. I got in my car and headed up to the fire house. Once up there I grabbed my gear and put it on the tanker and then got in and off we went. We first filled a pool in Berrysburg, that used about half a load of water. So we ran the other half over to Bubba's sister in Eville. We then ran back to the pump house in Halifax to fill the tanker up. While we were in there, it started to thunder and lighting. After we filled up, we headed over to Dividing Ridge Road to top off a pool. As we were rolling the hose up it started to rain. By the time we got back to the pump house, it was pouring out. Both of us got soaked filling the tank up. After we were done there, we headed back up to Bubba's sister's house to finish filling her pool up. Bubba then talked to his sister and mother for awhile and then we left and headed back to the pump house. By now it was raining off and on and by the time we left tyhe pump house it was a steady rain again. We then ran up to Shell to get disiel and then we headed back to the station. Once back at the station, I took my gear off and then helped Bubba put together the pressure washer he got today for the fire company. After that we both left and headed for home. Once at home I took the trash out and then took a shower. I just finished eating a shower and am going to hit the sack soon.
