My Daily Thoughts
Sunday, July 30, 2006
Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 10:30 hours. I got out of bed and got changed in to street clothes. My paretns were working on the air conditioner fro in the living room. So I decided to help them out. That did not turn out so well, as I seemed to be more in the way. So I decided to eat lunch and read the paper. After that I helped them redo the configuration of my air conditioner. After that they took a break before doing the one in their bedroom. So I got on the computer and played a game for a little bit. Then around 14:30 hours, we started on the last air conditioner, the one that was going in their room. It took us about an 30 minutes to get it in place and have it up and running. After that my father took a shower and I got on the computer to send and email to someone. After my father was done taking a shower, I took one and then ate dinner while I got back on the computer. 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.
The Millersburg Suffle
Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 09:30 hours when the pager went off for a call in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. I got out of bed and got dressed and then me and my father got in my car and headed into the "Barn". We got there and Susie was there. Here we had forgot that Susie was on daylight today and not me. So my dad got in 13-2 to go responding and Medic 6 placed us in service. So then my dad took the ambulance home and I took my car home. Once at home I changed into street clothes and then ate breakfast and read the paper. I then watched some TV. Around 11:45 hours the pager went off for another call in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. 20 got out and we were placed in service. I then got on the computer around 12:00 hours. Then around 12:40 hours the pager went off again for another call in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. My father and Susie took this call. I then ate lunch around 13:00 hours. Then around 14:20 hours the pager went off for a Traumatic Injury in Millersburg's coverage area. 20 got released from the car fire and took the call and we were placed in service. Then the pager went off again for an AFA at Polk Assisted Living in Millersburg Borough. My father and Susie took that call. I then ate dinner and then Bill showed up to look at the new truck and to take pictures of the new truck. I then got back on the computer. Then around 18:45 hours the pager went off for chest pains in Millersburg Borough. My father and me got in 13-2 and off we went. We got up there and got the lady loaded and took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on back. While we were going down Second Street in the city, we passed a motorcycle laying on the ground and a guy sitting on the ground talking to HPD. So we turned at the next street to circle around and see if everyone was ok, when county dispatched Life Team for an accident with injuries at that location. After 1-5 went responding, we advised county that we were 1 block away and that we would swing by and assist 1-5. We got there and we helped them, but the guy refused to go. So after we were done there, we headed on back. We stopped at Shell and got disiel. I got out and that was when I noticed that the left rear hub cap on 13-2 was missing. Once back at the station, I logged our time in and then did my paperwork. After that we headed on home. Once at home I ate 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.

Festival Day 3 and Party
Went to bed Friday night around 02:00 hours and got up at 07:30 hours. I got out of bed and ate breakfast and read the paper. I then changed into street clothes and headed up to the fire house so me and Bubba could fill a swimming pool in Eville. I called down to the house at 09:00 hours and Bubba was up at the fire house by 09:30 hours. While I was waiting for Bubba to show up, it rained off and on. Once Bubba showed up, I threw my gear in the tanker and then we left. We stopped at Gunder's and got something to drink and to eat and then continued over to the house. Once there, we filled the pool up and when we were done, we headed towards Millersburg to head on back. We stopped at BG's to pick up some supplies for the festival and then we went up to Shell and got disiel. We then headed to the pump house and filled the tanker up. We then headed back to the fire station. Once there I ran home real quick and grabbed my Fisherville shirt and a bottle of Gatorade and headed back up to the station. Once back up there, I helped Bubba enter fire call reports into the computer and then I entered in the information from all of the pool fills. We then got in the Utility to head up to Kratzer's for some supplies. As we were pulling out of the station, we heard the ambulance coming, and then the siren stopped. We noticed that they were headed over to Lake Tobias. So we decided to head on over that way to see if they needed any help. We got over there and 13-1 and Medic 6 were there. We stayed back and helped when they asked us to. After they left, we headed on up to Kratzer's. We picked up 2 box fans for in the hall window's and some othr misc. stuff. We then headed on back to the station. Once there, we put the fans in the window's and then I started carring stuff outside and setting it up. Then at 17:50 hours, Bubba said that we had to go fill a pool on the corner. So we went down there and filled the pool and then ran into the pump house and filled the tanker up again. After we were done in there, we headed on back out to the station. We got back and Bubba blocked the street off with the tanker and then I moved the Utility down and blocekd it off. I then grabbed a bite to eat and headed over to the dime pitch to get ready for the ensuring crowd that was going to come. We had a very good crowd last night. I made quite a bit of money on the dime pitch. It would have been more, but I gave about 50 bucks out from people winning the center money pot. I shut the stand down around 22:30 hours so we could tear down. It did not take us long to tear down. We were done by 00:30 hours and head everything put away also. After that I changed shirts and then we all sat around outside. They drank beer and I just drank soda. I really had a great time up there. Helen brought a radio down and we listened to music. Then people started putting ice down other peoples shirts. Then Jason and Lyle got the hose out and sprayed Holly. Well that started everything. Holly went and got a pitcher of water and went after Jason and Lyle. They jumped in Jason's truck and she got on the back and waited for them to get out. So Jason then took Holly for a ride around the block. Then they started spraying everyone and everyone got soaked except me and David. Oh I had a blast. We finally wrapped up around 05:00 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I crashed in bed and got up at 13:30 hours this afternoon. I got out of bed and took a shower and then ate a light lunch and read the paper. I then watched the race from New Hampshire. Kyle Busch won the race.

Bubba then showed up and we all piled into the Utility to go pick up some supplies. We first headed to Swab's so Bubba could show us a truck similar to what we are looking to build. After that we went to Kratzer's to pick up supplies. Whrn we came out, Eric put the box in the back of the Utility and when I shut the tailgate. the middle finger of my left hand, got caught between the tailgate and the cap. Boy did that son of a bitch ever hurt. I was able to drive, but my finger was really throabing with pain. We stopped at Gunder's to pick up iced tea and I grabbed two Gatorade's and had to sit on the bench outside as I was feeling a little lightheaded. After they loaded the Utility up, we headed back to the station. After we did that, Eric left and then me and Bubba started working on trying to put the steps back together. While Bubba was trying to do that, he had me move the chicken BBQ rack out of the old fire house and over across from the fire house for the time. After we could not get the steps working, we decided to run up to Klinger Lumber and get some wood to just start new again. Before we left, we moved the trailer over beside the fire house so we could chain it fast to one of the siren poles. We then ran up there and picked up some wood and then headed on back to the station. Once we got back, Helen and Leeann were there. Barb and Andy then showed up, followed by Lonnie, and then Bruce. Me, Bubba, Helen, and Leeann worked on the steps for a least 5 hours or more. While we were doing that, everyone else put the stands together and hung some of the lights. I left up there around 22:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and ate a snack. I will be going to bed soon as I am really tired.

Accident with Entrapment and Flyout
Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 10:00 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes and then I ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the PS2 to play a game of college football. Around 13:00 hours I believe it was, the pager went off for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. Dohn and Bill handled that call. I then finished up my game and my father came back to play a game with me. Then around i guess it was 15:20 hours the pager went off for an unconscious person in Reed Township, my father got dressed and headed into the station. After I could not find anyone, I ended up getting dressed and then headed in. I told my dad to just go responding and I would meet him on the scene. I got there and the guy ended up refusing to go down. So I then headed back to the "Barn" and Bill was there. I got my times and my dad came in and called Deb about her tripsheet and she said that she was on her way down now. After Deb finished her tripsheet, my father downloaded the information and then I did my paperwork from the refusal. I then heade up to Sheetz and got gas. I then headed on home. Once at home, I grabbed the one box of old minutes and ran them up to the fire house since I saw that the bay doors were opened. I then talked to him a little bit and then headed on home. As I left the firehouse I noticed that my brake light was on again. Needless to say that I was not happy. Once at home I called Troutman's and left a message that I wanted in this week and I wanted the new brake switch installed. I then was getting ready to make dinner and I opened my fire pager up and heard Eville responding to an accident on the top of the Berry Mountain by the quarry. My father got dressed and headed into the shed and I called Deb to let her know to headed towards the shed awhile. I then heard Chief 21-2 ask for us to be dispatched to check the other car on our side of the mountain. Since I was already dressed and had already put my shoes on, I grabbed my hat and keys and jumped in the car and headed towards the fire house awhile. When I pulled in the house siren was just starting it's second revalution. I ran inside and got my pants on and then grabbed my jacket and helmet and got in the officer's seat of the engine. Helen and Leeann were getting in the back and Bubba was getting in the driver's seat. We then pulled out of the station and Bubba had me run back inside and grab the portable radi0. I came back out and got in the engine and then we had to wait for Eric to get on the engine. We then went responding and headed on up towards the mountain. We ended up setting up a landing zone for life lion. We got up there and I grabbed the cones off of the engine while Bubba turned the engine around. Life Lion then landed and Chief 21 came down and took the flight crew up to the scene. We then waited for the ambulance to come back down. After about 20 minutes the ambulance came down and we loaded the Pt. in the chopper and then Life Lion took off. Oh I forgot to mention that Andy and Barb brought the Utility up to the scene also. We then hung around to help block the road off. We then headed back to the station to fill out the report. I then talked for some time and then I headed into Shell to grab a bottle of Gatorade. I then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then ate dinner around 23:30 hours. I will be going to bed soon as it is late.
