Festival Day 1

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this motning at 06:00 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and took a shower and then ate breakfast and read the paper. I then put all my pins and badges on my dress shirt and then got changed into my dress uniform. I then headed up to the fire house around 08:45 hours. I got up there and Eric was already there and Bubba was just heading into the station. We left the station around 09:30 hours and headed on up to Millersburg to the funeral home. We got up there and waited until 29 got there. Engine 29 finally showed up with like 5 minutes remaining of the viewing. After the viewing was over, we all lined up and headed for long's cemetary for the burial. As we were coming up on Dollar General, county toned out Box 216-2, for a smoke investigation. We turned around and headed back out on the call. It ended up being a controled burn and the box was placed in service. So Bubba went to the Shell in Eville to fuel up the tanker and I headed on home with the Utility to change clothes and to eat lunch. Once at home I changed out of my dress uniform and then ate lunch. After I was done I headed back up to the fire house. Once there I waited on Eric to get back so we could go out and hang up some posters in town. Once he got back we headed on into town and hung quite a few posters up. I then stopped at Shell and got fuel and grabbed something to drink. I then stopped at McDonald's so Eric could get something to eat. We then headed on back to the fire house. Once there we worked on setting various things up. Me and Bubba then ran out to Valley Ag and Turf so Bubba could pick up the tractor for us to use these three nights. We then got the rest of the stuff set up for the festival. I think things went very good for it being a Thursday night. Sue came out with the grandkids, so I got to see her, before she had to leave so suddenly. We wrapped up the carnival and I got home around 23:00 hours. I took a shower and ate a snack and am getting ready to hit the old bed and get some sleep.
