My Finger

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 10:30 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch, read the paper and watched some TV. I then got changed into street clothes and then headed up to the fire house. Eric was already there when I got there. We went in the old fire house and brough the cake wheel and ballon dart stands out and leaned them up against the hall. 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.
