Super Bowl Sunday

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 11:00 hours. I got out of bed and took a shower. I then read the paper while I ate lunch. Sue then called around 12:40 hours and said that they were going to run up to Giant and get a few balloons and then go to the Dollar Store and get a card. She said that she would call me back when they were done shopping. Then at 12:59 hours the fire pager went off for a chimney fire in Jackson Township. I got my shoes on and grabbed my jacket, hat and keys and got in my car and headed up to the fire house. My father went about getting his bunker pants on before heading up to the fire house. I pulled in and parked and Bruce pulled in behind me. I went inside and Bubba was already there and Robby was getting his gear on. I kicked my shoes off, put on my bunker pants, grabbed my jacket and helmet and then went over to the Engine. I got in the left rear jump seat. Bruce was driving, Bubba had the OIC's seat. LeeAnn then came in and got in the right jump seat. My father came in and was going to get in the Engine, when Bubba told him to go with Robby in the Tanker. We then stopped and Ray got on the Engine. It ended up being Wil's house. We got there and took the 24 foot ladder off of the Tanker and set that up against the chimney. We ended up cleaning the chimney and the stove inside. I set up the exhuast van inside by the back door to draw the smoke out of the house. We were there for about 1-1/2 hours. We then went back to the fire house and once I got changed out of my bunker gear, I called Sue's cell phone. I had called them when we were leaving the station and told her that I would be in as soon as I got back from the call. I talked to her and she said that I didn't have to come in and that they would sign my name on the card for me. I talked to both Sue and Amanda for a little bit and then hung up. I then filled out the report for the call and then me, Bubba, Jason and LeeAnn talked for some time. I then headed on home. Once at home I updated the website and did a few things on the computer. I then grabbed my chips, soda, and fudge and headed back up to the fire house. I dropped the food off at the hall and then parked my car and went inside the station. Bubba then showed up and we talked for a little bit. He then went down to the house to bring his TV up to the hall. Bill then showed up and went into the hall. LeeAnn then came back from running in town to get a few things and went up to the hall. After Bubba got his TV up to the hall, we hooked the cable up and ran it up into the hall to the TV. We then sat all the food out and setteled in to watch the game. It started out as a good game, as I was for the Bears, and then it went downhill and they ended up losing to the Colts. I had fun at the party and then after it was over, we cleaned everything up. We all then slowly left and after we got Bubba's TV loaded up in his car, I left and went home. Once at home I called Sue to thank her and Amanda for putting my name on the card. We then talked for about close to an hour. I am soon going to hit the sack as I am tired.
