Air Pack Training

Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours and got up this morning at 06:15 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes. I then went outside and got the paper. I then made and ate breakfast and read the comics. I then headed up to the fire house at 07:00 hours for the chicken BBQ today. I got up there and Bubba was already there. He had shoveled the snow from in front of the doors on the old fire house. He then ran into the inches thick ice from the big snow storm back in February. I grabbed a pry bar off of the engine and started chipping away at the ice. Dave then showed up with his tractor and finished taking the ice away so that we could get the doors open. By that time we had quite a bit of help so I did not have to put the charcoal in the pit this time. Once we got the charcoal in the pit, we moved it out and then got it fired up. We then got the chickens on it and we were off and cooking chickens. We sold out by noon time. We then got everything cleaned up and then I headed on home. Once at home I ate my chicken half while I watched some TV. I then read the paper and then did a few things on the computer before heading back up to the fire house around 16:45 hours. I got up there and they were getting the hall ready for air pack training tonight. Eville came down with their resuce to fill the cylinders after we were done with them. I had fun tonight and it was very educational, thought my knees paid for it. We then cleaned stuff up and got things put back together and then we all kind of sat in the fire house and shot the shit. People then began to slowly leave and I left there around 22:20 hours and headed on home. Once at home I relaxed and soaked in a nice warm bath. I am getting ready to crash in bed as I am really tired.
