My Second Home

Went to bed last night at 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning at 10:43 hours when the fire pager went off for the fire police to assist Company 29's fire police with traffic control in town due to a disabeled tractor trailer. I reset the pager and went back to sleep. I was then rocked back out of bed again around 11:20 hours when the EMS pager went off for an unknown problem in Jackson Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got there and parked and then got in 13-1 and off me and Carol went. We got there and found out that it was a medical alert alarm, and no one was at home, so we were available and headed back to the shed. Scott was there when we got back. He was doing his second tripsheet of the year. I logged my time in and then ran up to Sheetz and got gas and decided to try their chicken strips. I ran into Aunkst there and talked with her for a little bit and then headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and then read the paper while I watched All My Children on TV. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I then ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then left the house at 18:00 hours and headed up to the fire house for the festival meeting. The meeting was only to go over the prizes and to see what we needed to order. Bubba was down in the station working on the Engine, so me and LeeAnn decided to head on down to help him. He made some changes to the compartments on the Engine. First he added a strap on the back of the hose bed to hold the two nozzles of the cisco load in place. He then made a holder for the gas can and the Sawz-All in the back compartment. He then mounted the Equipment Cleaner Toweletts, folding shovel, small bolt cutters, medium size bolt cutters, broom handle, and the mirror. He then moved to the front top side compartment and he mounted the pry-axe and pike pole on the inside of the door. We then layed out the small pry bar and sledge hammer to be mounted later. Me, LeeAnn and Bubba then sat around and talked. I left the fire house at 12:10 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
