Promoted to MICU

I went to bed Saturday night at 02:30 hours and got up Sunday morning at 07:00 hours when my alarm went off. I ate breakfast and read the comics. I then changed into my uniform and grabbed my suit case and Gatorade and headed up to Eville for my 24 hour shift. I got there and Tim and Jim were there. Tim was going off and Jim was coming on. I went in and clocked in and then did my rig check on 6-3. When I finished my rig check, it was now 08:10 hours and no one else had come in yet. When I went back to the day room, I heard Jim tell Tim that he was going to run it by the Supervisior to see what Tindell thought. I asked Jim if it was just him and me all day and he said yes and that I had been promoted to the MICU for the day shift. Jim then called Tindell and told him that he only had me and was going to use me on the MICU for the day. Jim then said he was going to Subway for breakfast. So we got in 6-3 and I drove him up to Subway to get breakfast. I got a wrap and chocolate milk. The Lykens Crew never came down for breakfast. Jim then did some shopping and picked up a few things and then we headed back to the station. Tim was gone by the time we got back. We were there for maybe 30 minutes when around 09:30 hours the tones went off for near syncope in Jordon Township, Northumberland County. We got up and started heading for the bay when the tones dropped again for an unconscious person in Spring Glen in Schuylkill County. The Lykens crew took that call and we took the call in Jordon Township. I told Jim that I did not know where I was going, so we looked at the map in the bay and he said we would go in through Klingerstown. I told him I knew how to get to Klingerstown, but once past there, I would be lost. So we went responding and I drove class 1 to the call in Jordon Township. Dalmatia Ambulance was the BLS truck. We got there and Jim ended up going along with Dalmatia to Geisinger. I then went to Dalmatia's station and sat and waited for Jim to get back. I listened to the radio while I sat there. While I was sitting there, the tones dropped for a phcyatric patient in Washington Township. The Lykens crew got cancelled on the Schuylkill County call so they ended up taking that call. Jim finally got back and we headed back to the station. We got back and I helped him restock and then he started his chart while we both watched Columbo on TV. After Columbo was over, I decided to do the dished in the sink and then swept the carpet and then swept the tile floor. Jim then wiped down the kithcen table and then went back to his chart. I sat down and watched Matlock on TV. I then got on the computet to check a few things. Jim then asked me what I wanted to do for dinner, either run down to Giant and get a slab of meat to cook on the grill, or go up to Ahsley's Pizza. I told him it was up to him and he said he had not made up his mind yet either. At 16:30 hours, I asked him if he wanted to run down to Giant and he said no cause by the time we went down there and back and then cooked it on the grill, it would be time for him to go home, so we were going to go to Ahsley's Pizza for dinner. I asked him if he was ready and he just sat there and watched TV. Sue then called and I went out in the bay and talked to her for about 20 minutes. Her, Amanda, and Kim were on the way up to Big Diamond for the races. After I got off the cell with Sue, I went back in and asked Jim again if he wanted to run up to Ahsley's and this time he said yes. So we got in 6-3 and I ran him up to Ashley's. I got three slices of pizza, a bag of chips and a soda. When I pulled in to park, I saw a bolt of lighting up towards Lykens and told Jim to put his window up. While we were eating, the power flicked on and off an initial time. Then it started pouring outside. About 20 minutes after the initial power flicker, the power flicked off and on again, a second time and then the third time the power went off and stayed off for about 15 seconds and then came back on. We decided we better leave and head back to the station before we would not be able to get the unit in the station incase the power went out again. I ran out and got the unit and swung it around so that Jim could get in without getting wet. He got in and told me to go over to Wal-Mart because he wanted to pick up a poncho since it was raining out. We parked and ran inside and he got a poncho. He then paid for it and put it on to go out to the unit. While he was putting it on, I ran out to the unit and started it up. When he came out of Wal-Mart I almost died laughing at the sight of Jim in the poncho. We then went back to the station. We got back and he got on his laptop and I got on the computer to look at a few things. Scott Wertz and Bruce then came in for the night shift and Jim then left. Once Jim left, I got the trash together and took it out to the dumpster and then took the dumpster out front. After Bruce did his rig check and Wertz went over the ALS gear, they talked about going to Jo-Jo's to get something to eat since they did not have anything. We had made the decision that Wertz was going to run the Squad and me and Bruce were going to run a BLS truck. I got a Ham and Chesse Sub and a Sprite. We then went back to the station and I got back on the computer to check my email. I then went out to the day room around 23:00 hoursand laid down in the easy chair. I decided to try sleeping there last night to see how I slept. I fell asleep around 23:20 hours and slept until I woke up around 03:27 hours. I got up and went to the bathroom and as I walked back to the chiar, the tones went off for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township, with us in place of Company 20. Me and Bruce got in 6-3 and took off. Lanny went to the scene and before we got on the scene he asked for a medic due to blood sugar problems. Wertz went responding and we met him in the Millersburg Square. He rode down and we took the lady down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. We dropped Wertz off and then headed back to the station. We were almost back to the station when Wertz got hit for seizures in Upper Paxton Township. He went responding and we went back to the station. Once there, I did my chart and realized that Wertz had the buffer so I saved it until he got back. I then went out and laid down on the chair and fell asleep again. I woke up at 08:15 hours and Bruce had left, Tommy, Leia and Wendy were all there. I asked Tommy if Wertz was back yet and he said no. I then put my pillow away and took my suit case out to my car and went back inside. Wertz got back around 08:30 hours and I got the buffer sheet off of him and then finished my chart. I then clocked out and headed on home. Once at home I went to bed and slept until 13:30 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes and then ate lunch, read the paper and watched All My Children on TV. I then got on the computer to do a few things. My mother then came home and I told her about my shift and then I ate dinner while I watched TV. I then got on the computer and did the IS-800, IS-100, and IS-200 courses on line and passed them. I then took a shower and just finished eating a snack. I am now getting ready to check the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Busy Past Two Days

Went to bed Thursday night around 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bed at 04:40 hours when the pager went off for heart problems in Halifax Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed into the shed. I got there and parked and went inside and started 13-1. Carol then pulled in and then off we went. We got there and got the lady loaded up and took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed we heazded on back. We dropped the medic off at Sheetz and then stopped at Shell and got fuel for in the unit. We then headed back to the shed. Once at the shed I logged my time in and then did the paperwork. Once I was done I headed on home. Once at home I went back to bed and got up at 12:55 hours. I got out of bed and changed and then ate lunch, read the paper and watched All My Children on TV. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I went off duty at 15:00 hours due to going to Shade Mountain later that night. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer and watched MASH. I changed into street clothes and then headed up to the fire house around 19:00 hours. Once everyone got there we figured out who was going in who's car. In Robby's truck was, Robby, Tandee, Me, Jason and Lonny. In Bubba's car was Bubba, Robin, Helen and her friend. In Jess's car was Jess, Candy, LeeAnn and Troy. It was about a 45 minute to an hour drive to the bar. We got there and went inside and I got a Coors Light and then sat down at the table. Bubba and Jason started putting in songs for the Karoke. Helen then bought my next two Coors Lights since I won the bet that her and me made three weeks ago. The bet was she would buy me two drinks if I went along with them this weekend. Bubba then bought everyone a round. I then bought everyone a round which was not bad. $27.50 for 13 drinks. Lonny then bought the next round of drinks for everyone. I had a total of 6 Coors Lights over the course of the evening. Jess and Troy then bought 41 test tube shots of Bahama Mama and we each got three test tubes. I then sang Good Directions with Bubba and Troy and that was the only song I sang the whole night. We left there around 02:00 hours when the bar was closing and we got back to the fire station a little before 03:00 hours. We waited for Bubba and Robin to get back. Robby drove home, Robin drove Bubba's car home and Lonny drove Jess's car home. We talked to Bubba and Robin for a little bit and then I left the station around 03:15 hours. I ran over to Bill's house and dropped off his camera and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then I went to bed around 04:00 hours I believe it was. I got up this afternoon at 12:30 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and read the paper. I then got changed into my uniform. I grabbed the cooler from down stairs and put my Gatorade's in it and then headed up to the fire station. Jason was there and Robby and Tandee were finishing up washing the Tanker. Me and Jason put our gear in the back of the Utility. I then put ice in my cooler and then we left the station at 14:00 hours to headed on down to Berks County. We stopped at Shell and Robby picked up two bottles of water and then we contiuned on our way. We got down to Strausstown's station a little after 15:00 hours. We windexed the windshield's and put tire shine on thew tires. We finished doing that and then it started to rain. After it finished raining, we let the trucks dry and then 30 minutes before we left we wiped off any water that was left on the trucks. We then headed over Shartlesville to get judged. Tri-State did nthe judging and they were the ones we had at the Lebanon County Convention Parade. I was not to impressed with how they judged the Utility. We then went through the parade. It was a Lights and Sounds parade which basically means drive as fast as you can with your lights and sounds on. Helen and her family came down and we passed them when we came in for judging, and then twice during the parade, once on our way out and once on our way back to park. We parked and then headed on down to the fire house to get something to eat and drink and then wait for the awards. The Tanker took 2nd place for Best Appearing and Equipped Tanker/Pumper and we also took furthest distance traveled for the second year in a row, having come 70 miles. After we got our trophies, we headed back to the trucks and then we lit up the town with the lights and sirens and then headed on home. We stopped at Shell and got fuel and then headed back to the station. We got back to the station around 22:30 hours. We got our gear out and I put the cooler in my car and then we set two rows of tables up in the hall that Bubba had asked us to do. We all then left around 23:30 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to hit the sack as I am tired.

Another Quiet 12 Hours

I left the house at 19:30 hours last night and headed up to Eville. I stopped at Koppy's and picked up a half gallon of chocolate milk and then headed to the station. I got there and the parking lot was packed and I could not figure out why. I parked and went inside and Steve, Kathy, Carl, Tommy, Ron, Jim, and Zach were all sitting around the TV. They had a short board, KED board and a C-Collar out so I am assuming that they were doing some training. I sat my suitcase down and put my Gatorade and Chocolate Milk in the fridge and then clocked in. They finished up with training and then Carl ran Jim back up to Lykens. Flipper had not come in yet and it was around 20:15 hours, so I askek Steve where Flipper was and he said that he was already out on a call. I then emptied the trash cans while Kathy swept the carpet. Zach, Kathy and Steve then left and then me, Tommy and Ron went outside and talked for a little bit and then went back inside. Carl then came back and we sat around and watched some TV. The tones then dropped for an overdose in Williamstown Borough. Carl and Ron took that call. I watched TV for another 20 minutes and then got on the computer to do a few things. Flipper then got back and he did his chart and we talked for a little bit. I then laid down in bed around 23:05 hours to try and get some sleep. I did not get much sleep last night as I can not sleep on the matteress that they have up there as they are to thin and I can feel the springs in it. I got up this morning at 07:00 hours and put my sheet and pillow away. I then got on the computer to check the news for the morning. Bowser came in first, followed by Kahty and then John.

I ran up to Wal-Mart and picked up two bottles of Gatorade for the parade Saturday and a pack of hi-liters. I then headed towards home. My father had called me while I was at Medic 6 and asked me if I could stop at the Township Building and pick up a CD that County had sent there. So I stopped and picked up the CD and talked to Charlie for a little bit and then I headed on home. Once at home I talked to my mother for a little bit and then I went to bed to get a little more sleep. I then got up at 12:55 hours and got out of bed and got dressed and then ate lunch while I read the paper and watched All My Children on TV.

The pager went off around 15:20 hours for chest pains in Elizabethville Borough. I got my boots on and got in my car and headed to the church in Fisherville. 6-3 went responding and we were placed in service, so I went back home.

I then got my things together and headed up to Eville for my 24 hour shift. I stopped at Koppy's on the square and picked up a half gallon of chocolate milk and then headed to the station. I got there and Kathy pulled in behind me. John was the only person there as Stepler and the student were out on a call with Millersburg. Jim showed up next, followed by Tommy. I then did a rig check and then Jim headed up to Subway at Wal-Mart for breakfast. We then headed up abour 10 minutes later. I got a wrap and a bottle of organe juice and then sat down and ate it. The Lykens crew was there also and that was Dwayne and Tim. We were sitting around talking, when the tones dropped for a CVA in Jackson Township for just ALS. Jim got up and left and then we followed about 2 minutes later. We were on our way back to the station when Sue called my cell phone and asked me for directions to the scene. I gave her dircetions and she said that her and Amanda were taking it. She asked me who the medic was and I told her it was Jim and then we hung up with each other. We then got back to the station and we sat around and talked. Tommy was going to take me driving, but since Jim was gone, Millersburg was gone and both of Halifax's units were out, he decided to wait until 20 and 13 got back. 13 went available and we went out to drive around 11:30 hours. We ran back up to Wal-Mart and Kathy dropped off some pictures to be developed. We then went driving around Eville and then went to head up towards Lykens when the tones dropped for an ALS call in Jordon Township in Northumberland County. Jim went responding so we got rid of him for about 3 to 4 hours. We then went over to Gratz, then up to Williamstown and then back down to Lykens. We stopped at the Dairy Queen in Lykens and I got something to eat for lunch and then we headed on back to Eville. We stopped at Wal-Mart and Kathy picked up her pictures and then we headed back to the station. We got there and I backed the unit in and then we went back inside. Kathy and Tommy then sat down to play Guitar Hero on the PS2 and I watched them. John then came back in before he left for work and Kahty let me play against Tommy. The tones then went off for a call in Millersburg that needed ALS. The MICU from Lykens came down to handle that one was Jim was still on his way back from Geisinger. Jim then got back and restocked and then was relaxing in the day room when the tones dropped again for an ALS call in Upper Paxton Township. Jim left on the call. The tones then dropped again for breathing problems in Washington Township behind Wal-Mart. The MICU was coming down from Lykens for this call, and we headed on up since it is our response district. We got there and I did an evaluation and then the MICU showed up and they took him down to Holy Spirit and we went back to the station. We were there for about I would say 15 minutes when the tones dropped again for an extremity extrication at the Eville pool. We went back out and Tommy let me drive. I pulled the unit out and he went responding and county placed us in service as the layd got her hand out and did not want EMS. I backed the unit in and then did a chart for being cancelled.

A Slow Shift Again

Last night Scott Wertz called me around 18:05 hours and asked me if I could come in early. I told him I would be up there in 30 minutes. I got changed into my uniform and grabbed my suit case and drink and then headed on up to Eville. I stopped at Koppy's and picked up a half gallon of chocolate milk and then headed to the station. I got there and clocked in and Scott was there and Kathy and Tommy were on their way back from the Gratz Auction. Kahty left early and Scott put me and Tommy on the BLS truck for 1 and a half hours until the evening shift came in. At 19:45 hours the tones dropped for chest pains on South Crossroads Road in Washington Township. Tommy thought this was our call, when it was actually the Lykens Crew call. He decided that we would run to the scene to help. We got there and I got the guy in the back of the ambulance and got a blood pressure on him. Carl and Tim showed up and we switched trucks and headed back to the station. Stepler and the paramedic student were there and I talked to them. I then got on the computer to check my email and do a few other things. I then heard Sue and Kim get dispatched to Armstrong Street in Halifax Borough for chest pains. It was one of our frequent flyers again. Stepler and the student went in the Squad since he decided that Tommy and me would run the BLS truck for the night. They took the guy down to Harrisburg Hospital. Tommy then went to bed. Carl and Tim then came back to pick up 6-8 and take it back up to Lykens. I then backed 6-7 in and then went back into the office to wait for Stepler to get back. They got back and we talked and Sue answered my text messages. I then heard them get dispatched to an accident witn entrapment in Reed Township. Perry Medic 81 came over for it since it was close to the Clarks Ferry Bridge. They ended up flying the guy out since his foot was hanging just by the skin. I then went back to the bunk room to try and get some sleep. Bubba then called my cell phone around 01:45 hours and asked me what the call was for. I told him that I did not know as I was up at Medic 6 and did not have my pager on me at the moment. I then called Bill and asked him and he did not hear it. So I called Bubba back and asked him if he had found out and he said no. I then went back to bed until the tones dropped for a call in Lykens which Carl and Tim handeled. I went back to sleep again and then the tones went off again around 07:10 hours for a fall victim in Halifax Township. I heard Scott go responding rigth after they hit for us, so they cancelled us. I then got up around 07:30 hours and put my sheet and pillow away and then took my suitcase out to my car and then came in and grabbed my chocolate milk. I then got on the computer to check centralpafire.com and then sat around and talked with Kathy and John. I then left and headed on home. I ran up to the fire house to see what the call was and it ended up being a tree down in Mountain House Road. I then grabbed a patch to give to Stepler tomorrow morning and then headed on home. Once at home I talked to the parents for a little bit and then went to bed to try and get some more sleep. I was rocked out of bed at 11:55 hours when the pager went off for chest pains in Jackson Township on the street above me, another one of our frequent flyers. Scott and Carol took it, which made me happy. I then got dressed and then ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I then made and ate dinner while I was on the computer. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Cheer Up Day

Went to bed last night around 02:20 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 08:45 hours when the pager went off for a sick person in Wayne Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then Sue called my cell phone and I told her to pick me up at Reinhard's. I then got in my car and started in that way. She then called me back and said she would pick me up at Community Banks. I pulled in there and parked and got in 13-1 and off we went. We got there and it is someone from Company 29, so naturally the engine was there along with quite a crowd of people. We got him loaded and took him down to Holy Spirit Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on back. We dropped Wertz off at his squad at Station 29 and then went back to Sue's house. She took a shower and took care of a few things with Civil Service. We then ran up to Shell and got fuel and then she dropped me off at the bank where I picked up my car. I then headed back to the "Barn". Sue had headed there also. Once I got there I logged my time in and restocked the ambulance and changed the battery on the stretcher and then Scott showed up and the three of us ate lunch together in the kitchen as Viv had some leftover ham, roast beef and some other things. I then did my tripsheet and then Bill showed up. I then gave Sue an hour and a half back/neck massage and then I left around 15:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and am now getting ready to eat dinner and watch MASH on TV. I am working a 12 hour shift at Medic 6 tonight so I will not be on late tonight.

Moonlighting

Went to bed last night around 02:20 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 06:49 hours when the pager went off for back pains in Jackson Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then headed to the church in Fisherville to wait for Dohn to pick me up. It took Dohn forever to get into the "Barn" and once he got in there, he talked with MICU 6-3 and once he heard their location, he told them that they were closer and they could take it and we would stay in service. I went back home and went back to bed. I had the pager open so I could hear where 6 went and I heard them ask County to dispatch the fire department for lifting assistance. I quickly called Kim and asked her if she could cover for me until I got back so I could run the medical assist and she said yes. So I quickly changed clothes and ran up to the fire house and parked and went in the station. I turned the lights on and I heard the Engine start up and pull out. I got my bunker pants on and then grabbed my coat and helmet and went outside and got in the Engine and me and Bubba went enroute. Jason and Jean followed us out. We got there and helped 6 get the guy in the back of the ambulance and then placed the box in service. We then headed back and once there, we shot the shit, and then we all headed on home.

Straw Field Fire

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 11:17 hours. I got out of bed and read the paper. I then ate lunch while I got on the computer to do a few things. I then headed up to the fire house at 13:00 hours to wash the Engine. I got there and Kenny was coming down. Bubba then pulled in with the Tanker and Michelle dropped House off at the station and then left. I had Bubba pull the Engine out so we could start washing it. He then ran the tractor back down to Valley Ag and he had me follow him in the Utility so I could bring him back. On the way back, he noticed that the genarator 2 light had come on and when we got back, he had me pop the hood so he could look at the engine to make sure the belt was still on. He got doing something else and forgot about it until Helen moved the Utility to wash it. Bubba then took a look at it and we found out that one of the belts had broken off. He had me run it down to Heim's and they put a new belt on and were done with it in about 15 minutes and I ran it back up to the fire house. Once back I then put tire shine on the driver's side tires on the Engine while Helen and House washed the Utility. Helen and Kenny then headed up to Wal-Mart and then Troy showed up to start washing the Tanker. I then ran on home to grab something to eat. Once at home I had a sandwich and then changed shirts and shoes and then headed back up to the fire house. I got there and put my gear in the Engine and then my father showed up, followed by Robby, Jess, LeeAnn, and then Kenny came back down. Troy ran home and took a shower and changed clothes and came back and then we were only waiting on Helen to come down. While we were waiting, Halifax got dispatched to a straw field on fire. We said that we would not be going. After thier Tanker and Chiefs went responding and gave a report tones started dropping. We heard them re-dispatch for Engine and Brush 29, then hit Millersburg's tones, then ours and then Dauphin's. They asked for Attack 20, Brush 38 and our Tanker. Well before we found it they only wanted the Tanker, we all went running for our trucks. Robby and Troy took the Tanker and left and Robby asked county if only the Tanker was due and they said that the Engine was now due also. I told my father to get in and go and about that time the phone in the station began to ring. We later found out that it was Robby calling to tell my father to take the Engine since Jason was going to go to the scene. We took off and then saw Jason behind us coming. The Utility then went responding also. We got there and they had us stage and send all of our man power down to the field. Keith Pottiger told us to take hand tools and head on down to the field. The Utility was pulling in at that time and once they stopped we pulled the Indian Rakes off and headed on down to the field. They had us hit hot spots with the rakes while Attack 20 and Brush 39 wet down the preimeter of the burnt area. It burnt about 2 acres of straw before it was stopped. 29 then pulled their Tanker into the middle of the burnt part and me and Jason Faust helped them put tw 100' trash lines on the pump. Jason and Skip had the one off of the passengers side and me and Waylon had the one off of the driver's side and we both proceeded to wet down the remainder of the field. We then headed on back to the fire house and hosed down the trucks and headed on up to Klingerstown in hopes of catching the tail end of the parade, which we did not. We got there and I got something to eat and then we left there around 21:50 hours and headed on home. We all stopped at the Shell in Evile and got fuel and then headed on back. Once back at the fire house I unloaded my gear and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.

Me and my mother then got in her car and headed on down to our doctor appointments this morning. After we were done there, we stopped at the bank, A.C. Moore's and then headed on home. We stopped at Giant and picked up a few things and then continued on home. Once at home I read the paper and then ate lunch while I did a few things on the computer. I watched All My Children while I was on the computer. I then ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then headed up to the fire house for the meeting. I got there and Robby and his girl friend were there waiting for Bubba to get back from filling pools, so that they could take over. We then had the meeting and discussed what we were going to do about stands at both Halifax and Millersburg and we decided to do the Candy Wheel. After the meeting we all stood around and shot the shit. I then headed on home around 22:30 hours. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.

Festival Part 3

Went to bed Friday night at 03:00 hours and got up Saturday at 10:00 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then grabbed a pack of crackers to eat while my father took a shower. We then both got in my car and headed on down to Front Street in Harrisburg for Pump Primers. We got down there and parked and headed on over to River Front Park. There were more vendors and apparatus there this year then there was last year. We went through the vendors first and I bought post cards off of Pete and a book off of thw Pump Primers Association. My father got 3 old instruction manuals and a helemt for his car and a keychain for my mother. I then ran our stuff back over to my car and then we set out to take pictures off all of the apparatus. We both had a good time and talked to a lot of different people that we have not seen since the convention. We left there around 14:45 hours and headed on home. I stopped at Sheetz and got gas and then headed home. Once at home I changed shirts and shoes and then grabbed my orange drinks and my two batches of fudge and headed up to the fire house. I put my organe drink in the fridge of the fire house and tge fudge in the fridge in the hall and then helped Jason Faust fill up the well again with the Engine. We then ran into town and got fuel in the Engine and then filled the tank back up. We then headed back to the fire house. Once there I ran home and picked up the third batch of fudge and took it up to the fridge in the hall. We then started taking things out and setting things up for the last night of the festival. The last night went very well. I doubled my profit from the previous two nights, making $112.50 for the night, for a 3 night total of around $220.50. While they counted the money, we started tearing down the stands. We finished around 00:45 hours and then heard the 3 day totals and then started our party. I lost count of how many Coors Lights I had, but I think it was 8. I know I drunk called Alf, Sue and Amanda. I talked to Alf and left messages on Sue and Amanda's cell phones. I know I ended up upchucking in the toilet again and passing out in the bathroom again. I woke up around 05:30 hours to find Bubba mopping up my vomit and LeeAnn was there also. I cleaned up the vomit I got on the bathroom wall and then slowly got up as I was still a little drunk. LeeAnn was originally going to drive me home, but we thought my parents would hear us, so she decided to follow me home. I went outside and laid down on the ground outside. It was then that I realized that my hearing aid was missing. I went back inside to look for it, but was still drunk that I could not find it at the time. Bubba told me to come back up later on in the day and look for it. I went home and went straight to bed. I got up around 11:45 hours and got changed into street clothes and ran up to the fire house to look for my hearing aid. I found it in the bathroom by the stack of chairs that I passed out beside. I then went down to the fire hosue and grabbed the bottle of Windex and cleaned off the windows of my car since they wrote on them last night. While I was doing that, I got sick and went behind the old fire house and vomited up the water that I had drank before coming up to the fire house. I then headed on home and dad asked me if I was ready to head to the County re-org meeting and I said I had to take a shower first. He got pissed and left. I had mom call him and get me directions while I took a shower. I left the house around 12:40 hours and headed on up to Lykens. I pulled over below Wal-Mart and vomited up the bottle of water that I had drank while in the car. I decided to continue up to the meeting. I got there around 12:59 horus. I parked and headed on over and sat down beside Brad and my father. We ate first and I only had a bottle of Orange Gaotrade since I was not sure if I could keep any food down. The meeting went good and I left as soon as it was over and headed on home. Once at home I had mom bring a bucket up and put in my room incase I got sick again and I went back to bed and slept off and on until 22:30 hours. I got up and had a sandwich and am now checking my email and soon going to go to bed as I am still tired.

I put my drinks in the fridge in the fire house and then the fudge in the cooler in the hall and then hanged the bingo sings up in the hall. I then went out and started pulling the deflated ballons off of the balloon dart stand and decided to pull out all of the old staples. After we were sure it was not going to rain we decided to start taking stuff outside. Halfway through the night, Helen came out to Jason Faust and told him that we had no water pressure in the hall. After Jason and Dave did some checking, we found out thaty we ran our well dry. By that time Matt Faust had showed up and he had Jason move the Engine down to the front of the station and he hooked the garden hose in the station up to the Engine and somehow back flushed water into the hall for them to use. We finished out the night making less money then we did last year, and our well dry. Matt and Andy dug up the well cap and they put the rest of the water from the Engine in the well for tonight and plan on doing it again tomorrow sometime. I had a $55.25 profit on my stand, so I have broken $100.00 so far for the festival. I left there around 00:45 hours and headed on home.

I then took my mothers fudge up and put it in the fridge in the hall. I then grabbed the drill and put my wheel up and put my board on the stand. I then did the board for the cake wheel. I put the drill away and then grabbed the Windex and cleaned up the Dice Wheel boards and then went into the hall and cleaned up the wheel. I then went out and hanged up the signs on the stands. House and Jason were there by then as was Bill. I had House and Jason help me set up the Dime Pitch, Fish Bowl Game and the Soda Pitch. We then moved two tables out and I put the signs on them. Then a guy from Love 99 pulled up and asked for Bubba. I told him that he was at work and then he explained that he was there to talk to some of us since they had given us 6 air time spots for the night. I told him that I would call R0bin and then she came up and talked to him. He interviewed her first, and then he interviewed me, and then after me Helen. After I was done with him. I went back to setting some things up. After about 15 minutes, I decided to sit in my car and listen to Love 99. I had turned the radio on just at the right time, as 30 seconds after I turned it on, I came on the air. I listened to me talk and then went back to work. We got things all set up and I got into my stand and business was slow at first. Then around 19:30 hours, I heard Andy's pager open up and heard the pre-dispatch for a cardiac arrest on Creek Drive. I started taking my money bag off and threw it in the cash box and dove out under the front of the stand. I got halfway down to the station when I felt for my cell phone and did not feel it. I quickly ran back to the stand and found it laying in front of the stand. I picked it back up and put it in my pocket and then ran back down to the station. I kicked my shoes off and got in my bunker pants and then grabbed my jacket and helment and ran up to the Engine. Lonny drove, Jason was on the officers seat. I was behind Lonny, LeeAnn was next to me and Dave Warfel was in the right jump seat. We got there and my father was there along with Charlie and Michelle Biksing. We pulled in and the ambulance was right behind us. The lady was not in cardiac arrest and never was in cardiac arrest, she was just unconscious. Sue and Amanda were on the bus and we helped them load the lady up and then we left and headed back. Once back at the station, I got my shoes back on and then went back up to my stand. By that time the crowd had picked up. We started closing up around 21:50 hours as the crowd was thining out. After we got everything in, they sat down to count the money. My candy wheel made $53.00 and overall we made $270 some dollars more then we did last year. I then headed on home around 00:05 hours.

We were the transporting rig for the day since Jim was on by himself down at Eville. We got there and it ended up being a refusal. We then headed back to the station. We were not in the station for about 5 minutes when the pager went off again for breathing problems in Lykens Borough. We got back in the unit and went down the street. We got the guy loaded up and headed on down to Hershey Medical Center. Tindell ended up putting the guy on CPAP. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. We stopped at the Eville station and restocked the unit and I had Tindell put my time in for next week. We then headed back up to the Lykens station. We got back there and Tindell put the crock pot on and then they went back to playing the Xbox. Matt then went to do a few things after we ate and then me and Tindell played. I clocked out at 20:07 hours and then headed on home. I swung by the fire house and picked up the June stats for the website and talked to LeeAnn for a little bit and then headed on home. Once at home I told my parents how it went and then I took a shower. I just finished eating a snack and am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Getting Ready for Festival

Went to bed last night at 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning at 06:10 hours when the pager went off for a headache in Upper Paxton Township at the Manor at Susquehanna Village. 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 went inside and got in 13-2 and off we went. There were 3 different patients going to a hospital at MSV. As we pulled in, Millersburg and the one medic from 6 were just leaving, so we backed in. While we were inside, Williamstown and the other paramedic from 6 came in. We got the lady loaded and then I drove her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. Once back at the shed, I logged my time in and then headed on home. Once at home I ate breakfast and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things. Then around 12:45 hours the pager went off for seizures in Reed Township. I got my boots on and then got in my car and headed to Carol's house. I got there and parked and got in 13-2 and off we went. It ended up being a refusal and I then drove back to Carol's house. I got my car and then headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch. I went off duty at 14:00 hours and me and my mother got in her car and headed up to Eville. We stopped at Medic 6 first and I picked up 3 t-shirts. We then headed to Wal-Mart and I got an outfit for the Wedding this Saturday. We then headed on home. Once at home I got back on the computer. I then ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then headed up to the fire house for the meeting tonight. We decided to get the candy for the candy wheel from Wal-Mart. After the meeting was over, we rearranged the hall for the festival and then started getting things down from the cabinet in the fire house and we got the stands out from the old fire house. Me and LeeAnn then headed up to Wal-Mart to get the candy. We ended up getting $81.96 worth of candy. We then headed back to the fire hosue and put the candy in the cooler in the hall. I then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to go to bed as I am tired.

Party Part 2

Went back to Troy's part last night and this time I had 10 Coors Lights and a Yeager Bomb. I got to see some breast also last night. I was flashed once and then I let the one girl use my cell phone and when I handed it to her in the pool, she was nude and I got an eyeful. She then asked me to get her a towel for when she got out and I met her over by the steps and she got out fully naked beside me :). I had a good time once again. Robby and Joey came tonight and Jason came back up so I had quite a few people to talk to again. I drunk called Alf, Kim and Sue all in one shot and then Bubba. Sue told me that Amanda was sleeping, so I did not call her. I left there around 01:15 hours and headed on home. Once at home I went straight to bed. I got up this morning at 10:30 hours cause my dad was using the weed wacker outside of my window. I got changed into street clothes and then ate lunch and read the paper. I then grabbed my dad's saw and headed up to the fire house to work on the board for the new stand we are doing at the festival. I got up there and Helen and Kenny were working on the bushes in front of the hall and then Helen mowed the grass. I cut the board down to size and then pianted it red and then put white stripes on it. LeeAnn then stopped by with her younger sister Amanda and some baby animals that she has to take care of during the night from Lake Tobias. She then ran her sister home and then came back and helped me finish the stripes and then paint the nunbers on the board. I then left there around 19:40 hours and headed on home. I am now finishing dinner and them am going to go take a shower. Once I get out I will hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
