Yard Sale Rained Out
I went to bed last night around 01:00 hours and got up this morning at 05:10 hours when me alarm went off. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then grabbed something quick to eat for breakfast. I then grabbed my flashlight and then got in my car and headed into Sue's house. I dropped something in the mailbox at the Post Office and then continued out to her house. I got there and parked and sent her a text message like she told me to due about 20 minutes earlier. I then got out and went up to the front door and she let me in. I said hi to Eros and then she said she was going to take the bus back to the "Barn". So we went out and got in 13-1 and then headed into the shed. She backed it in and then went back into the office to log her time in. We then got in her car and headed up to Sheetz so she could get a cup of coffee. We then headed back to her house. She parked her car out on the street and then we got in the truck and headed over to Station 29 so she could borrow 3 tables for the yard sale. We got there and loaded them up in the back of the truck and then headed back to her house. SHe parked the truck out on the street and was going to have Bob take the GTO to work and Amanda take her Z to work so that they would not be on the street where they could get hit by people coming in. I then went inside and sat down in her living room. Both Bob and Amanada were up. Sue called up to Amanda and she came half way down the steps in a robe and had a towel on her head as she has just gotten out of the shower. She then went back up to get changed. Meanwhile me and Sue were talking about where we were going to start brining stuff out of the house and where we were going to set stuff up at. Bob then came down and left in the GTO. Sue then went upstairs and changed into shorts and sneakers and then camed back down, followed by Amanda. At this point the pager went off for an unknown problem in Halifax Borough. It took Bill and Dohn quite a long time to get out on the call. The three of us were then standing in the living room talking, when we heard Dohn on the radio calling County. I told Sue, "I bet you $5 bucks that he is going to ask for a medic". Well he asked for the fire department to be dispatched for medical assistance. Amanda was debating weather or not to go on the call with 29 as she had to get on her way to work. Sue said she was going to go to the scene and I said I was also and Sue told Amanda that it would probally take only 5 minutes at the most. So all three of us decided to go. As we ran out the front door I asked Sue if she wanted me to drive and she said we could take her car. Her and Amanda got down to her car and I asked her again if she wanted me to drive as I had just realized that when she brought me home, she har a car seat and a booster seat in her back seat and the only way the three of us were going to fit in her car was if someone sat on someone's lap. Sue said yes since I had the blue light. So they ran up to my car, which was still locked and I followed behind. I unlocked the car and then unlocked the doors and quickly grabbed my fanny pack and scope and threw them on my dash. Sue got in the front passenegr's seat and Amanda got in the right rear passenger's seat. I then turned my blue light on and we took off. It was some interesting and very good driving by myself as we headed to the scene. We did not know where exactly they were and we ended up going past the Jelly Bean Junction which was where we were supposed to turn. I got turned around and went back and got to the scene. We grabbed gloves off of the unit and then Dohn came up to get a backboard and Amanda grabbed the CID's and we went into the house. The lady was upstairs in her bedroom. Bill and Dohn needed help getting her down the steep and narrow stairs on the backboard. Engine 29-1 got there and they decided to park out front as we had decided to take her out the front door. The Engine crew took the front door off of it's hinges and I moved 13-1 around front and parked it in front of the Engine. 6-5 then got there and it had Ron and Zack on. We eventually got the lady out while Amanda helped direct traffic. After they left for the hospital, we walked back up to my car and then I headed back to Sue's house. As we were heading back, it started to rain out and it did not look like it was going to stop. Once back Amanda left for work and me and Sue went inside. She did a few things around the house as we had decided that we would not be able to have the yard sale since it was raining out. Me and Sue then pulled the matteress out of the basement so we would have some working room in the basement. Sue's neighboor's then came over and with there help we put a dent in the amount of stuff that she had in her basement. We got a fair amount out and then we decided to stop so that we could go through and sort and price the stuff. By this time Kim had showed up and Sue's neighboor's left. The three of us then went through stuff and then we went through the huge pile of clothes that we had brought up and just stacked on the couch. We then went back down in the basement to go through some more stuff. Kim then had to leave and Sue had to go take a shower as she was going on at 14:00 hours. So Kim left and Sue went up to get a shower. As she got in, Bill pulled up and I went outside to talk to him since she was in the shower. I talked to him for a little bit and then the rain started to pick up again and he left as I headed inside. Sue was up on her computer as she had just gotten out of the shower. We then talked about going to get something to eat. Her neighboor then came back over and talked for a little bit and then after she left, we decided to go up to Pizza Delight and grab a few slices of pizza. We decided to take separte cars since Sue was now on duty. She had to make a quick stop at the Halifax National Bank, so she told me to just head on up to Pizza Delight awhile. Sue also invited Bill to come have a late lunch with us. So I got there and parked and then Sue showed up and we went inside and ordered awhile. I got the one special which was two slices of pizza and a drink. Bill then showed up and got the same special and the three of us ate and talked. We then all left around 16:20 hours. Me and Sue headed back to her house. When we got back there, we unloaded the tables from the back of the truck and put them in the garage, and then went back inside. Sue then got back on the computer to check a few thigns and then we sat down in the living room and talked. We then moved out to the dinning room/kitchen was she had to feed Eros. Amanda then got home and started to go through some of the things that we had set aside for her to go through. Bob then got home and then Sue had to leave to do a stand by at the football game tonight. She gave me a big hug and thanked me for all the help I gave her today and thanked me for sticking it out and being there so early, even though it rained. I then hugged Amanda goodbye and then left and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then had a snack. 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.
