Computer Problems
I went to bed last night around 01:30 hours and got up this morning ta 06:30 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes and then ate breakfast. I then left the house at 07:05 hours and headed up to the fire house. I got there and parked and went inside and put my books in the Utility and then grabbed my gear and out my gear in the Utility also. I then pulled the Engine out, then pulled the Utility out, and then backed the Engine in. I then left and headed into town. I stopped at Shell and got an Orange Drink and a bottle of Gatorade. Troy was also there and he got his truck back. I then left Shell and headed on down to HACC. I got there and parked and went inside. We had lecture in the morning and we broke for lunch at 11:00 hours. I went to Pizza Hut again and ate lunch and then left there and went back to HACC. We did vent holes on the roof simulator. We had to make our first 3 cuts with a chain saw, and then the last two cuts using an axe. The axe really took a lot out of me. After we were done with the roof simulator, we switched groups and went oveer with Tom and we went over Possitive and Negative Pressure fans and how to set both up, and then we practiced setting both up. Now keep in mind we did all of this in the rain/snow/sleet and did not really complaing, except for it being so cold. We then cleaned up and I put my gear back in the Utility and headed on home. I stopped at Station 29 to talk to Tom about HACC and the county association. Troy and Helen then stopped to Troy could drop off some of the plywood he had. We got talking to Tom and ended up being there for a little over 1 hour. I then left and headed back to the station. Once back at the station, I pulled the Engine out, backed the Utility in and then backed the Engine in. I then hung my gear up and grabbed my books and got in my car and headed on home. I had a heache that felt like someone was hitting my head with a hammer by the time I got home. I have a high suspcision that it came from all the carbon build up in the burn building that we went through when we did the fan practical. My computer has been acting up and restarting while I am in the middle of doing things. So I am taking it to NAS tomorrow to have them look at it and possibably put a new hard drive in it. Around 20:59 hours, the fire pager went off to assist PSP with a tree removal on Rutter Road. I got dressed and went outside and saw that it was snowing out and it was laying on the roads and the vehicles. I got up there and parked. Ray had pulled in right before me. I ran inside and kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on and then grabbed my jacket and helmet and went out to the Engine. Bubba had already pulled the Engine out and I got in the officer's seat. LeeAnn had pulled in also and her and Ray got in the back. Jason then pulled in and he quick ran inside and got his gear and then jumped in the Engine and we took off. It ended up being a bunck of bambo trees that the weight of the snow was causing to sag over the road. Well we ended up cutting down a fair amount of them before we headed back to the station. Once back at the station Troy an Ray cleaned the saws up and put fuel in them and then we put them away. I left up there around 23:10 hours as myself, LeeAnn and Bubba had hung around to shot the shit. I am soon going to bed as I am tired and have to get up tomorrow to take my computer to NAS.
