The Marathon Begins

I went to bed Tuesday night around 01:00 hours and was woke up around 06:57 hours when my brother sent me a text to listen to Wink 104 at 07:10 hours. So I got out of bed and turned the radio on and he had put my birthday in on Wink 104. I then got dressed and grabbed my camera and suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:30 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I got there and parked and then went inside. I put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge and put my suitcase by the couch. I then clocked in and did a rig check on 6-8. Jim them came in and then Tim came in. I then ate breakfast while I filled out my forms and then checked a few things online. I then went over date checks on some of the supplies in the ALS room. Steve then asked me and Tim to work on a power point for training tonight so he would not have to make copies of the handout. We splint the paperwork in half and each did a half. I got one slide done and then Jim came in and wanted to go one to a nursery outside of Millersburg to look for stones for his new pond. We got there and he got to see what he was looking for and then we headed back to the Subway in Eville. We got there and then Tim and Steve showed up. Just as I was getting out of the rig, the tones went off for an accident with injuries in Lykens Township. Jim said that it was thje Lykens Crews call, but we would head up anyways to give them a hand. Well we ended up being the first ambulance on the scene. I got a refusal on the one and we ended up taking the lady from the other vehicle up to Evan in Lewisburg. After we got what we needed there we headed on back. We stopped at KFC and I got some chicken strips to eat and Jim got something to eat and then we headed on back. Jim had me stop at Koppy's so he could get more food to eat and then we headed back to the station. Once there I restocked the unit and then finished the power point presentation. I then did my refusal and then it was time for the staff meeting. We ended up doing the training first as we had a State Trooper from the Lykens Barriacks there. It was supposed to last 15 minutes, but ended up lasting almost two hours. We then had the staff meeting afterwards and we ended up breaking that up around 21:00 hours as it was getting late and a lot of people had to be leaving to get on home. Then, myself, Wertz, Kathy, Tim and Steve S. shot the shit for awhile. Then Steve S. left and then Kathy and Wertz left and headed back up to Lykens. Tim then said about heading up to Wal-Mart. I put my stuff in 6-8 and then reminded Tim to grab his scope and clipboard and then got in 6-8. Once he got in I pulled out and then I saw out of the corner of my eye in the mirror a flash and sparks and the plug was pulled off of the end of the cord. I stopped the unit and we went back in and was looking at it when the tones went off for a fainting in Halifax Township. We got in 6-8 and off we went. We got down there and 13-2 was already there and Scott and Amanda were already in the house. I helped them get the lady loaded up and then they headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. I then ran up to Wal-Mart and got a plug tester and some electrical tape and then stopped at Koppy's to get something to drink. I then headed back to the station and went to work on getting the wires back on the plug. I got them back on and tested it and I had it wired correctly. I then picked up the silver back cover and noticed that it had to go on first. So I had to tear everything apart and then Scott sent me a text that they were leaving Harrisburg Hospital. So I got back in 6-8 and headed on down to Sheetz and then 13-2 got there a few minutes later. I then helped moved equipment over and then we headed on back to Eville. Once we got back, Tim went to work on the cord and in 1-1/2 hours he had it fixed. While he was doing that, I restocked his gear and swept the carpet and then did my second chart from the accident. It was now around 03:00 hours. Someone (I think Kathy) had left their PS2 their with Guitar Hero II in it. So I got on that and was playing that when Tim came out and said about watching the last episode of Season 3 of Emergency. I said ok and we watched it. I then showed him the disk that has the bloopers on it. I finally went to sleep around 05:10 hours. The tones then went off around 05:57 hours for seizures in Eville Borough. I got up and got my boots on and got everything back on my belt and then got in 6-8 and off we went. Kathy called me and said that it was her nephew. We got there and got the kid loaded up and took him down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at Dunkin Doughnuts so Tim could get a cup of coffee and I got two doughnuts to eat on the way home. Once back at the station I got my stuff together and and then filled out my time sheet and then clocked out and headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I got up at 13:00 hours. I got out of bed and changed into old street clothes and then ate lunch and read the paper. I then emptied the trash cans and then called the lady at Health American. I then got my tool kit and headed on up to the fire house to continue to work on getting scrap together for Saturday. Bubba was there when I got there and we talked for a little bit and I did my med bag checks on the rigs. I then went over and worked on the portable generator, window and door, and suction hose. I am going to work on the hardware for the old door tomorrow. I then closed up shop around 18:45 hours. Bill was there earlier but head to leave for an accident in Halifax Township. He then came back and then LeeAnn also showed up. I headed on home and once at home I just finished eating dinner. As I pulled into the driveway, Tab called me and said she had to cancel tonight do to a family emergency. I am now running up to help Troy move a fridge around and then am coming home to take a shower and then am going 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.
