The Look on their Faces

I went to bed Monday night around 02:00 hours and woke up Tuesday morning around 11:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played some Indiana Jones till 13:40 hours. I then changed into old street clothes and headed up to the fire house to work on the Utility. I got up there and the Tanker bay door was open. I went in and pulled the hose down and started rolling it and then Bill pulled in and we talked while I rolled the rest of the hose. I then pulled the old Cairns SCBA's out to clean them up and get pictures of them to post them on Centralpafire. Bill helped me clean them up and get them ready to have pictures taken. I then went to work on the back of the Utility. I pulled the packs out and wiped them down and the brackets down also. I also pulled the 2-1/2" hose out and wiped down in there and put the hose back. I wiped down the portable generator and the portable pump. I also wiped down the spanner wrenchs and the fire extinguishers. I then climbed up and and fixed the spill pig and made sure all the cribbing was in place and I put the hose clamp back up on the second shelf. I then made sure the two spades and the 3 pitch forks were in place and not going to fall out. I then saw Bubba go by in a Rockville Maryland truck and head down to the house. I then heard a loud noise down at his place and went down to see what he was doing. He was using a jack hammer to break up the blacktop in his parking spots so he could get the post. Bill then left on a call. Me and Bubba then went back up to the station and he showed me a few things and called hte one lady back about a pool fill. He asked me if I wanted to go with him to fill the first pool and I said I could but I had to be back to the station no later then 17:30 hours so I could get ready to go to work. He ran up to the restroom and I put my gear in the Tanker and then put his gear in the Tanker and then helped him put his pool fill pip on the Tanker. As we pulled out, Troy pulled in and Bubba said to me that he had a second pool to fill after the one we were going to do that Troy was going to go with him on it. I said that if Troy wanted to go that was fine was I could then head home and get ready for work awhile. So I took my gear out and Troy put his gear in and then they left. I then closed the Tanker door and the top panel started to bend and the door did not go all the way down. I hit the stop button and played with it for a little bit. Lonny then pulled in and asked if Bubba was here and I said that him and Troy had just left to fill 2 pools. The station phone then rang and it was someone looking for a pool fill. I took down the guys information and then called Bubba and told him and also told him about the Tanker door. I then left and headed on home. Once at home I ate dinner and then got ready for work. I changed into my uniform and grabbed my camera and suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then grabbed my Gatorade bottle and then left around 19:05 hours and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at Tower Mini Markets and grabbed something to snack on and a half gallon of Guers Orange Drink. I then headed to the station. I got there and parked and went inside and 6-4 was gone. I clocked in and checked the supplies and a few things online. Tim and John then got back. I then did a rig check on the 6-4 and then me and Tim sat down to watch Gallagher on DVD. We then ran up to Shell for Tim to get a pack of smokes and then back to the station. Once back, Tim hooked up his Xbox for me to play GTAIV while he worked on his charts from the day. He then left around 00:30 hours and headed on home for the night. I watched Deadlist Catch and then played some more GTA IV. I went to sleep around 03:00 hours and woke up at 07:35 hours when the tones went off for a call in Millersburg. Beef took that call with the squad. Shultz then came in and then Tindell came in and the four of us talked for about 30 minutes and then I left and headed on down to the Eville station. I got there and went through supplies and then put supplies away. I then helped Steve with the big boy stretcher and then I left around 10:00 hours and headed on home. Once at home I changed into street clothes and then read the paper. I then ate lunch while I did a few things online. I then got on the PS2 to play some Indiana Jones. I got off at 17:00 hours and ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. At 18:30 hours I left and headed up to the fire house. LeeAnn, Troy and Lonny's cars were there. Lonny and Troy were down at Bubba's house and LeeAnn came out of the hall. Kenny then came down and then my father showed up. Bill came in and Bubba came up and then Lonny and Troy came up. Robin then came up and we all left around 19:15 hours and headed up to the township building. I think everything went fine with the meeting and we should have the letter of support from the township. We then headed back to the station and myself, Bubba, Kenny, LeeAnn and Bill stayed and shot the shit while LeeAnn typed something up for Bubba. We all left around 21:30 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower 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.
