Lost Mudflap
I went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 10:30 hours. I got out of bed and read the paper. I then ate lunch and then got on the PS2 and played some Indiana Jones. Bubba then called the house around 12:45 hours and asked if I was busy. I told him no. He asked me if I wanted to go with him on a pool fill and I said I would be up in five minutes. I changed into old street clothes and then headed up to the fire house. I got there and Bubba asked me if I would mind if Jaz went along with us and I said no. I then put my gear in and Bubba told me to grab another section of 2-1/2" and put on the truck. We then got in the Tanker and headed up to Eville. We stopped at Swab's first so Bubba could check on the truck from Rockville he has to take back down Friday. We then stopped at Kratzer's and picked up supplies to work on the trucks for convention. We then dropped one load in the pool. The guy from Duncannon then called me about picking up the SCBA's today instead of tomorrow. I said that was not a problem as we would be back by then. We then headed over to a guy's place that Bubba knows, who has an old milk tanker he keeps water in that is feed by a spring off of the mountain. He told Bubba that if we ever need to fill up on water while in Eville we could use it. Well we got back there and he has been doing som digging in there and we could not get back to the pipe. Well with it raining and the ground being soft, we kind of sank in some as we turned around. Somewhere in the process, we ripped the right rear mud flap off. We got turned around and then had to stop and Koppy's as Bubba's blood sugar was dropping and he had to get some food in him. I grabbed a soda and something to munch on and then we headed into the pump house to fill up. We then took the second load up and dumped that. We used Bubba's pool fill pipe and it works extremly well. I like it as it is less work and wear and tear on us. We then headed back to the pump house. We dropped Jaz off at Kiner's with her father and then continued into the pump house. We filled up and then headed up to Shell to get fuel and then headed back to the station. The guy from Duncannon was there and he picked up the packs and the two spare cylinders and then left. Bubba then said about running back up to Eville to look for that mud flap and then dropping him off at Swab's so he could pick that truck up and take it home. So we got in the Utility and headed on up through. We stopped at Shell and got gas for the can on the Utility and the station can. We then went back up to this guy's place and found the mud flap and then I dropped Bubba off at Swab's and followed him back to the station. Once there I backed the Utility in and put my gear back in my stall and locked the station gas can up and then headed on home to eat dinner. Once at home I had two cheeseburgers and then headed back up to the station at 20:00 hours. Jess, Troy and Martha were standing in Bubba's parking area talking. I went down there and talked with them and then went up to the house and sat and talked with Troy, Robin and Jess while Bubba worked on the front gate. He finished and then Robin and Jess ran into town to pick up Jaz and bring her home. Bubba then backed the Tanker in and we noticed that he white lights on the light bar were flashing. I said something to Bubba and he said he did not know why they were doing that and that it just started. I then helped him take the other mud flap off so he could take it up to Swab's tomorrow and have them get us two new ones. I then did my weekly med checks on the truck and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
