No Calls During Stand-By

I went to bed Friday night around 01:00 hours and got up at 06:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed. Once my father finished getting ready, we left the house around 06:40 hours and headed up to the fire house. We got there and LeeAnn was the only person there so far. I went up to Kenny's house and got him up. Bubba then came up, then Troy, then Kenny came down and then Robby and Tandee. We then figured out who was going with who and we loaded our gear into each truck. Kenny and Bubba went with Robby and Tandee. Myself, my father and LeeAnn went with Troy. We left the station around 07:00 hours and headed on into town. We stopped at Shell so both Robby and Troy could get fuel. Then we turned around and went back to Denny's Lennies for breakfast. I had 2 pancakes, a side order of back on and a side order of white toast. Once we were done, we headed on down to Upper Frankford Fire Company. Once we got on the highway, Robby took off and we never caught up with him. When we got to the station, they were all sitting outside of the station and all the doors were down. We got there and unloaded our gear and Bubba said that the Chief was not there yet. He finally showed up and opened the station up and we got to see the new engine they got last Friday. It is a very nice engine. He then took the new engine to the super raffle and we setteled in. I looked at the two photo albums in the day room while a few of the others watched TV and the others took a nap. When Bubba woke up he said to me about pulling their old engine out that they have for sale so I could take pictures of it and all the compartments. I rode on the tailboard as it had one of those buzzers on the back that signals the person in the cab. We then backed it in and then we ate lunch. They had gotten us a meat and cheese tray, and chips. I had 4 ham and cheese sandwichs with chips. Robby then hooked up their Wii and we played then until we ate dinner around 19:20 hours. That was really fun. We played bowling first, then racing, then baseball, boxing, golf, and then a game called carnival games. Sometime in there we ordered dinner. I had a 12 inch cheese pizza and a large order of fires. Also during lunch it started to pour down rain, and that lasted for about 1 hour then it stopped, and then it got hot out. After lunch I moved the portable fan from the kitchen up into the day room since there was no air conditioning in the day room. Bubba also had me take pictures of the kitchen and then funnel cake building. We could not find the key for the kitchen in the pavillion outside. We then pulled the one engine out so we could get out picture taken in front of it for the website. They then got back around 20:45 hours. We got a few more pictures of the new engine and the chief showed us the light tower and deck gun. We then loaded our gear up and headed on back to the station. We got back around 22:30 hours and we put our gear inside and then everybody left and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and decided to lay down on my bed until 23:00 hours and then I was going to download the pictures from my camera. Well I ended up falling alseep and woke up when my mother came in and woke me up. She had already taken my glasses off and put them away. I then went to bed around midnight. I got up this morning around 11:45 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then ate lunch and read the paper. I then watched the race from New Hampshire Raceway. Kurt Busch won under a rain delay as they called hte race with 18 laps to go due to the rain. I then ate dinner while I did a few things online. 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.
