Last Minute Call

I went to bed Thursday night around 02:00 hours and got up at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off, I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my camera and suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my breakfast and hot dogs and buns and then got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:30 hours and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I got up there and parked and went inside and put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. I then put my suitcase behind the one couch and saw that both Yeager and Tracey were awake. I then clcoked in and they both got up. Tim then came in and the 4 of us talked for a little bit and then they both left. I then did a rig check on 6-7 and told Tim that I had brought hot dogs up with me to do on the grill and I just needed to get burgers and buns from Wal-Mart then at some point in the day. He then checked his gear and then I got on the fire company's computer since the internet on our computer is still not working. I played some Texas Hold'Em on the computer. Around 10:30 hours the tones went off for a call in Northumberland County. Jim took that in the squad. Then around 12:30 hours Tim said he had to run down to Wal-Mart to make a money order out. So we got in 6-7 and headed on down to Wal-Mart. Once we got down there he went to do his money order and I went and got 4 angus burgers, some buns, cheese, and a bag of chips and then we headed over to McDonald's and I grabbed 5 chicken strips, fries and a drink to eat for lunch and we headed back to Lykens. Once there I put in the disc and we watched two episodes of Season 4 of Emergency. After we were done watching them, I got back on the computer and played some more poker while Tim worked on his charts from Tuesday night. Then around 18:00 hours I went outside and started the grill up and made the hot dogs and cheeseburgers. We then went inside and ate dinner while Tim watched TV and I played some more poker. Then around 19:20 hours the tones went off for ALS to meet Northumberland Ambulance 62 at Koppy's in Eville for pain management, and Jim took that in the squad and went to Harrisburg Hospital. Then around 21:00 hours, I put the disc back in and we watched another episode of Season 4 of Emergency. After we were done watching that, Tim went back to working on his charts and I watched Dirty Jobs on TV. Tim left to head home around 00:20 hours. I then laid down in bed and went to sleep. Then around 00:47 the tones went off for a call in Elizabethville Borough. I reset the pager and went back to sleep. Naturally I woke up a few times during the night to go to the bathroom. The around 07:43 hours the tones went off for breathing problems in Williams Township. I called Tim and told him and he said that he was standing outside. I told him I would open the bay door in a minute. I the quickly got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then grabbed my pack and opened the bay door and got in 6-7 and went responding. We got up there and once 24 got the lady loaded up I moved Tim's gear over to 24-2 and then I headed on back to Lykens. Once I got back John and Kuntz were already there. I got my stuff together and gave John the rig report, talked to Kuntz for a little bit and then left and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I then got up this afternoon around 12:34 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then changed into old street clothes and headed up to the fire house to do some work in the old firehouse. I got up there and opened the old fire house up. I them moved some of the stands out of the way so I could get underneath and sweep and go through the wood there. I took a few pieces out to beside the old fire house that are not good any longer. I then swept up and put everything back. I then went through the box of wires that I brought down from Medic 6. I then went through the two pillow cases that had stuff in. I then closed up and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am now eating dinner. I am then 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.
