PIllow Parade

I went to bed last night around 03:30 hours and woke up this afternoon around 12:45 hours. I got up and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then changed into old street clothes and headed up to the fire house to wash the Utility for the Pillow Parade tonight. I pulled the Engine out and then pulled the Utility out. I then got the brushed and a bucket and put soap in it. I then got the pressure washer out and got the gas can off of the Utility and put gas in it. I then hooked the hose up and washed the Utility. I then took a quick break before washing the trailer. I then pulled the trailer over in front of the bays and washed that up. I then took another break before doing my next thing I wanted to do. I then put tire shine on the Utility wheels and the wheels of the trailer. I then found the netural on the four wheeler and pushed it out as Robby was coming across the front lawn. He asked me if I wanted to hook the trailer up to the Utility or not. I told him I wanted to quickly wash the four wheeler off and then we could hook the trailer up. I quickly washed it off and then we moved the trailer around and then I backed the Utility up and hooked the trailer up to it and then pushed the four wheeler on to the trailer. I then moved the Utility down to the lower lot and then backed the Engine in while Robby pulled the Tanker out to wash it. I helped him wash it. Troy then pulled up and he strapped the four wheeler down and got the tickets out. I then got the signs from the hall and put them in the back of the Utility. I then put the station gas can in the back of the Utility and then my gear. I then headed on home. Once at home I quickly changed into my Fisherville t-shirt and got one of my Fisherville hats and then headed back up to the station. Once there I went into the station and grabbed a bottle of water. I then shut the Engine bay door and Troy shut the Tanker bay door. Jess then came up and LeeAnn showed up. We then left around 18:00 hours to head up to Pillow. Jess said I could drive up and she would drive during the parade. Troy went with Robby on the Tanker. I got in the drivers side and then Jess got in the middle and LeeAnn got in the passenger's side and off we went. We got up there around 19:23 hours and we were the first fire company there. However, shortly after we got there, other companies started coming in. I then went over to the carnival grounds and got two hot dogs and a 32 ounze soda and ate the hot dogs and then headed back over to the Utility. We then put the signs on the trailer and then LeeAnn got out the pouches and the tickets and gave one to me. I sold one to one of the guys in Millersburgs Attack which was behind us. We then went through the parade and once back at the carnival grounds, I sold two more tickets. LeeAnn sold 1 ticket before the parade started. We were going to sell tickets during the parade by walking in the parade, but it moved way to fast for us to do it, so we ended up riding on the trailer. We only stayed for a little bit and then we left to head on back. We stopped at Shell in Eville to get fuel for the trucks and gas and then headed back to the station. Once back there we put the four wheeler anf signs away. I then put my gear away and then we put the trailer away and then I put the Utility away and Troy put the Tanker away. Dave and Holly then showed up and them, myself and Troy talked for a little bit and then I left and headed on home around 21:30 hours. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as 07:10 hours will be coming fast.
