Halifax Firemen's Carnival, Final Night

I went to bed last night around 04:00 hours and got up this afternoon around 12:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things online. I then got dressed around 17:05 hours and headed up to the fire house. Katina, Schoffstall, LeeAnn and Bubba were all there. I parked and talked to LeeAnn and Bubba. LeeAnn then gave me the tickets and money and I put them in my car for the time being. I then pulled the Engine out and then moved the Utility out and started loading stuff into it. I put my father's cordless drill in the one outside compartment. I then put the box of screws in the rear driver's side compartment along with the rachet straps from the station. I then put my gear and the wheel up front along with the money box and the tickets and money. My father then had to run home to get his pager. While he was gone, I moved the Utility over and hooked the trailer up. My father then got back and said about him loading the four wheeler onto the trailer so he could back the Engine in. I said I would load the four wheeler awhile so he could back the Engine in. He mumbeled something and then wnet over to the Engine. I loaded the four wheeler and then secured it to the trailer. We then grabbed the cooler and put that on the back of the trailer. We then took off and headed into the park. Once at the park, we unloaded everything and then unhooked the trailer and then I moved the Utility over and then House helped me carry the cooler up to the stand and then we carried the table and chairs down to my father and set them up in front of our lights. I then put the sign out front and then got two orange soda's and two cheeseburgers. Things started out slow tonight and then picked up. At 21:00 hours I then got 4 slices of pizza and by 22:30 hours we were down to 5 strips of candy (3 Crunch Bars and 2 Hershey Bars). We shut down at 22:50 hours and after I put everything away I started taking stuff down and then we carried it down to my father. I then quickly went to the bathroom and then moved the Utility and we hooked up the trailer and while they worked on loading the Utility, I took down the wheel post and the board and then once back down at he Utility, I took down the lights and took them apart and we loaded eveything onto the trailer and then me and my father left and headed back out to the station. Once there we unloaded everything and we put the four wheeler and the trailer away and then I backed the Utility in and then my father backed the Engine in and he left and headed on home. I then took a quick look at the tickets and he sold 6 Daily Number tickets and 32 four wheeler tickets for the night, which was the best night out of all four nights for ticket sales. I then counted my money and we made $100.00 for the night, for a total of $314.45 for all four nights. I then headed on home and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
