4 More Days

I went to bed last night around 02:30 hours after uploading my pictures from the party onto my myspace page. I woke up this morning at 09:30 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and ate a quick breakfast and then changed into street clothes and headed up to the fire house around 09:45 hours. I got up there and Bill was already there and in the hall. I stopped in the hall to grab the boot, but Bill had already grabbed it. Bubba and Robin were already up, as was Lee and his wife and Travis and a couple of the realitives from Indiana. I then headed down to the fire house and started loading the fire prevention stuff into the Utility and then loaded my gear and the signs in the back. I then pulled the Engine out and then pulled the Utility out and went over and hooked the trailer up to the Utility. I then moved the Utility over in front of the and went in to start the Utility up. It wouldn't start and I figured out that it might have been the battery since it has sat idle for almost 3 weeks as it was last started and moved when me and Troy took it up to Blue Knob. I pushed it out and then Bill helped me push it up onto the trailer and then we secured it. My father then showed up and he put his gear in the back and put his lunch box with water and snacks along with some signs he had made in the front seat. Once we got the four wheeler on the trailer. I backed it up and then backed the Engine in. I then had LeeAnn who had just shown up, pull the hose out and I started spraying the four wheeler down. She then came out with a bucket of soap and I washed it and then rinised it off. Troy then showed up and he gave me the money and I got the tickets out of his truck and then we left to head up to Wal-Mart around 10:37 hours. Bubba had pull started the four wheeler once it was on the trailer and we decided to let it run on the way up to Wal-Mart to charge the battery. Once we got up there, we unloaded everything and got it set up. Originally it was myself, my father and Bill. LeeAnn then came up and then Bubba came up and then Jess and Tonita stopped by for a little bit. We did very good, we sold over 50 raffel tickets and I think around 6 or 7 Daily Number Tickets. Around 16:45 hours, me and Bubba headed down to Burger King to get something to eat for dinner. I also picked something up for my father. We loaded everything up around 18:00 hours and then headed back to the station. Once there we put everything away from the Utility and then I put the four wheeler away and then the trailer and parked the Utility beside the station as Bubba was going to be pulling his car in the Engine bay to work on it. Robin then wanted to go down to Outback and use the gift card they got last night at the party. Me and Lonny hung out and I cut some couplings off of some hose that Keifer thought we could use. I then moved the rest of the junked hose around in the old firehouse. Bubba and them didn't get bacj until almost 21:30 hours. In that time I had played a few games of solitar up in the hall. I then told Bubba I would help him in any way I could with what he had to do to his car. I moved the Engine out and he pulled the Monterao in and he checked all the brakes and the tires and then a few other things. We closed up and left around 23:45 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
