Tomorrow is the Day
I went to bed Monday night around 02:30 hours and got up Tuesday morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my digital camera and my suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:27 hours and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at Tower Mini Mart in Lykens and got a paper and then headed to the station. When I got up it was rainning outside and every now and then it would pour down rain. As I was leaving the Mini Mart, Tim had pulled in, but he didn't see me. I got to the station and waited until the rain let up some. While I was waiting, Tim pulled in behind me. We both got out at the same time and made a dash for the door. He unlocked the door and went in and I grabbed his keys. I went in and sat my suitcase behind the couch and then put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. I then clocked in as Yeager and Tracey woke up and got their stuff together. I did a rig check on 6-7 and then they all left and the Flipper called and said about going to breakfast. I said we would be down. I then filled out my paperwork and we got out stuff together, (laptop, portable radio, etc.) and then headed on down to Special Place. I had a side order of bacon and a side order of white toast. After everyone was finished and we were sitting around talking, the tones went off for an ALS call in Halifax Borough for one of their frequent flyers. After Flipper left, we all left and me and Tim headed down to the Eville station to do a few things. I checked all the supplies and restocked what needed to be restocked and then sat down at the computer and logged on to look at the weather channel website. About the time I did that, the tones went off for a fainting in Lykens Borough at the one doctor's office. I logged off and we got in 6-7 and off we went. We got up there and got the guy loaded up and then took him down to Holy Spirit Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. As we were going past Rutter Road in Jackson Township, Zach called Tim and said that Boyer was taking Flipper down to the medical center in Millersburg as Flipper had cracked his head off of the big ass metal lock box in the computer room. So we stopped at Eville and I helped Tim restock his gear and then I got on the computer and put an order in and then I sat down in the day room and read the day's paper. Flipper and Steve the got back and Flipper had a bandage on his forehead. Flipper, John and Zach then went up to Jo-Jo's to eat lunch around 13:00 hours. Tim then finished up what he was doing, we then got in 6-7 and headed back up to Lykens around 14:10 hours. Once back up at Lykens I ate lunch while we watched some TV. We then headed up to Tim's apartment around 14:50 hours to watch Emergency on TV at 15:00 hours. We headed back to the station at 16:00 hours. As soon was we walked into the day room, the tones went off for a call in Jackson Township on Harman road. 6-20 and 6-3 handeled the call. We then sat down and watched "Mars Attacks" on Tim's Xbox. Then around 17:45 hours the tones went off for another call, this time in Halifax Township. I sat up on the couch and asked Tim if he knew if Flipper transported with 6-3 and he said no, that they went BLS. SO I sat back down and finished watching the TV. Tim then turned the TV off and I got on the computer to check a few things and then played a game or two. Then around 19:05 hours, Flipper went available and County acknowledged him and told him to prepare to copy and respond. The tones then went off for an overdose in Williamstown Borough. Flipper came back and asked County if we were available and they said yes. Flipper then told County to have us handle the call since he was still in the Halifax area. I already had the portable radio in my hand and I put us responding while Tim ran to use the bathroom real quick. We then got in 6-7 and off we went. We got up there and the lady was loaded into 24-2 and I moved Tim's gear over to 24-2 and then the headed down to Harrisburg Hospital and I headed back to the Lykens Station. Once back at the station I called Flipper and asked him if he had found any coverage for the open ALS shift in Eville or not. He didn't even know about it and it was now almost 19:30 hours and to late to try and get someone. He said to just head down that way around 20:00 hours. I ended up leaving around 20:26 hours as I got caught up talking to Jim and Terry from the fire company. I stopped at Jo-Jo's and picked up a sub and some chicken fingers for dinner and then headed to the Eville station. I got there and took my dinner and my suitcase and everything else from 6-7 inside. Audrey was already there and I went in and sat my suitcase beside my couch and then sat down and watched Dirty Jobs while I ate dinner. Tim then got back and I helped him put his gear back on 6-7 except for the med bag, which we sat in the bay. Tim then ate dinner while we watched two episodes of Season 1 of Emergency. We are starting over until Season 5 comes out and I get it. He then went back in the men's bunk room to work on his charts and I got on the computer to play a few games. I then went to sleep at 01:00 hours. I woke up at 06:30 hours when the tones went off for a cardiac arrest in Upper Paxton Township. Tim got up and went responding in 6-1. 20-1 got on the scene and called a signal 12 and put Tim in service. He then came back and went back in the bunk room to do something and I went back to sleep. I woke up at 07:30 hours when the alarm on my cell phone went off. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and then put my pillow away and then waited for Tim to be ready to head back up to Lykens. We left around 07:50 hours and headed on up to Lykens. Tindell and Steve were standing in the bay when we got there. I backed the truck in and then got everything out of 6-7 and then clocked out and talked a little bit and then left the station around 08:30 hours and headed down to Wal-Mart. Once there I bought a new Coleman's folding chair, and a few things for vacation. I then stopped at 209 Beverage and picked up a case of Coors Light and then stopped at Shell and got gas. I then stopped at the Eville station and talked to Kathy for a little bit and Steve a little bit and then left Eville around 09:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I changed out of my uniform and then finished packing my suitcase. I then read the paper and then I ate lunch while I did a few things online. I then got the mail before I got ready to head up to the fire station and low and behold I had a notice in there that I have jury duty next month. I am not real happy right now that I got jury duty. I don't know why, but I am. I then changed into old street clothes and headed up to the fire station around 12:45 hours to mow the lawn. I got there and the Tanker was sitting out. Robby was cleaning the inside of his truck and Troy had Tonita's car in the Tanker bay cleaning the inside of that. LeeAnn was in the hall and Katina's car was sitting there. I parked and asked Robby how long they would be and he said he didn't know. I said I would mow the two upper lots first and then hopefully they would be done and I could mow the lower lot then. I then got the mower out and it took me about 1 hour to mow the two upper lots. They had finished washing the cars by the time I was done. They then shot the shit a little bit. Robby then left and then myself, Troy and LeeAnn went down to talk to Bubba. Tonita then showed up with Troy's car and she came over and we talked. Bubba then headed back in the house around 15:00 hours to get his lunch ready for work and Tonita and Troy headed up to Burger King to get something to eat after Troy put the Tanker away. I then mowed the lower lot and was done by 15:45 hours. I then refilled the lawn mower and put it away in the old fire house and closed everything up and headed on home. Once at home I ate dinner while I did a few things online. I am soon getting ready to take a shower and then am 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. A reminder that I will be leaving on vacation tomorrow morning and will not be back until Sunday evening.
