HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I went to bed Tuesday night around 03:00 hours and woke up Wednesday morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my digital camera, suitcase and jacket and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together and then left the house around 19:30 hours and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at the Tower Mini Mart and picked up a newspaper and then headed to the station. Jim was already there when I parked and then got my stuff and headed inside. Once inside I clocked in and put my stuff in the fridge and then did a quick rig check on 6-5. As I was finishing up my rig check, the tones went off for a call in Washington Township that was 6-3. Tim and Stutzman took that call. However, Jim wanted to head down that way since 6-8 had to be taken up to West End to have some work done on it. So we headed on down to the scene and they were getting ready to leave, so we went back to the station to get 6-8 and take it up to West End. I went over to 6-8 to get it started while Jim went inside to double check that 6-8 was the unit that needed to go up to West End and it was. Meanwhile I couldn't get 6-8 started. In the long run I had a hell of a time getting it started, but once I did I took it up to West End and then Jim brought 6-5 up and we dropped 6-8 off and then went to McDonald's and ate breakfast. After we ate breakfast we headed back up to Lykens. Once there I filled out my paperwork and then I checked a few things online and then sat down and read the paper. Then at 10:29 hours the tones went off for a chimney fire in Upper Paxton Township, with us in place of Company 20 who was already out on a call. Both me and Jim got up and then Stutzman called Jim and said that they were backing and headed down to the call. The fire ended up extending into the walls and the working fire alarm was dispatched. They were down there for at least 3 hours. Around 12:30 hours Jim said to me about running him up to his house in Gratz so he could get a few things, which I did. After he was done at his house, he asked me to stop at the pizza place so he could get something to eat for lunch, which I did and then we headed back to the Lykens station. Once there I got on the computer and ate lunch while I played some Texas Hold'em Poker online. Later in the afternoon, Tim got another call down to Millersburg for something, I can't remember now what it was. I then ran down to Ciao's around 18:30 hours and got a sub and two slices of pizza for later on and then walked back to the station where I ate dinner. I finally sat down and watched some TV. Up until almost 17:30 hours I was playing poker online. I then ate dinner and then Kuntz came in a afew minutes after 20:00 hours and the three of us talked for about 30 minutes and then Jim left. About 10 minutes after Jim left, the tones went off for chest pains in Wayne Township on Back Road. Me and Kuntz were trying to figure out who's call it was and then Tim called and asked and I said we were looking it up. When I said it was there's he didn't sound so happy as they had just sat down at Jo-Jo's to eat dinner. I then sat down and watched two hours of TV on the Discovery Channel and then at 23:00 hours, I got back on the computer and played some more poker online. I heard them go available around 00:30 hours I believe it was. Then around 01:15 hours the tones went off for a sick person in Mifflin Township. Off they went again on yet another call while we stayed in the nice warm station. I laid down in bed around 01:30 hours and went to sleep. Then around 01:45 hours the tones went off for breathing problems in Upper Paxton Township. I got up and so did Kuntz, and I got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then we got in 6-5 and off we went. Kuntz ended up being cancelled as the lady was just overly drunk. So we went available and went back to Lykens. Once back there Kuntz watched some TV until 03:00 hours and then he turned it off and I finally got to sleep. I woke up this morning at 07:45 hours when the alarm on my cell phone went off. I got out of bed and got the stuff back on my belt and put my pillow away and then got my boots on. I then got my stuff out of 6-5 and then brought all of the gear in and locked it up in the cabinet as there was no one in the Lykens station for the day shift. I then woke Kuntz up and then clocked out and left and headed on down to the Eville station. Once there I filled out a time card and then headed on home. Once at home I changed into my pj's and went back to bed and got another hour's worth of sleep. I then got up and got dressed and then we got in my mother's van and we headed on down to the Crossroad's restuarant in Grantville to eat Thanksgiving Dinner. The food was really good. They have it set up as a buffet style. I had three pieces of Roast Beef, Two slices of Ham, 7 Slices of white meat and some dark meat, along with two rolls and two pieces of chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. After we were done, I paid for my Grandfather's meal and then we went back to his house for a little bit. Josh popped in Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special DVD and we watched that until 15:00 hours. We then stayed for about another half an hour and then we left and headed on home. I slept most of the way home in the car and once we got home and we came inside, I changed into my pj's and then got on the PS2 and played Call of Duty 3 for a little bit. I then got off and took a shower and then ate dinner while I stated watching College Football on TV. Texas just beat Texas A&M 49 - 9. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
