Christmas Eve

I went to bed last night around 03:40 hours and got up this morning at 10:50 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and then read the paper. I then got my santa suit and stuff ready and headed up to the fire house shortly after 12:00 hours and met Katina up there. I got up there and parked beside the old fire house. Once up there I took my stuff inside the fire house and then salted both concrete pads and then I headed up to the fire hall and Katina pulled in around that time. The front walk into the hall was a solid sheet of ice, so I put salt down on that and then we went in and saw that some new leaks had developed in the hall, mostly in the kitchen, but there was one in the hall area in front of the bingo machine. We spent about 45 minutes chasing leaks around and putting buckets under them and taking ceiling tiles out in the kitchen to keep them from getting wet and to let the wet ones dry. Kenny came over and then Bubba came up around 15:00 hours. I went down to the fire house around 16:30 hours and started getting dressed around 16:45 hours. I went up to the hall a little after 17:00 hours and there wasn't a whole lot of kids there. I got my annual visit from Jess while up at the hall along with my annual visit from Jean. I then left at 18:00 hours and we headed down to the fire house. Bubba put some icecicle lights on the Engine and we decided that since it was not raining at the time that I would go up in the chair, so they got that up on top. I sat up top for in town and the development off of Tourist Park Road, and by the time I got off, it was starting to rain. I sat in the cab when we stopped at Biarley's and when we went through my development. By the time we got into Enders, it had stopped raining and I went back up top and put trash bags down on the seat at least until the fabric had dried from the wind and the heat from the quartz lights. We hit three mode developments and then we stopped at Shell to get fuel for the generator and the truck and then we headed back to the station. Once there I changed back into my street clothes and then got my gear out of the Engine. I then put my stuff back in my car and then me and LeeAnn headed up to the hall and then Jess came up after taking Jaz down to the house. Brian then showed up and then Troy came in and then Lonny came in. We then talked to well after midnight and I left around 00:20 hours and headed on home. Once at home I brought everything in and put it away and then took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
