Hey buddy

I was actually wondering how your builds have been going.. lol and looking back in the thread to see.

We are good, had the biggest scare a few weeks ago when we got the evac order dropped on us. Kinda thought we were screwed to be honest. Crews busted their arses and everyone got through it. Several hangars were damaged but are still standing.






The Park Fire is about 90 miles north of us but the smoke is impacting the region at 375K acres. A guy set his car on fire and pushed it into a gulley, that’s what kicked that one off. A very good friend and fellow pelican lost everything in the paradise fire several years ago. He grew up there and just moved the family into their new home. Moving boxes were still stacked when they lost it all. They now live in Chico and the Park fire’s evac line got dropped two streets away. I can’t even imagine…. We were poised to respond and help in anyway possible.


Thanks for reaching out and checking.

Mrs Bugs n I were just talking about how last years season was thankfully mild. Then 2024 is the year from hell… we just don’t get it.
