Here we go again!! Leaving the house this AM, I look to the north and see a raging orange glow on the horizon.
Pic is poor quality but you get the idea…[emoji849] The second pic is a screenshot from the ZOOM Earth app showing the hot spot. Per the data, it started around 0130-0200. Unknown the cause, but I suspect lightning. We have been in a crazy weird heat bubble this week. Last night it felt like we were on the sun. 111 and strong hot dry winds. All while thunder clouds loomed. Very strange n scary times.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6e0eeb9d79.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8b4d5d90ab.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...966280b9b9.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e5880a004.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
My 80 something year old Bro at his cottage
Played drums in a band, and sax, and guitarhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1662583071.jpg

He looks like someone I would definitely hang out with^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
Besides being in a band, which is cool, he also raced motorcycles
Which is cool too, mostly Bultaco Pursangs on dirt. but he also raced my Bultaco Metralla a quick little 250 2 stroke, and we did OK with it, as I've said before "I had the bike, he had the balls". Not ashamed to say that I was not a racer.

My bike exactly, that's what I hadhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1662591738.jpg

Wow Bugs!
Stay safe, I can just barely imagine how that impacts everything! We live next to a decent sized green belt, several years ago in late summer I was out watering plants in the early evening and could smell smoke. I walked up and down the street out front trying to pinpoint the cause to no avail. Started working my way through the woods and found an abandoned "campfire" kids had set and then wandered away from. Carried 5 gallon buckets of water out to it for about 45 minutes to ensure it was out. Fires here will burn for days in the under-duff and reemerge some where else now and then. We still had a shake roof as did a couple other neighbors- wildfire scares the carp outta me.

Thanks Skip, thank you for doing the right thing putting that campfire out. BTW, absolutely love the last doggo pic in your last post. Scary stuff for sure. Last year the evacuation warning line was dropped less than a mile from us last year during the CalDor Fire. Today, they pushed it within 5 miles for the current Mosquito Fire. We have been here for 20 years and the last four have been crazy.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...68651ca326.jpg From our place yesterday afternoonhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...57eeb6b5a5.jpg Last night from our driveway https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0bb6d0775c.jpg Today https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...46c6d1bfea.jpg At least they are forecasting strong winds out of the North pushing it right towards us…[emoji51] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...90091cb64d.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c5b817bf32.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3c986a5c52.jpg |

Breaks my heart...I have spent a lot of time in the area. Nothing really to say other than the only thing that would get me back in a helo is to go fight that.

Ice cone in Letchworth State Park after a week of sub-zero cold. It formed around a fountain. The falls in the park also froze. |
