Good Morning!!!! 79F @ 6:30AM. Sunny. High 96F. Winds light and variable.
AQI 130 and 308, inside and out. I was up at 5AM coughing, and AQI was at 158. Furnace fan has been on ever since, and maybe in a couple hours it'll clean up some. Wind has dropped into the 5-10 MPH range, still from the north here. Up the canyon, the fire did make it to Hwy 70 last night, and reports have it crossing about a dozen miles NNW of here. Looking at the satellite map, I'm due SSW of it, but with the sunrise winds usually reverse and start moving up canyon. Let's hope so.
I went with the Rigol DS1202Z-E Series o'scope, Ken. We'll see how good the docs are once it's delivered, but that won't be until they lift the evac orders.
Sounds like someone needs to start checking pockets before laundry hits the hamper, Rich.:laughing:
Hope the worst is over, DavidMFW. Sometimes it seems like it'll never end, but it will.
Sounds like your friend might have taken advantage of the widow's situation, David, but at least her late husband's tools will still get some good use.
Hope the new ladder is light enough for you, RS, but my experience is that size is all I can handle by myself, and I have to be real careful not to let it fall on my head.
Really don't care for SPAM, but for some strange reason am always tempted to bring home a can from the huge pile of it at Costco. Scrapple, on the other hand, at least when made with bacon and lard, is mighty tasty and at the same time mighty bad for ya...
Yesterday someone posted on the local Facebook group a simulation of how fire would spread once it reached the canyon, so there's at least a 10% chance it'll be here in a day or two. Unless CalFire can finally get their butt in gear instead of standing by and idly letting it burn like the Forest Service has been doing. You'd think that with the fire basically out the rest of the way around the perimeter, this place would be swarming with people, equipment, and airplanes, so we'll see. There's a community online meeting with the fire team tonight. Now I have to decide whether to watch it or the Presidential debate...
In the mean time, I'll take another lap around the house and adjust my hose lays and see what else I can move under cover. And with all the wind we've had over the past few days, give the tarps over the wood piles another look, too.
Trucker/neighbor said he'd try to make time this "weekend" (his weekend, which rotate) to look at the fire truck. Now's the time...
