Author Topic: Soooooo....... earthwalker Cultural Editor & middleweight arm wrestling champion/Intermountain Region Member # 4177 posted August 09, 2018 05:38 AM                   What is the peanut gallery up to these hot august days? This is the month that is 6 months long on the mountain tops. I hate AUGUST!! with a passion. Smoked in can't see beyond a air mile or so. Back to being a braille lookout. I use a lot of webcams for my eyes.. If there were just more in the location I would like to see. Still fighting a ear problem. The tube is plugged and I feel like I'm going deaf in the left ear. Seen the Doc this past Tuesday. He's amped me up on steroids for a few days to try and bust it loose. It might be working. I've felt the ear drum do some popping which it hasn't for a month now it seems like.

To keep myself busy, I've been slaying young Ponderosa Pines at a high rate lately. We have way too many in certain areas and unless they get thinned by me, Mother Nature will do the thinning and that can get ugly and cost a lot more money. Unfortunately, looking back on the trees I left while thinning, the beetles have now attacked some of those trees I wanted to leave. It's no biggie to lose a few, just don't want the majority of the stand to die. These hot, dry summers, make it tough going for trees that are competing for limited moisture and more susceptible to beetle attacks. Anyway, it keeps me busy in my spare time.

Also been handloading a lot...I was getting low on 22-250 so I set up and been pulling the lever every night. Sometimes I loath reloading and sometimes I really enjoy it...right now Im enjoying it. Im loading some LEAD FREE hollow points and they are shooting really good so it makes me happy. Mark -------------------- When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Had a good north wind on it later that night. Was afraid it was going to get to HSB. It's totally contained now. Second pic was the Keithly creek fire out of Midvale. It also ran to the south and threatened a lot of ranches went close into Mann Creek Res. It's contained now. Third pic is the Mesa fire just south of Council. 57% contained. It's been making little runs here and there. Can't see smoked in. Fourth pic is the nasty angry gobbling Rabbit Foot fire. It's spotting and has a fairly big finger running to the south back down the top end of Morgan creek. They will be in a red flag warning tomorrow for a Haines 6 high, low RH and gusty winds. Not looking good. The team is thinking of expanding the closure area. This one is going to piss of a lot of hunters. Not getting it out until fall rains/snow. Oct 31 is what they are saying. Can't get over the summit into Meyers Cove area or Cobalt. I know some of the names don't mean much to a lot of you but some of you might know some of these areas. 104* at my house in the valley. I'm 85* on the mountain and the AC unit can't get the inside below 90* right now. I can't see well over 2 air miles in all directions. The whole southern half of the state is from E-W is in a stage 1 fire restrictions. Fire crews out patrolling and they have found 2 camp fires on a 100 degree day. People are really stupid! -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Eddie Knows what it's all about Member # 4324 posted August 09, 2018 03:20 PM                      Well my back went out 3 weeks ago, just now feeling like doing something. Going up to oldest sons Sunday to do a little crappie fishing. Hope everyone are doing well. Wish my reloading room had a AC, like L H I need to load up some 22-250.

She can see my place sort of from there..Lol Bluffs on the river about three miles away can hardly see 'em. I know some of the ranchers in the Midvale & Council area. They were all a "tad" spooked.

Member # 375 posted August 10, 2018 01:50 AM                   With all that you got in the west, I just checked my rain guage and got 1-1/8 inches of rain last night. To wet to go down to my range and knock over sillywets. I feel for you all. I know my old stomping grounds in Nevada have taken a beating and will be nothing but cheatgrass this spring.

Oh' yeah, the county fair has started a couple miles down the road. Why can't they do this shit in March-April, even May or June ? I would consider attending ? This my 3rd summer on this joint.

Bow hunt. Shorts and flip flops. Monsoon season. No top on the Jeep. Kids not back in school yet. I love August. Been up to just a little bit of what I usually spend most of August doing. But not as much as I'd like or normally do. Up to my eyeballs in a home improvement project that is kicking my ass and taking up all my time instead. I ain't cut out for doing tile... But, anyway, took the family camping last weekend and snapped a few pics of the velvety goodness and one surprise lion. - DAA -------------------- "Oh yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em." -- George Hanson, Easy Rider, 1969.

Yahooo!!! I still HATE August!! Smoke moved out yesterday. It was nice to be able to see again. Smoke moving back in today. I still HATE AUGUST!! Saturday the smoke smelled like burnt garbage. All our smoke is coming from Calif. Rabbit Foot fire is 15k and growing daily. It has moved just about in all directions. Early bow hunters are going to be cut off from a lot of country for a while.

Love the lion! How did that come about? August here so far has been really smokey with visibility around a 1/4 mile and very hot temps. Fire danger is off the charts at the moment and with no rain in 6-7 weeks we are hurting for some.
