Hit 98 yesterday. We were hotter than the Boise valley.
Had the house open all night then shut it all down pulled the blinds and sat in the cave. Only way to survive it.
Suppose to cool off today. 90 or so. LOL
Fire season has arrived. Nothing close but a good one South of American Falls and one at McCammon but was caught. Have one in the Wilderness that they are going to put out and not fool around with it. It's just too early in the season. The big problem is the usual afternoon winds that keeps things churned up.
Hope the water holds out.
Checked the dog's leg yesterday. Main concern right now it sore breaking out. One small sore on a toe and the back of his leg was rubbed raw from the tape. Vet cut down the splint and cut out the areas around the toe and hock. It's down to a weekly check. But the joint is healing and getting stronger. Hoping to be down to braces by the 4th. Would like to go fishing can't with the dog in splints/casts he loves the water too much.

So, where do you stand on controlled burns and "Old Growth" and fire policy, in general?
Good hunting. El Bee

Old growth my ass. How do you know it's old growth?
Control burns at the right time of the year is good for the country/area.
We're way too dry and anything that starts now and only managed will burn the country down by fall. Don't need 1910 all over again which could happen with the next wild fire that starts.
Already hearing talk of farmers running out of water for irrigation. Might make it to the 4th.

95 so far today.
Some wispy clouds floating by.
It isn't even July yet.
Texted with a gal from my old district. South part of district no moisture no grass looks like moon scape. North part of district has had moisture grass. Bad fire fighting area. Mostly done with dozers and helicopters.
Sore glad I'm done with it.
One fire in the "Frank" but they caught it.
Nimrod season is just starting, seeing a long hot smoky summer.

There is no hope for Dave.
North wind up here today. And getting cloudy. Strange weather.

EarthWalker;
Question;..............
Yesterday there was a fire just over the hill & out of sight from me. It would billow black smoke for a while, die down, then billow white smoke for a while and then repeat the whole routine over again. It went on for about an hour.
Other than electing a new Pope, doesn't the different colors of smoke say something about what's going on with the fire ????
Posted by Dave Allen (Member # 3102) on June 20, 2021, 02:27 PM:
Anybody been to a DMV lately ?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 20, 2021, 03:10 PM:
Why wold you do that?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 20, 2021, 04:03 PM:
You know, an interesting thing when traveling in northern Mexico is that you see the smoke from fires in the distance. At least some of these is in burning the insulation off of copper wire, (cable). They steal it out of the walls or chop it from the poles, or who knows but once the insulation is burned away, the wire loses all it's temper and it's easy to compress or hammer into bricks and sell it for scrap, no questions asked. Mexico is a lawless country, as you may have heard? The Federales give the peons a worthless piece of land as a homestead in the middle of no where, and they are on their own. It's amazing to see them make their cinder blocks and construct fortress housing and they cook outside under a shelter. They make their tortilla on top of a modified 55 gallon drum that has a half moon shaped opening in the bottom where they stuff twigs and use the top as a griddle. And they use ice chests for the beer, climate in northern Sonora is pretty much the same every day. Nearest civilization is San Louis, but it's barren, not even many trees. We left a 500 Mossberg with them many years ago just so we wouldn't have to hassle the documentation. I wonder if they still have it? Obviously the only firearm in the commune. But they made it so you could only "take" two animals out of the country and we were killing 25-35 in a weekend so lost the incentive, no reason to go back. I know a guy that had been going down there for years with Danny Batistini and he said, seriously, if you get stopped by the guy with the Christmas Tree on the door, you might as well kill him because he's going to make things miserable for you. That's a little too deep for me and for a while we just wanted to join a Sendero Club, silhouettes and that allows you to travel around in Baja and Sonora, maybe down to Hermosillo? and go to matches. With rifles. But these assholes count every cartridge and you better not have extra, and positively no weapons or ammo that has any military application whatso ever! This is really why they invented the 38Super for the Colt 1911. It's not 45ACP, very military and if the Mexican government worries about anything, it's another revolution, which they dearly need! You have 50 million desperately poor peons and maybe 5,000 fabulously wealthy people and nothing in between. If there was ever a reason for Guillotines and the heads to roll, Mexico is on borrowed time. They can't even afford to travel on the super highways built for the touristas, because they are toll roads and Mexicans can't afford tolls.
This brings to mind all the Guatemalans arriving at the border, all fresh faced, well dressed and carrying nothing while they supposedly have walked 3,000 miles north every one of them in new clothes and brand new tennis shoes. None of them look bedraggled from the journey, carrying babies, and fat people that look like they couldn't walk across the street without assistance, yet they are wading across the Rio Grand! WTF? George Soros is spending his money to tax the American government to the breaking point. These people are life long dependents and they are fertile baby factories. And the Democrats are playing us for suckers! Have we lost our collective minds? They think, no problem, we will just tax the rich! The rich know how to shelter their money but middle class people will be stuck with the bill and they tell these people who can't even speak english to go to the polls, that they aren't allowed to turn them away and they submit a provisional ballot and an hour later, it's counted if it's marked Democrat right down the line, and they make sure that they mark it correctly. Meanwhile, Republicans are so stupid, they can't object, have no idea what to do and somehow they elect social Democrats by a margin that exceeds the county population. How has it come down to this, I don't know but we are losing and will continue to lose. Working people are supporting 8-10 people that don't work, how the fuck does that math work out?
Will we ever see another brief 4 years of prosperity, fucking Trump was a miracle! And the Media saw to it that he was hated for his success! Who was it that used to scream, STOP THE INSANITY! Stan somebody? I've met his sister, she runs the local theater group in downtown Upland. Whatever?
Good hunting. El Bee

Black smoke usually means heavy fuels thick timber, houses, cars and such.
White usually means lighter fuels.Like grass.
Green means they are chopping hay. LOL
Yellow white usually means hay stacks. Smoke column is usually thick and stays low to the ground (sometimes) and burns for hours.

Yesterday was such a nice day of 88 high and nice cool north wind.
RH 15%. Yesterday 24% you could feel the difference.
This is going to be a very long deadly hot summer.
Crossed the Salmon river south of town and its running late August flow and has moss growing in the bottom already.

When moving to a different state some things are required in person. Visited Oregon DMV today things actually went pretty smooth. Better than I thought.
Only place in Oregon I've actually put a face diaper on. Made an appointment before ect..ect..
Posted by earthwalker (Member # 4177) on June 22, 2021, 03:39 AM:
I had to get a new drivers license last year. Had to make an appointment. They really wanted me to do it on line but I wanted to turn in my old CDL license. They finally let me come in and get it.
Now the other half had to do it too but they never gave him a bit of trouble. It must just be me. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

My wife went to the DMV in Payette Idaho last winter. It was an emergency no time for an appointment. They made her stand outside in 20 degree temps for two hours.
My wife rode with me yesterday, she forgot to make an appointment. They squezzed her in to my surprise. I told the lady it's almost 100 miles for us to get to the DMV she made it happen.

I AM SO THROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS LOCKDOWN BULLSHIT I COULD SPIT! THE MASK THING IS SOME KIND OF TOTEM, TOO MANY OF THESE ASSHOLES ARE PERFECTLY OKAY WITH WEARING THAT GODDAMNED MASK EVERYWHERE. AS IF IT ACTUALLY DOES ANY GOOD? AND, LATELY I HAVE BEEN READING THAT (OH YES!) MASKS HELP PROTECT US! YEAH, SURE! EITHER THEY ARE ARE WORTHLESS FOR THE TASK INTENDED OR THEY ARE A PROTECTION AGAINST DEADLY PATHOGENS. THANKS TO BIG TECH, THAT HAS ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR VIGOROUSLY DETERMINING TRUTH, WE GET AT LEAST THREE SIDES TO EVERY ITEM OF INFORMATION. IT SEEMS THAT THE ONE MOST HIGHLY CENSORED IS USUALLY THE MOST ACCURATE. I DON'T HAVE A GOOD FEELING THAT THE GOOD GUYS WILL PREVAIL BECAUSE LIBERALS AND ROTTEN MOTHERFUCKERS AND CONGENITAL LIARS AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO ADVANCE THEIR DISHONEST GOALS! SHORT OF BEING TAKEN OUT AND SHOT, I DO NOT KNOW OF AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO STAMP THESE ROTTEN BASTARDS INTO THE FUCKING MUD! THERE IS NO PLEASING THEM, NO MIDDLE GROUND, THEY TAKE NO PRISONERS! LOOK! LIBERALISM IS A SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND IT'S INCURABLE! BEWARE!
Good hunting. El Bee
