Spritz of rain yesterday evening. Today was beautiful...81 degrees...NW winds 5-10. Worked on fire trucks some more. Mainly installing led work lights at the pump and led offroad lights on the fronts.

I wish we had the kind of cash that would even make those an option (I would never want one for an emergency vehicle). As it sits we get $72k a year for 2 stations and 10 vehicles. We have to be pretty creative with our money.
We had cold weather last winter and it showed Montreal, in traffic, all these Teslas and ford trucks and others sitting on the side of the road dead. Waiting for a tow. My brother in law has one of those ionic 5's and said he can watch the power going down in the winter with everything on sitting in traffic. Aaa . No thanks.

Tonight upper 60's lower 90's tomorrow. Bow season starts at daybreak in morning. Little warm for me. But I be in tree at sunrise. That is my plan anyway.
I went to buy a treestand this morning to replace my best one. Store wouldnt price match so I ordered it from cabelas for $50 cheaper. It will be here monday. My place is dead till late october anyway.

Good luck brother. I guess no screwing around if you get the big one. Definitely cold room as fast as you can. We get above freezing and we start worrying. No worries the last few years in Alberta with the -27 temperature. Frozen solid in a few hours. Haha.

Its currently 70 headed for a high of 87. Enhanced risk for severe thunderstorms with all hazards possible. Sitting in Waverly waiting for a 4-6th grade football game to start.

I love a good thunderstorm, but we don't have any of those twisty things in them. I love them my dog not so much. 😊

We're prepping drugs for our dog!

That stuff will stunt your growth!! Maybe that's a good thing.

Not dead yet...been to AZ and back twice...gas bill is killing me...it's a thousand dollars /trip!! Leave next week with a load of 100 steel fence posts, 2miles of barbed wire, 42 4"x 8' posts and 3 12"x 24' poles for an entrance gate thing. Waiting on septic permit which takes 4-6 weeks there...it took 3 days in ID. Taking my little travel trailer down to spend the Winter I think. Once septic is in I can dump there. Still hauling water in 275 gal totes and generator for power...solar on trailer runs refrig and lights but not AC so since it's in the 80's to 50's season in AZ I don't need the genny that much. I converted my 5K Honda generators to propane so they run cleaner and almost as good as that junk gasoline.

We had rain turned to snow a few days back...melted on the way down it was 37F and warm ground. But, that crap is coming...leaves are turning above 4,000' and ferns in my woods now getting golden.

Just thought I'd check in an say hello...best to everyone and happy Columbus Day or whatever the faggots call it now.
