I think I started some trouble while you were away. Sorry about that. 10 days and a wake up and I'll be gone.

Wound up with a couple inches here, and warming up. Should turn to rain, and likely big wind, again.

It's funny how things work like that Hup.

Up here, wildfires burn, people are annoyed, but other than that, there isn't much drama.

Down states, a wildfire will bring on the National Guard, Pete and his crew, and FEMA.


It still ticks me off to think people stayed after they were told to evacuate.....again!

A few years ago, Goodnews Bay had 100 mph winds and a storm surge that blew boats, fish camps, nets, etc 8 miles up the valley. I don't see any FEMA trailers there.....


Now, I'm not some curmudgeon, and I do feel for those folks out East, but when they are warned, they should get out or deal with it.

right. Case in point... we had 2 HURRICANES in september....yet no one complained....or even mentioned it on the news outside of here....

Now, i understand that the flooding is a different story....and causes alot of damage and would suck, especially in such filthy places as NYC and NJ.....

But, the people who build thier house right next to the mississippi river, NYC, New Orleans, NJ shore etc should KNOW that this can and will happen.... Yet they all act surprised when it does.... also, the dummies dont get flood insurance and expect someone to pay for it....

they really don't get much sympathy from me......

As this plays out and folks in NYC go without heat and power for a week or more, I have a feeling it gets pretty ugly there. They already have folks pulling guns at gas stations. It is only going to get worse.

That's because we don't live in the real world. We are on our own, hence the "wilderness" designation. Pull up your boots, boys. We going to town!

Well, I know I'm gonna hear it...but, stuck my traps on top of my 55 gl barrel on a rack and heated them to melt the grease off...I swear now, the springs don't seem very strong..they are 1.5 duke's, so, always had long spring....is this what heat does to a spring? is it worth it to replace springs? But, I can push these open pretty easily..
