Was a fun little diversion.Quote:

Strong work....We went from spring-like to Africa hot in like a week...100+ every day this week, had a duplex go up last night and there's a motherfucker burning up north in the Jemez......... Looking like a long, hot summer. Oh, and no matter how hot and dry it is, I guarantee 4th of July will look and sound like downtown Beirut here in Albuquerque, so there's that to look forward to.......Quote:

Fuel moistures are near record lows even with that heavy wet snow and a few fully washers since. I'd say we're above average for precip here in the foothills and only 1/2" below at DIA.
It's been a lot of fun and work. Only second summer into it. Just finished up CO FF1 certification, hazmat ops and EMR. Along with FF II wildland of course. Had two structure fires, two vehicle fires, a bunch of smallish wildland fires and a few prescribed burns including one where I put a bunch of fire on the ground.
Fortunately CO law is strict on fireworks and we'll likely be close to some type of fire bans in areas which will raise awareness.
strong work in the last couple days folks, love this thread
At park with daughter, Rainier likes to poke her turtle head out.

There are things about it that suck no doubt. The traffic. The 3-hour drive from DC. Route 1. Fucking Route 1. But once you're there, and as long as you don't try to go anywhere while you're there. it's pretty fucking great and I'm not lying.
We rented a place on the Dewey/Rehoboth line for 5 straight years when the kids were little, that was the exact sweet spot, quiet between the two towns, about half-mile of empty beach just to the north in the no-mans-land between the two towns. Pretty sweet. Hell I wrote a book about it.
