Got you and your family along with the critters wrapped up in prayer. Be safe and be wise. Those great firefighters will battle everything to save your home.
I hope the drone melts and you find it in a melted pile of plastic! You will win this one. No worries!

thanks gang..it is nice to come here and decompress,kinda soothing.They must be steering it away from us.dont have the current info yet this a.m. but its less smokey and the choppers are flying a path like a mile east from yesterday.Clouds to the west yaaaaa!!!chance of rain by sun or mon.unfortunately lightning and winds too but we'll take it anyways.the evac.trigger point hasnt been reached or we would know it.they go door to door,not many of us this far east in the valley.

power on and it all just feels better.weedwhacked at least 200ft break around my prop last night and nothing left to do.gonna weed whack as many neighbors as I can today,I have plenty of help.my friends are just showing up on their own as they know how far east I am.we like our own force,its great.trimming dead out of trees too.place is looking great!!

I think we got this one !!gut feeling.thanks again gang.

They mentioned your drone incident on the CBS morning news.

Probably a friggen free-lance "reporter" trying for a scoop.

Stay safe!

I am glad to see that it sounds like you are in the clear...
Hope it stays that way...

NOW...
Well if the fire is "at bay"...

Then sounds like it may be near time for the
marshmallows... graham crackers and some milk chocolate. (I was fighting the spell correct with the word "marsemEllows" ... heh) ITS E not A... in my book.

Maybe even grab a stick and some hot dogs ?
