I seen to remember a news story within the last few years that mentioned that many of the human observers who manned the towers have been replaced by electronic sensors that are better at spotting the fires than the human eye....and cost less to maintain.

Sounds like your new business is working out well, and will keep you as busy as want to be. Good call!:cool:

We had a family reunion in Seaside, OR about 14 yrs ago, then went down to Crater Lake after, and were amazed at its beauty. They were still running the sightseeing boat at that time. We could see it from the scenic drive around the lake, but weren't able to take the time to board it ourselves...

After a few days with highs in the mid 60's middle of last week when my sister and BIL arrived for a visit, we ran up into the mid 80's over the weekend and early this week, so they were able to get in a little pool time before they left yesterday. Supposed to get into the 90's over the...

Luck!

Keep us posted!

No dragon heater, it just had a wall furnace in the hallway, so we kept all the doors to the bedrooms and bath open to keep the air circulating, and the lower kitchen cupboard doors open on the coldest nights and let the faucets drip to help keep the pipes from freezing. It was an adventure, but...

Yeah, when we were first getting started and living in a 12 yr old 10x48 two bedroom mobile home for five years while saving our nickels and dimes to build, I ended up fashioning some skirting out of some painted chipboard and banking the snow around it to keep the wind from pulling all the heat...

Yeah, the Vikes may be kicking themselves for letting Sam go after JJ McCarthy's first two lack luster injury riddled seasons.

......almost makes me homesick, but when we got back to MN in mid-March a few years ago, and found myself doing this, is when we decided to start staying in AZ a little longer.;)

Some of the younger members might disagree, but we're certainly in that category.... same song on the repeat mode. ;)

Is your roof not an option? We just got our end of the year settle up statement from APS (one of two major power companies in the Phoenix AZ area), and our 12 KW roof top solar produced $193 worth of power in excess of what we used last year, which will cover about the first 4-5 months of the...

Thought I'd seen some national news reports of Florida palms covered in snow earlier this week?

Brrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrr ! Thanks for reinforcing our decision to join these guys!!

Yup, that's how I learned not to bungee up the trailer jack handle to keep it safe from road debris.....instead it punched a hole through my bumper cover when I jackknifed the TD trying to back around on a narrow road.:oops:

Good idea. FWIW The most likely reason a jump from another vehicle with a good battery shouldn't work would be a bad connection, assuming the starter is working normally. A bad connection most likely will be where your battery cables are connected to the battery posts, and can just be that the...

No, just our annual trek to the SW to escape the worst of the winter back in MN. I don't think we'd like the summers here.:(

We came as close to freezing as we've been last night. In anticipation of that, since our bougainvillea shrubs have been the only plants we have had get severely damaged with frost in the past despite being covered, I rigged up a misting system on a timer to keep them misted for the 4 coldest of...

We have a Kwik trip in our MN town, and like it. Kinda miss it here in AZ sometimes, maybe Bucc-ees will have to be our distant cousin substitute down here.

They're building a Bucc-ee's about 10 miles from our AZ home. Kinda anxious for it to open and see what all the fuss is about.
