The mini-mart that still has non-ethanol gas was out of the higher octane. Darn:msp_biggrin: weedwhacking may be curtailed. Should I have a saw emergency, there are the little cans of premix waiting.

"Rewilding"? These people must stay up at night to come up with these terms. Oh, and these single species forest? What's going to happen to all the wildlife that depend on diversity? Sorry for the soapbox.

 

[madhatte]

We've got some of that going on too. It's a pretty contentious issue and there are a lot of bad feelings all around. Speaking of which, I've got a meeting I need to be at in a couple of minutes. Please note that in the article I linked the authorship is credited to a NGO. This appears to be how it's done now.

let me slide my soap box right along side. a single species forest is not a forest, it a sterile tree farm.

ya ever wonder why ya don't hear bout this stuff on the news? don't look good. do you guys mean recreational fishing? surely not I hope.

 

[slowp]

I foolishly got a fishing license this year. I had no idea how complex the rules are. Many trees must be killed for the rule book, I guess that's where the silver lining is?

The Pinchot Partners, is the farce that supposedly gives input and gets grants for our area. Unfortunately, the local people on it do not have a high level formal education, and the enviros on it do. Guess who usually gets their way? Hint--not local.

I broke something deep in one of the datasets from a cruise, and now the numbers won't behave themselves. It would be an easier error to find if it showed up as +/- at least one order of magnitude off, but instead it's in the ballpark but plain wrong. It's aggravating.

Ruh roh. This is us. From the weather people:

... Red flag warning in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to 11 PM
PDT this evening for scattered lightning for fire weather zones 658 and
659...

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a red flag
warning... which is in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to 11 PM
PDT this evening.

* Affected area... fire weather zones 658 and 659.

* Wind... gusty and erratic winds can be expected near thunderstorms.

* Thunderstorms... scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop
this afternoon and evening. Rainfall with these storms will
initially be light... increasing into the evening.

* Impacts... lighting that strikes dry fuels will have the
potential to ignite fire and increase initial attack.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. Scattered lightning in
dry fuels can contribute to numerous fire starts and stretch
available firefighting resources. Thunderstorms can also bring
erratic and gusty winds to existing fires.

It sure is muggy and the skeeters are thirsty.

Even though I started as early as possible I did a poor job of skinning the steer I butchered yesterday. Bright side I did not get stung by the yellow jackets or bald face hornets.

Always look on the bright side....

I am hoping that enough precip has fallen to get the mushrooms to pop up and then the huckleberry pickers will leave the berries and go for fungi.
