More Trailer Pics

 

I love that TV. One day I'll have HD satellite with DVR. Blue-Ray too.

CA Lightning Fires


I'm at Heritage RV Park (right in the middle). I just heard on NPR that this many lightning fires is a rare event. There are currently hundreds of fires burning and the previous record for fires of this type was something like 76.

Corning is not really in any danger as far as I know, but it's really smoky today

My Home

 

Trailer living at its finest. I'm finally getting things in here sorted out the way I want them.

Smoke Settles in the Valley




My buddy Art told me about this last week but I didn't believe him. Apparently when the conditions are right and the fires are scattered enough, smoke will settle in the Sacramento valley. It's weird how it blacks out the sun. Kinda like a cloudy day except that you can taste the smoke.

And strange enough, these fires aren't even that close to Corning. The Humbolt fire that temporarily displaced thousands last week didn't even produce a smoky effect - and I could actually see that fire from the airport.

View from the Hangar




Not my RV. The plane in the background is unique in that it has two enigne but the are oriented down the center-line (one in front and one in back). One of the advantages of this is that if you lose an engine it flies the same (no adverse yaw).
