That is cool. Hopefully he will spend a long time in jail/prison.

I was looking through the photos on my iPad tonight and found some from six years ago (2018). A shot from the Carr Fire from in front of my office looking West past the ER of Shasta Regional Hospital and from by the Water Tower on Hilltop Dr.

It is getting closer to the Scout Camp, but we can only pray.
My buddy Scotty is just South of the fire. I called to check on him, hes holding on

Hopefully folks have heeded the calls to make defensible space around their houses and barns.

I pray everyone affected by the fire will be safe and the first responders will also be safe and able to come home to their families when it is all done.

Last day of July. How time flies.

I guess the US doesn't have a lock on horrific tragedies.

Here are this morning’s map updates for the Park Fire. The one is just the fire area and locations of heat, NOT the amount of containment.

This truck is going to be the death of me... I took it to the repair shop and had them connect their scanners to it. Everything was fine except the EVAP, which is an issue with the gas cap, and they said that will not make it fail. So, I put $60 worth of gas in it, and then went to Red Carpet car wash. My own fault, the lady wrote me up for an oil change, and I signed the paperwork. While in the bay getting everything checked and new oil and filter installed the CEL light comes on. When done they said the truck was ready. I asked about the smog test, and she said she would check. That is when she tells me they did not do a smog test, just the oil change. I told them I didn't need the oil changed as it is less than two months old. That is when I checked the paperwork and found out I had signed for an oil change. So, I had them do a smog test. It failed because of the CEL and this time it says there is something wrong with the cat. I told them that is BS as there was nothing wrong with the cat that morning at the repair shop when they scanned it.
I told the repair shop I would be back tomorrow and have them put the chin spoiler and license plate frame on the bumper, so I will have them check again with the scanner. I spent $35 on the test (no cert because it didn't pass) $83 on the oil change and $60 on gas. $178 and still not passed the smog test
