Well folks, I have posted in the past about forest fires keeping us on edge, and this year it is worse than ever. No measurable rain since late June, and temperatures in the 90's to 100's which has kept us on edge for a long time.

A huge fire over in Idaho, in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness area has kept us under a smoke alert sine mid July. Now, the fires have combined together and we have a Stage 3 Air alert here and fire warnings for all areas East of the Bitterroot Mtns. ......which is us.

So, yesterday we find out that the fires are only 20 miles from us. Yipeee...the wind is blowing in our direction, so we are going up to our cabin over near Helena. Got the roof sprinklers on and lets see what happens.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Dfosterf and all others...thanks for your concerns. We have the Russian Jets (aka AEb6E Jets) flying air tanker strikes on the fires so we are in good hands. I guess the Russians are friends, aren't they? These are huge cargo jets that can fly slow and low and hold 2-3 times the retardant that the old P2-V planes can hold. One just went over our house about 3 minutes ago...an awsome sight to see. Whole damn mountain shook.

We set up our roof sprinklers yesterday and they are on a 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off cycle until this gets over. Which most likely will have to be a season ending snowstorm. And hopefully that will be in the next 2 weeks.

Living in Western Montana is wonderful....you have to be completely out of your mind to put up with this for 38 years. 10 feet of snow in winter and fires in summer. How much better can it get?

Planned to go to the cabin with Randy and Debbie, but there are fires over there, so shit, we will sit tight and watch reruns of LaVerne and Shirley until the fires consume us.

Bob, my thoughts are with you my friend.
I work closely with some HP engineers located in Boise, ID. They have been telling about all the fires/smoke out there this year...not good.

Stay safe my amigo and keep your family close...I'll be thinking of you and yours .

Bob, you're not weird to live where you do. Personally, I much rather put up with challenging elements of nature thnt living in a so called Paradise littered with a sea of people. The first thing a Californian notices about the Northern Plains is the skies (sunsets and sunrises). We get that simple pleasure every day and city dwellers can't even see the skies.

Zero2Cool (16h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (17h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (17h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
