Just when you think it can't happen again...........it does. Big lightning storm yesterday without any rain and a bolt hit on the mountainside just across from us. Instantly everyone on our street was outside and wham, bam, thank you mam, the whole side of the mountain is lit up like 10,000 Tiki Torches.

It's directly across from us and the Bitterroot River is between the fire and us, but they are evacuating the East View housing subdivision right now. Neighbor Chuck and I are going to set up a Bratwurst and Beer stand on the street and try and make some money from this.

Right now the wind is in our favor, but it it shifts to the East like they are predicting later today........we're going to be out of here again. The river will help some, but with crown torching and the wind blowing it would take a huge clear area to keep embers from blowing our way.

A young couple down the block was watching and they said, "We moved here from Ohio for this????"

I replied, "Hey, this is our summer and fall entertainment package. Plus you don't have to pay Dish or DirectTV for the added channels.....the air show of retardant tankers flying 500 feet above your head.

So....without further ado, I'm going back to watch.

About two dozen are on the grill now. By 4pm our time we should have quite a crowd here. Chuck has the Leinenkugels on ice and we're set to go. The air show is amazing. I don't know how they keep that many planes and helicopters from smacking into each other. We just counted 15 aircraft in the air at one time.....4 retardant tankers, 4 SkyCrane helicopters....3 Hueys with water buckets, and 4 spotter planes flying up above all this.

But, we're good so far.

It's nature's cleansing Bob. Hope you stay safe. I've got a buddy that lives out that way and he's a professional outfitter. Lucky fvckr gets to go fishing and hunting for a living. I have some fresh honey if you have the preserves.

We're good so far. It rained some last night which helped and it seems to be settling down. Not much activity fire-wise now, just creeping along in the grass and duff.

Dakota...I'll check with my friends and see if they have any jam from this year's pick of the Huckleberries.

We're fine. The fire kind of petered out after three days when it came to a bulldozed road horizontally cut across the mountainside. Then we got some rain. Now we look at a 3000 acre burned spot on the hillside directly across from us. But next spring it will be green again and the mushrooms will be growing by the thousands. Now, if I just new what kind you can eat.

BTW.....summer left in a hurry. It's snowing lightly today with heavier snow above 5000 feet.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : No time for talking! Back to work beast!
beast (15h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (18h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (21h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (21h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (21h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (21h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (21h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (21h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (21h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (21h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (21h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (22h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (22h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (22h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Kickoff rules officially changed.ngthy explan
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : lol
Cheesey (26-Mar) : 2009? No thanks! One open heart surgery is enough!
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Good for you!
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Yes. That's the one.
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Is that "Lady Dugan" per chance?
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Crystal?
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Please refresh my memory
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Alan posts. Crystal back in my life. It's 2009 all over again! Lol
Mucky Tundra (26-Mar) : BAH GAWD! THAT'S CHEESEYS MUSIC!
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Gutekunst said early stages of Jordan Love contract being discussed.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
