Catfish woke my up early this morning – no apparent reason. The news is showing miles of fire line. The first blaze started at County Road 82B and Highway 16 just before 1 a.m. The second fire started at County Road 14 at Highway 505. The third fire is burning at County Road 12A and Highway 505 north of Zamora. The fourth, burning at County Road 19 and Highway 5 is beginning to merge with the fire north of Zamora. There is another fire near Travis Air Force Base at a ferilizer company. The winds are blowing with 40MPH gusts. Amazing news video before sunrise – a world of fire as far as the camera panned.
Todays plans (silly me) are now changed. I was planning on setting up the pontoon and working on installing the fish finder and transponder. I thing the boat would take flight! I am disappointed as I motivated my sorry butt to the hardware store and robbed my piggy bank to purchase some PVC pipe, nuts and bolts, a spring, and a velcro tie down strap.
The OptioWP is off to the shop today. I think it is dead and will be sent back to Pentax repair – it is under warranty – but ya know how that can go.
Now a car fire just started a grass fire near the Sacramento International Airport
ugh….I’ll be so glad when fire season is behind us!
Thanks for the nice comments this morning — I needed that. Today is going to be a bear, I’m afraid. 🙁
