Bob,
It is just hard for me to believe how sensitive people are there about a little smoke prompting such an extreme reaction. Yet with wild fires seeming to become an increasing danger, I guess it is understandable. Nothing like that here in rural North Carolina, thank God.

I heard a recent radio transmission of fire department being dispatched for a potential forest fire
The report came back it was smoke from a muzzle loader. Guy was sighting in his hunting gun and Karen neighbor called it in saying āI canāt breathā
Ya. People areā¦ā¦ weirdā¦.

I know you guys live a long way away, but to not be able to hear a gunshot is pushing it if you are having issues with smoke. I wonder if the township will charge her for a the fake fire call.

Yes in these last years these days people are getting very very hard to deal with. If you do not do what they want and what they think is aceptable they call the cops on you, with even false claims because they can get away with it and not get into trouble. They use the Hot lines and need no acountability in their actions. Yes lots of evil people out there stiring up trouble now. DOW up here is with no signs or flags flying or flashing lights that might cause someone to call the hot line because you are doing something different and they can not or do not know to do it. Very sad but true.
But I am having another backyard fire tonight with the grandchildren. More charcoal making in progress the easy way. I might have enough charcoal to go 400 hundred miles now just from enjoying my backyard fires in a big metal firepit. They will not let me use my highbanker any more on the gold claims so I use it to classifly my black gold fuel from the ash. I store the charcoal with the ash in it and when the fire ban is placed back on I clean my charcoal up and store it. Damp clean charcoal is so nice to work with, no dust.
Up Date: No fire tonight , it started to rain. YES! Thank you Yehovah Almighty God, you are bring the much needed rain and snow into our part of the country. This will really help the firefighters in getting these fires fully contained. Well we will not be able to work our low water claims this year on Blewett Pass. The rain will bring the water in the creeks back up. But the erroision in the burn areas will bring new deposts into the creeks feeding the claims. So let it snow and rain all season long. We have not have had a really good run off for years now in this area.
