My third day at the helibase, fourth day of working on this fire. The heat was much lower today, only getting into the mid eighties. The other days it had been in the mid to upper nineties, and other crews … Continue reading →
Day 21 of the fires and once again I was down in Redway with a crew from Ferndale to provide crash rescue support for the helibase. The second time it was a bit easier because we knew what to expect, … Continue reading →
I thought it would be fun to have one model wear several of the bias gowns from the collection in a multiple exposure (pun intended). Since today was so warm, I called Kate up and went out after work to … Continue reading →
This is one more hat from Kate’s collection. Today I did nothing but yard work, and the after picture wasn’t as impressive as Grandma’s so I didn’t bother taking one.

This weekend Ferndale is having a city wide garage sale. Residences and businesses throughout the city are holding garage sales, and we’re doing our part to rid Ferndale of its useless and unwanted junk. Or at least it’s going to … Continue reading →
Yesterday, going to work the weather looked like the fog was burning off and it was going to be another nice day. I had a meeting in Rio Dell and during the drive over it started clouding up and just … Continue reading →
During the last part of yesterday’s ride, I finally found a spot in Humboldt County where the water was actually very comfortable to swim in. So I went back home, and then Lori and I went back to watch the … Continue reading →
