I’m at 85% chance now that when PGE is gonna cut power, they cut mine.

I guess that’s better than burning down my trailer on the new property before i even build my new house? But shit man!
It’s all fucking bad.
That Paradise/Camp fire anniversary is like next week, right?

Not that I want to bring up any run for your fucking life memories.

You got a lot done though so far.

Power has been out since 5:56pm here. Now if the trees will stay put everything should be ok. :)
Around 6pm here too. You got generator bro?

I finally hooked my new gen up to the main panel the other day so now my well pump works(240v). Only thing left to do is go buy the biggest propane tank they’ll bring out here without permits, which is a 100gal. Then i’ll be set.

I was wondering how many RIU Californians are being affected by the fires/ outages. And with high wind warnings, oufta. Would send you all some our weather if could. Farmers have late harvest with wet fields and the rivers are high for fall. Stay safe everyone

My house burned down in The Camp fire last year. Although you might hear me complain about these power outages I’m really not that pissed that they’re shutting it off now. I’m still fucking pissed they didn't shut the shit off last year after warning us for 4 days that they were going to. But they didn’t and my whole town burned down. Fuckers!

Yes, Just moved it around next to the panel today, still using cords but mounting it in an insulated incloser (walk in refer panels) so it will be quiet. :D

My generator runs off natural gas, all I ever have to do is change the oil and filter every couple years.

Before I got it, we lost power every damn storm.

We've had 2 outages in the 3 years I've had it. Not complaining though. They are damn nice to have when it goes dark. Furnace or AC never misses a beat and the lights keep on shining in the closet.

Is it a Generac? I've watched their infomercials while stoned several times, and I don't even own a house. That's how good they are (or that's how high I was)...

I'm in airports and talk to the mistress of the sky often. So if you where to take off from death valley if your altitude based on sea level you're negative? and your elevation is realative to the ground? I can't get a real answer but can see them blush through a 1/4" of makeup

LOL you're talking to the wrong people. They don't let the sky waitresses drive the plane. Altitude is AGL (above ground level), you never want to be negative AGL or it means you've cratered in.

Someday you may hit one that will discuss altimeters and the importance of barometric pressure in an IFR landing.

Watching the news. It's all about the evacuations and the weather event. It's dry and windy. The kinkade fire is burning fast. Only 10% containment with 35000 acres burned and 79 structures destroyed. 180,000 under evacuation... power is out to 100s of 1000s...
I'm kinda close to Santa Cruz, which has had some decent fires... anyway parts of gilroy will lose power. I should be good but I know a few people that will lose their power.

Yesterday late afternoon I noticed a strong orange haze and dilute smoke to the east of Paso Robles. I thought a new fire started up; turns out it was smoke drift from Kincaide.

I noticed the smoke yesterday as well. This morning there was an orange haze vs sunshine. The fires down south aren't much better. 2 weeks ago we were in Ventura. 2 of our friends were supposed to come over from Palmdale area but chp shut the freeway down and they weren't able to make it.
Fire season overshadows summer and fall around here.
