The good news is that the forecast cool front whooshed through with less extreme lighting, wind and hail than forecast.
The bad news is that even with the less extreme, there were something like 30 new fire starts. BUT, the big fires were not impacted by wind and did not jump fire lines.
Still.
Given that there are large fires in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Canada… we are smokin’
It smells like a very bad, very stale cigar…
At least it is cool…cooler.
And despite the smell and the anxiety that smoky conditions create…
It is beautiful in an eerie sort of way.
The light, filtered through smoky skies, is unique.
Meanwhile… in this cool break we are regrouping…
One of my fans…it had a creepy amount of dust and hair on and in it. I spritzed it with a vinegar-water mix and then hosed it off. It is drying and hopefully I did not kill the motor with water, etc.
Onward to some catching up.
I’ve had Windows 10 on 2 devices for a bit over 2 weeks. No glitches on either device and no issues with Windows 10. I continue to LOVE it. As I’ve read comments from those who do have issues, the thing that springs to mind is “gamers” and those with older devices/drivers. I don’t have much in the way of oddity other than my work environment. And even though my work environment is mostly Microsoft, it is not 100% Microsoft (DevExpress tools) and believe it or not…Microsoft stuff does NOT always play nice with other Microsoft stuff but currently, it all does.
Whatever, I continue to be VERY Happy with Windows 10.
A kind of silly thing I love in Windows 10 is the Weather app. It does not have some of the detail that I go to in NOAA, but it is a wonderfully complete and easy to “read” picture of current weather… including sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset…
And historical info.
I am in Weather info heaven!
We be smokin’
