So, FT lowered their discount from 20% to 15%.
It's still a discount and I'm going for it but they should have honored their original offer.
ProVape is barely limping along. Seems they are down to nine mods/colors total. it is sad to watch an American company fold without so much as a whimper. I am not anywhere near so sad for me/us as for their workers.
Where the hell is Deb, among many others?
Yes, can't see how they aren't being hit by it. That is south of us and I'm not sure what severity of drought they were in but I doubt it's much less than us. Not a great picture but representative of us here.
"Our" lot would look like the big brown patch, luck of the draw at the moment. We have over 100 dead trees, less than 10 over 10' surviving. On the other hand, when they fall or are cut down, we'll have one heck of a view of the heavens with no light pollution to obscure it.
CDF has harassed us too. I tell them the brush, away from the house is, truthfully, cover/forage for the wildlife and we're not clearing it, period, end of discussion. They complain about an abandoned shed surrounded by brush. Tell them we don't care if the shed burns, a bunch of rabbits have a home under it and the brush will not be removed. They (CDF, aka Cal Fire) are good with it.
If you aren't home when they survey the property, have them come out and explain why you aren't doing whatever and agree to the consequences. I was a firefighter in the USFS and thought our local CDF guys were some of the laziest I'd ever seen. In other locations they rocked. Anyway, face-to-face communications may help.
Oh, I agree with the erosion assessment. Some idiot(s) came in while we were out of state and trenched a culvert outlet without permission which is now causing erosion problems.
@Krisma, welcome to the porch! I really like your view from there and hope you bring your wildlife friends on over here, we love wildlife!
Jup, do avoid Iffy's cushions at all costs.
(Ever going to post here again Iffy? I miss you terribly.

Okay, yay for the scale!!! Hope the errands go well. Yay/boo/hiss for the medial stuff, hope it doesn't hit you too hard and the payoff if over the moon. Puppy time, priceless.

those darn beetles eh? I have friends that love to camp in the Sierra Nevada's and they posted pics of what those pesky beetles have done. I used to go to church camp at Hume Lake and I believe they hit that area too

After six days of rain the sun is shining today and no dark clouds in sight. The weeds are flourishing on the hillside and the dog is happy because his walks are back on schedule. The weeds help with erosion however in the spring the city will send out weed abatement notices to clear weeds and brush to prevent brush fires.
