Light posting tonight -- stuff to do and a fire to go and watch
Working on getting a truck ready to move out. It is a 20' Chevy C-30 with a rebuilt engine and it was a good stout-hearted beast and served us well for moving up to the farm but it had been languishing for a few years. The brakes were failing and I could not find the leak so a few days ago, I posted an advertisement on a local barter forum and got a call from someone who will be picking it up at the end of this week.
Spending the next day or two getting it cleaned out and ready to be towed.
Also, while I was working at home today, I saw a huge gout of smoke coming from South East of the farm. I didn't get a handle on the distance as it was so big so I drove in and found it. This was an active logging site, it seems that they had felled and bucked the wood and were hauling it out when the fire started. Later today, there were "water bottles" flying overhead dropping fire retardant.
I already shot some distance photos this afternoon and am planning to go out when it gets dark with the good camera (Nikon D1X) and telephoto and shoot some fire shots. See what I can get...
