It would appear life is never not exciting for you Greg.

Hope they get a handle on the fire soon.

Brother up in Flag had strikes within 0.2 miles of his place. One south of him got something going but they jumped on it quick. Safe for now, but who knows about today.

Hoping nothing gets going here, like someone dragging a trailer chain. Yesterday at about 5Pm it was 91F with 5% humidity and 26 MPH gust and a steady 20 blowing.

And here I was grumbling about the heat wave, it was like 85F and chit. I feel better now, no offense.

It's at 1400 acres or so. No containment. Rain in Tucson, dry lightning down here which is how it started. 2 other small fires started but were put out fast.

This photo was taken from Tucson about 11 PM last night, about 30 miles away from fire...

It should run out of fuel in a few days or so unless there's a north wind, which happens about twice a year....😁.

They are taking it serious as slurry is being dropped....

It's supposed to be 114 today too, all sorts of record heat....

Stay safe Greg. I know you can handle the bees and snakes, not sure about those fires though. Scary deal.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

GW,
Just checking if it’s safe to come out from under the bed?

Fricken killer bees and poisonous snakes, and all before breakfast.

SMH 🤦🏾‍♀️

Grins.

I am on the side. My main job is bee removal from personal or commercial properties and subsequent construction. These specific bees got nuked as there were 10+ houses within 100 yards...

All I deal with professionally are feral Africanized bees...

Good grief Greg, that's a high risk job! Somebody from the Discovery channel should follow you around and start a new series.

Let's see. You live in Arizona, but probably not close to Phoenix. If you bookmark this channel there's some good Bible that covers those challenges that you're facing. I highly recommend the church. Here's a sample.
