Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The drought has broken

I don’t think I’ve seen rain since maybe early to mid June? It’s pretty dry.

We had a hot stretch right before the fourth, but it’s been pretty typical since. 75-85 and sunny. Supposed to get up to 88 by Friday.

Nights stay cool. Mid 50’s.

SIL just left the Dixie fire today after a long stint up there. Hoping it stops for you, but 2 more days of 100 won't help.

Son's Station is at the Tamarack fire, he'll probably be sent up there soon.

The Tamarack area is my summer camping area, I've been going there for 40+ years. Grover's hot springs, Markleeville I think got saved but not much else. Several of our favorite hiking spots got torched. From Raymond lake, wet meadows, The PCT and markleeville peak all got hammered from poor decisions of not putting out a few smoldering tree's before they ignited and spread near wet meadows. Sad

what kind of car is a two passenger.. most cars here are 4 passengers..

Yeah, the English language can be strange that way.

Guess I might have said the passenger cars, two of them.....................

But in any case our cars are basically "two passenger" vehicles, unless you count the dog when we take them. Both are hatchback types. One a 2003/4 Matrix in which I don't believe the back seats have ever been used, they're folded down so the dogs crates could fit in them. On the 20167 RAV4, I know of one instance in which I took the dog crates out and lifted the seats back up so I could play driver to me and 3 friends for a get together 100 miles away. Never used those back seats in the nearly 5 years we've owned it.

Either way, what I typed is OK by me.

I wouldnt know what to do if I lived in a blissful environment where my leather gloves didnt have green mold grow on them overnight, or the steering wheel of my truck white pasty mildew on it and the door handles in 3 days parked in the garage. Or having bread that lasted more than a couple days.
Fingerprint turns to rust on a rifle barrel in 6 hours.

Or dang, imagine how awesome it would be have my reloading set up in an outside metal shop without my dies rusting. Can’t leave dog food out in feed cans, turns to mush and sours. Hay gets moldy PDQ too.

Black mold on all the tractor controls and mower steering wheels.

It didnt rain here one year 2007 for about 3 months. Holy crap we were able to pour two big patios, redeck and re shingle 46 squares of roofing a paint the whole house, stain all three decks. A summer of uninterrupted improvements. Oh well, those were good times. I like knocking chit out and moving on to the next job.

About every afternoon is a 30-50% of rain and 90% humidity.

I hate that you all it so extreme the opposite. I’d trade you some mold and mildew and half of our rain.


These tomatoes are killing it too. Aggravation things, supposed to be non determinates. Must be the rain.

What about those fág wagon mazda miatas?

2 passenger.

How much rain is "normal" there in a year?

You visited a couple years back where I used to live on the Coast, by the redwoods.

I know about all that stuff you posted. Opened up a car door I hadn't used in a couple of months and there was moss growing on the floorboard next to the seat. Not mold, moss, like what grows on trees and rocks. That crap even grew in the drip gutters on the cars we used regularly!

60" + the last winter we lived there. We'd get a break though, from June until Oct or so, very little rain. Just fog coming in from the ocean when it heated up inland and sucked the cold air in off the ocean. Even in a greenhouse I could barely get tomatoes to ripen.

Made for some nice big trees though.

I never owned one.

Or a real sports car.

Prolly be Ded like Roy an' Dusty if I had.

I just heard about Dusty.

Has anyone started a thread?


VomitGuy should get on that.

I'd start one, but I'm sure I'll find a new one in the morning.

NO duplicates necessary!

resolution means I can't tell if that is 0.01" or 0 01m aka 1CM..
when yiu are that dry, too much too soon is a bad thing..

We measure in inches here. 0.01"
