The River fire just exploded 10 miles from our house. They hit it with all they got: 2 DC-10's, 2 C130's, a dozen other airplanes. forgot to mention helo's also.
Still it went from 100 acres to 1400 acres in 4 hours. 0% contained ! :geek: we're ready to go if needed.
Colfax is evacuated. I-80 is still open. Better check first if going on 80 tomorrow

Here in Western Washington we're having another heat wave. It's not as bad as the last one but we're having today, and the next two days in the 90s, with some places reaching triple digits.

I bought this little beauty after the last one and it works great

Yup. We have one of those in the bedroom. It does the trick when we need it to.

Unforeseen consequence of heat waves #789:

Dog Droppings. It's like no dog owners want to go more than 150 feet from their front door. And they're certainly less keen on picking it up.

I used to use portables in our upstairs bedroom because the window opens sideways. I found them more expensive, less effective and less reliable than a window unit. Got a window unit and built a 2x4 frame to hold it the window.

We only use ours a week or two a year so the portable is perfect. Ours is pretty efficient and doesn’t seem to affect our bill much.

We just got over a week of temperatures right around 90°. I would get up about 5:30, open the all the doors and windows and put the big box fans blowing for a couple of hours. This would keep the house cool until the early afternoon, then fire up the portable AC. This worked great for keeping the house right around 74°. We are now back to natures air conditioning, on shore flow from the Pacific.
