Sorry I Haven't Been Active Much

This is great news, and we'll keep both of you in our prayers.

Thank you everyone.  A few have shown concern about the fires out here.  Since I live in Anaheim Hills, my home was directly in the path of the canyon fire. I had to take a fire road to enter the back end of my neighborhood but was able to get my wife, guns, and most of my really important artifacts out just as the house started filling with smoke.

The hill on which my house stands did burn but the hard work of OCFA Station 9 saved my neighborhood.  The fire line came to within 50 feet of my house and was stopped.  I hiked back 4 miles to see if I still had a house and got to meet and thank these guys. Two days later, the last hot spots on my hill were cold and we had a home to return to.

All these things in life build character and I am truly grateful for what I have.

My Dear Dave -

Good news about your home, and better news about your wife's continuing recovery.

If you Remind me I will send some articles about improvements that can make a home "fire-resistant".
The Aussies even mounted water sprinklers on their roofs!

Dang, Dave, I have been away, and you have had a very hard, steep trail. Looks like you have made it to flat ground, with the good Lord's help. Hope your wife is in remission or cured.
