Got her home yesterday, she's doing OK.  Since they can't do chemo for a while they are going to start radiation next week.  And the Cancer Dr said the tumor has shrunk with just two chemos. 

[Major 2]

Thanks for the call, good talking to you yesterday while you were standing by to get her home.

Afternoon all.

Currently 68 and sunny, headed for low 80s and possible t storms.

Been spending a lot of time out in the woods of late, though not fighting fires. Pretending to fight fires, just not the real deal.    Definitely don't get hazard pay for that. Spent one whole day up in the town of Coffee Creek showing the crew of a fill-in engine around the area. They're from Oregon and just filling in until our forest decides to staff our engine that normally lives there. Anyway, it was ten hours of driving back roads in a fire engine, so could be worse.

Yesterday and today are my regularly scheduled days off, and I took the opportunity to hike up to my favorite mountain lake with the dog. It's a special hike, as my best friend and I used to do it every year in May or June (whenever the snow melted), and this was the first time I've been able to do it since he died in 2021. Weather was perfect, and in a poetic twist of fate, the snow on the back side of the mountain was too deep to get all the way to the lake, just like so many times when I'd go with him.

Del, try to avoid those helicopter rides. They're less fun in a gurney.

Came close once, nobody including me knew what was going on in Sept of 2019, 75 miles from a heart hospital, no cell service or vehicle closer than a half mile.  All the Drs agree I needed a couple Nitro and a helicopter ride.  Did the logical thing, drank some iced tea, rested in the shade about 5 minutes, got my picture taken to show how wore out the old man got, then I went back to cooking.

Well, today was interesting. The Missus had lunch with a friend from church who had been in my intro class a couple weeks ago. She wanted to meet up at the LGS as she wanted a different gun, easier for her to handle. So we met up after their lunch and she picked out a Charter Arms 38 after trying a bunch of different guns. While she was buying that, my Missus found a Leopard Ruger 10/22 and took that home too! Then a gent came in who likes vintage guns and I wound up selling him a mint 1903A3! Told the boss I should have been on the payroll.

Morning all.

Had a fire last night, right in time to make overtime. It was in town, and they had it pretty well under control by the time they called us, but we put in some good work for a few hours. It was a good time.

Got hit by a few thunderstorms yesterday, so we'll see if we get any more overtime.

Well yesterday it hit 101 here then some evening storms knocked  it down to 71. Already back to 83 heading for 95 and looking at 100s again later in the week. Anyway, gonna head into work this afternoon after running a couple of errands. Will boresight the 270 at the shop with the "new" Leupold on it. Y'all be good and TK be careful with those fire calls.

Only got to 94 today, but the rest of the week is predicted just plain nasty, in the 100s til Monday. Fought with putting a new mainspring in the 1866 and got tired of questioning the heritage of those involved in it's design and build. Gonna call another CAS shooter nearby for some help tomorrow. So took Lady C to dinner and then we watched some TV.

Morning Slim and the rest of you scoundrels! 88 here already, heading for 101. The next few days are gonna be rough temperature wise all over so you all take care. Working this afternoon and all day tomorrow, hope the shop's AC is up to snuff for this. Lady C went to the beautician yesterday and came back a blonde! It looks good on her and I am getting in trouble with blonde jokes. Y'all take care, especially if you gotta be out in this heat.

[Delmonico]

Was 101 here yesterday, not sure about today had an early T Storm.
