Wow, I use my iPad every day even though I have multiple computers and an iPhone. Some of my uses are:
Kindle Books, free books from BookBub. I can't fall asleep at night without reading.
Phone when I'm upstairs and the phone rings while on the charger downstairs (yes it works as a phone)...
You guys better watch out, criticizing Apples' AI auto complete may turn your iPhones into it's version of the "Trapper Keeper 2000" and gain sentience with the aim to conquer the world.
Or it just may overheat and stop working......
Is this the same costal commission that stopped the desalinization plant for Orange County? Ah...
Yeah, I read that.
Just like when they decided to close a number of fire roads in the BNF. They did their due-diligence and environmental impact report which stated that closing the FS roads...
I love how when people move from the warmer to the colder/snowy climates the first thing they do is trade their car for a big 4X4. Invincible at 65 mph during a snowstorm.......until they try to stop.
You can always tell how many new arrivals are in the area by the number of slide offs...
Though you can't really tell from this photo, it was pretty slick yesterday especially where the road was in the shade all day. Went out in 4A and back in Mud/Ruts. Could not tell the difference.
Yeah, itโs nuts that there are so many failures.
Went hunting yesterday with my buddy who started his carrier as a smoke jumper in Alaska and retired as the Nevada State Fire Management Officer for the BLM.
When we first met (some 20-odd years ago) he defended some (not all) of the practices...
Thanks for finding this. There was another one showing Washington State forest going back the late 1800's that I had but unfortunately, I lost those photos and these to a hard drive crash.
I used those along with this:
in dealer training on Wildland Fire Apparatus (the red depicts Federal...
True, but unfortunately, you and I, as not being politicians, don't have much say (read $) in how our public lands are cared for.
Its a shame what is happing there. My son lives on the east side of the Palisades and was given a evacuation warning. Luckily the winds shifted south and he did...
Yeah, but 25 subscribed burns is nothing. They are only doing 2K of the 15K acres planned and that is nothing considering that the feds (BLM & USFS, etc.) control 47,797,533 acres.
It a way it does. Not to contradict you but the land around LA is owned by either Interior (BLM) or Agriculture (USFS) and the photos show the outcome of, as you mentioned, fire suppression just in a different area. Case in point, In October 2024 the current administration canceled controlled...
Nope, I was behind him at an event and followed him through some 24 degree (if I recall correctly) side-hills in my HE. It looked pretty damn stable.
Edit: I can't seem to find the CG of the Bronco but I suspect that adding 350+# of unsprung weight did not move it up much.
I use 4A most of the time when traveling to and from the airport when it snows. On the trails I hit 4A as soon as I hit dirt. Where I go there are 2 lane, main dirt roads that are steep and have areas of washboard, pea-gravel. In 2H I find my self sliding a bit at speed where 4A keeps the...
