Around Houston they are just running aircraft into them to bring them down.
It is ridiculous to me that they all but erased the use of gin poles for these decoms.
I would sacrifice thousand dollar pumps to save million dollar structures.
Firemen can tear up an anvil with a loaf of bread. We break shit. It's the cost of doing business.
You are going to have a hard time finding any new Fire Engine less than $1M.
Trucks are around $3M.
And fix it back to operational with a wire coat hanger and riggers tape.
Granted, my background is Mountain/Desert Wild-land, but physical access to the water to fill the engines is a big part of the equation. Engines sunk to the axels in sand don’t help anyone. Do those communities have developed drafting points to utilize the sea water?
I season my cast iron with either lard or beef tallow. Never use seed or vegetable oil.
Motivational to me anyway… One day only sale for $30 lowers; limit 5 per household:
Yes, the FFL transfer fee will likely double that price, and after all that rigmarole they’re still cheap-ass Anderson lowers. That said, I’ve built up a few of these over the years and have yet to find one out of spec. I might not bet my life on the metallurgy holding up to hard use and abuse, but wouldn’t hesitate to use one as long as I built it, or know and trust the person doing the lower assembly.
I see this as a good opportunity to stock up for potential future needs; these would be a good starting point for “loaner” guns for friends and neighbors if the need ever arose. Family still gets the good stuff, LoL.
Edit: just ordered 5, plus another Aero lower for the ranch. Also found an FFL that will do the transfer for $15, and he does multiple transfers even cheaper.

It’s my understanding that sea state is the biggest problem for them not using sea water. Can’t scoop and get the plane/chopper rocked by a ground swell. Wind isn’t forecasted to subside till mid-week. These fires are far from out.
Do some research and be mindful of the temperature depending on the fat you use. I've done Crisco at 350°. I've always liked me some fat in the can.
$150 Billion in damage so far. 200 new fire engines at $3 Mil each is a rounding error in comparison. A 1000 new engines barley moves the needle.
That number is somewhat inflated. Valuing homes at market price is wrong. The land (arguably the most valuable portion of that number in California) still exists. Insurance companies do the same shit with your homeowners policy annually
These shit life choices ain’t gonna pay for themselves
yes,but the property will be cheaper for Soros et al if the house is a pile of ash.
Bob Keller of Gamut Resolutions, no “scary beard”, no tattoos, one of the most chill guys that you will ever train with but saw over 400 gunfights in his 24 years in the Army (most of that in CAG).
STFU and quit bitching about my diet, my mostly clean asshole ain’t gonna lick itself
There is some information here. Basically he ( Jim Fitzgerald) gifted it to Linda after he won the National Championship with it. She was a talented driver that he was helping along. As I work on this car and see the way he did things I think if he had worked on the Titanic it would still be a float. I'll get some more information I just have to find it.

If you know who this is you need to schedule a prostate exam because you’re old as fuck
Yeah, but they're not "freckled..." That ain't Alfred E. Newman!
