JHAM357

the rains help put the fire into smoldering mode. about 770 acres with 450 FF on scene. if its rains tonight lots of resources going to be released. i wouldnt worry too much about winds heading south. might be bad for the east and west heads but seems like the north head is biggest and a north wind would slow it down. just an outside observation though havent actually seen much of the fire but my dad lives up in east verde estates and as fast as that thing is moving i would think they would be on alert but again im not actually there.

Thanks Mike, I know that country and they have to be dipping from a tank and tenders There is not a water source even close to where they are going. Thanks for your experienced input. I have been following your post on WLF also. I agree with three, thats what I am counting. 2 small and the new larger one. sorry not mike, hes a good guy though..lol i just didnt know how many guys were checkin WLF so i was pasteing what mike wrote for the most part. some stuff is from me, i am a wildland firefighter, and have been listening to gila county scanner. ill try and answer any questions i can.

they set up a swimming pool looking deal then fill em from the water tenders, then fill up the bladders. also they are probably dipping from any private water source around. any questions call payson ranger district, they will help all they can.

thanks alot! jed seems to be just what i need (im a verizon carrier too, haha). so far so good, just waiting on a job, interview thursday for TLC supported living services, dont know much about them but the basics and waiting for the fire department to get back to me. other than that just enjoying the weather and hangin out.

loose lips sink ships.... i was thnking the same thing when there were some threads on help for spots to hunt in certain units and then reading the what units i was pretty pissed too. i kept thinking in my head " man theres a personal message deal to use on here". some of you might not want to know what unit so you can strt scouting that unit but those of us that hunt the unit mention we get a little pissed cuz theres more people that read a topic than post a reply. thewhole thing about inviting a couple buddies to your hunting spot is the worse thing to unless you know for sure youre the only they ever talk to or hang out with. you invite 2 friends next thing you knw they invite 2 more friends so theres 6 moe poeple hunting in your spot then those other four invite even 1 friend a piece, i think you get what im saying. i pride myself in finding my own spots to hunt like most here on the site, i learned my lesson when iwas hunting a years ago and a guy came walking up on and after talkin to him found out he was turned on to the spot by a friend of one my coworkers i that didnt hunt and i thought it was ok to talk to him about where i like to go...big mistake....

finaaly all the wait and anticipation is over. november 25th we welcomed maci to the family. 7lb 11oz, 21 1/2" long and somehow my wife did not use any drugs.

that is an awsome piture. it makesme laugh when i look at my grandpas hunting pics because he was always wearing a flannel and jeans, nothing like these days

thanks alot for your comments. yes we are so proud and still in awe every time i hold her or just look at her. i have lost little sleep, my wife told me sice she is off for awhile not to worry about getting up at night since she can sleep during the day. i was waiting and waiting for her to be born just to wear that shirt for ya. i tought you would like it! thanks again!!!

i know of a lot of old guys that hunt(buddies grandpa's, friends, etc.) but the oldest man i hunt with is my dad. he's only 52. its neet how when i was young he would teach me everything i know and show me where to hunt, wait for me when were hiking out, and i am showing him new spots, teaching him more that learn, and wait fr him to catch his breath. i just hope when even his age i can hike in places where he still hikes into.

i flipped to it and kieth urban was on so i changed it. i would like to slap him and that reptile lookin' kenny chensey . i dont think its all gone pop theres stil a few that can keep it country, maybe not old timin' western but def. not pop. i dont even like alot of "king" george's crap hes put out lately.

atleast we dont have to worry about terrorist attacks cuz obama is one of em'

pobably both, and the tora, book of mormon, a voo doo doll, crucifix whatever his "advisors" tell him to because god knows he wont be able to pick for himself.

they say history repeats itself and wuldnt be surprised if Obama is elected, there will be another assasonation or another civil war. and i am ready for thr war.

That is part of it for sure. These guys are not the best choices but they are who we have to choose from. I cannot believe any sane thoughtful person would vote for the inexperienced person in the times we have now. It is sad that race is playing a lot in this election and no matter what the outcome, it is also sad that it will not bring the country closer in race relations. i want to know why when a white says they dont want to vote for obama because he is black it is any different from a black person saying they are going to vote for obama because he is black. im so sick of hearing about race. race aside the guy is still an idiot, and from what i saw the ony race BO cares about is the full blooded african american he is(or wishes he could be)
