Looks menacing for sure, and when the sun is an orange glow, it is haunting..... at least the smoke isn't on the ground like it was here a few years ago, man it was hard to breathe....... I bet the air tanker action is incredible......McDermott Aviation and their 214's giving it heavy power I bet eh??

Tony, did you notice in one of those pics, the BACK of the prop had different colors about half way on each blade?

That's cool Harv..................

No kidding, I agree wholeheartedly

Any new updates , Ron?

Fidd................ this borderlines on PURE Genius, and incredible engineering ! Incredibly SPECTACULAR !

WOW , that was cool to watch...... some good stuff given away, like I said before, you guys are VERY generous....... Congrats Boys, maybe some cool WIP's coming..... great stuff Ernie... very fun to watch this come together ! Merry Christmas and all the best for the new years boys ! Jeff

It's always fun to get the others kids in trouble........................

I'm glad I can make someone laugh............... laughter is GOOD !

Yeah, me too................

Well said Dale, I find I am doing more 'building', by watching all the other guys here ( bulding vicariously ) it seems............ I am blown away by the fine engineering that goes on, even when they say OOB, well................. it isn't there is always a small detail that needs re-engineering to the fullest of detailed awesomeness..... I love coming here and getting my daily tutorial..... ALWAYS something to learn.............. always !

You too Danny, all the very best !

Thanks Phil, and I echo these sentiments to all of you guys.................... hard to believe another year and decade has slipped by already.......... man , time sure does fly..... cheers and all the best to you all.... Jeff

I sure don't understand some of these 'Experts".................... clearly a disconnect somewhere...... what a beautiful land you live in, man just gorgeous...............

On the home stretch now Pal..... only a couple more to go,.....!

Wumm,............... same thing here in British Columbia, I live ruraly , and the 'experts' are ALWAYS telling us to be 'Fire Smart", and they expend many dollars on advertising, and sending other 'experts' around the areas to leave pamphlets and 'information' on how to keep one's home 'Fire Safe". And much like you said, they want a 3 meter fire break around your house.................... well that's ok.................................. I guess, but we have trees 100 feet high, and when we get a good fire going , anyone with half a brain knows the embers fly more than 2 KM's !................................ This silliness is more for the towns, but again they have tall trees, and if you clean up the ground fuels, and your neighbor doesn't?............................this stems from interface fires that start out in the woods and then burn towns down..... and I would say that IF one puts cedar shakes on their roof...... even though they are 'fire proof'....... well maybe not such a great idea when you live in a fire prone area............. we, also , like you folks have done not a lot in our forests to clear out potential fuels, due to some of the same style protesting of the environmentalists, and yes now it is an issue.... also a lot of Insurance companies are not paying up, and then the Provincial Government gets involved and it quickly becomes a night mare..... personally I think we have far too many 'experts', telling us what to do, and far too many governments bowing to the protesters of the environment ( NOT that , that isn't something to consider ), BUT maybe we, who live in an area, and know the area, should be allowed to do what we think and know is what we need to do...... to protect our own ............... your last sentence says it all, my friend...... with that said, ................ fire is so devastating, and from us up here in the wet Canada, ( at the moment) we wish every one a safe path through these fires, and hope they will very soon subside...... stay safe down there.......

This would be 'my' first choice...

Thanks Rob, I will tell Cathy I have a prescription from the "Doc"...... I'M IN !!!

Yeah, me too !

I just saw a post on our weather network where a guy in Oz cooked a pork roast on the seat of his Datsun !! Left it in the cab of the truck for 10 hrs and it coked perfectly he said !
