Not sub related but this time of year I have my hands full managing the land we live on. Took down four 120’ tall pine trees near the shop over the last couple days. It was a technical removable to drop them in a small area. Just another day living in the fire prone Sierra mountains of California. Hoping to get back to the sub work once this season is over

You certainly have a nice shop in a very beautiful place for building submarines! How fortunate you are, and I hope you do not face any of the ragging fires that are burning up CA.

"Firemen can stand the heat"
We’ve already had a number a very close calls this year with the fires raging around us nearby here in the Sierra Mountains. About two weeks ago was the closest call so far this year. The smoke from the Calder and Dixie fires has been real bad this past week. Years of poor forest management, drought and politics are just a few reasons California is in the position it is in with these large wild land fires. I don’t even want to get started talking about the main utility company whose years of neglect of their equipment have been responsible for starting a number of these large fires or our Governor who has essentially protected the company from being held accountable. It’s a mess.
Best I can do is make sure our land is kept fire hardened and prepared.
