there's one 3 blocks from my house and that's loud enough
With a few exceptions all the new construction and remodels use hardiboard. My, and most of the houses around here have cedar shingles that may be original to the house when built 100 years ago. And the cedar probably came from the trees that were cleared to build the houses in the first place. The first thing built in this town (before it got annexed by Seattle) was the lumber mill the wood in my house came from.
They don't actually use the siren much, just a fraction of the calls. Helps that the traffic lights are synched to give them a clear path when they leave.
Fair point. We live near a Greenway and the hood was briefly evacuated last year (two years?
) ago because some ding-dong dumped his hot can over the fence on a windy day.
It's the trucks leaving on a call that I always get full audio blasts of
Wildfires and yellow jackets. Yay. Can we please talk about something less anxiety inducing? Like politics or healthcare or something?
how often they post up on various street corners standing with the boot out looking for donations....
and if you dont pitch money....they know everyone in town...
the good kind of cancer!
It's a fire unit in
they don't need to beg
don't treat it like religion....
how far from out of town do people come in to maintain all those lawns.....
mostly reno and carson city these days, 1-1.5hrs depending on where at the lake
it's retail, airbnb cleaning, and homebuilding because any business with sanity involved left
"lawns" only exist at the true castles

You have a flame thrower in your pants?
I guess there are things about gingers I don't understand. I should have extrapolated that from the term "fire box".
what did you think they sold their souls for? Something as trivial as guitar lessons?
They do that in New England, and I always stop and contribute.
Fuck people are dum dums.Fair point. We live near a Greenway and the hood was briefly evacuated last year (two years?

yeah the fire insurance premiums here
I'll just say let your imagination run wild and you still wouldn't be there, even after doubling it

Meh, I bent a ti riser bar.
yeah, we've been staying in the blue ridge area for the past few years. so much great hiking. feels a lot like le pisgah but maybe less populated in general?
Well, Phil’s World is thuper duper fun. Great local tour, perfect temps, perfect trail moisture.
Wifey was ecstatic. Just what she likes.
I can see how some people not love it if it was too hot out, though.

I just rode up at a trail intersection on my dirtbike. There were two east bay looking dudes in their 50s with mountainbikes that I recognized as being very expensive. I said Hi how's it going as they stared at their phones and ignored me. I said howdy again. Nothing. One looked up from his hellastrava or some shit scowling at me and just said "is there anyone else behind you?"
I said yeah, five or six, I don't quite remember, some of them beginners so it might be a while, better wait here.
And then I left for the rest of my solo ride.

Have you installed that 2-Stroke Coal-Rolling Loud Pipe kit that I sent you?
Because THAT would have been the time.

I buy pretty quiet exhaust since I have to buy spark arrestors anyway. Pretty soon I'm just going to start running them over.
I gotta admit, Hiawassee looked like a place I could live. Not sure about mount biking trails though. Great outdoor town that's super hiker friendly. Picturesque surroundings.
how's jake these days?
