    Well, we're glad you're doing that in Oklahoma. Now I'm sure I don't want to live there.

    We've been watching the C130 flying low over the valley all day until about 5 pm. They've been circling up the St.Vrain Divide to the Continental Divide and back east every 7 minutes. Doing practice water bombing runs. Fun to watch got lots of pics. There's a smaller transport plane and a twin engine spotter running with the big plane.

    When the Angels flew over the city with the smoke show, I was standing in line at the junk yard. One guy apparently didn't realize this was planned, and with a completely straight face he asked out loud, "What do you think they're spraying?"

    They're just harmless chemtrails. Pay no attention.

    Great photos, thanks Hoser. What was your role on the plane? Interesting the tanks and slurry mixer that goes on the plane. Apparently the discharge pipe can be seen on the left side of the plane behind the wing.

    We weren't able to see the water drops yesterday but today I was up the mountain at Beaver Reservoir and watched multiple drops over the St. Vrain Divide. Here's a couple of shots:

    Hoser, you sit in the back, correct? Can you get to the front if you want to, or does that equipment occupy all space between you and the pilots?

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Saw them cruising up and down the hogback from Chatfield area a few days ago. Very nice!

    We did a repaint of a relatives home that was close to the Boulder Canyon fire several years ago. The house had lots of splatters of retardant all over from airdrops to contain the fire. It worked, the home was saved.

    The stucco finish needed repainted (Big house) and that stuff really does a job on prefinished colored gutters/downspouts.

    I'm calling Gov. Polis to suggest they add some KILZ paint primmer to the fire retardant when fire bombing homes in Boulder
