18. One more day! Then one more week.

Wed Oct 25, 2017, 02:11 AM

Oct 2017

It was 95 degrees about 90 minutes ago in the Irvine/Tustin Ranch area, 85 degrees now at 11 PM. Winds blowing at about 25mph. We get a fire with high winds and it could get really ugly, Napa/Sonoma Valley ugly. We have made it through two nights, if we make it through tonight we have a good chance to get through this fire season. High 80s for the rest of the week, wind has taken the moisture out of everything, my fescue glass feels like hay and the sprinklers ran yesterday.

We won't be fully out of danger until next week, but so far no fires. Cleaned out the garage as best as possible on Sunday, this weekend it will be clearing out all paint and flammable items.
