CWR(>.10)...........90 PERCENT." I read that type of forecast for 2 other zones as well, making several zones together (since a few of the zones share the same weather).

So its been in the low 60s lately, raining alot still. But the 60 degree weather is so much more temperate than Yreka's freezing weather. And it stays this way year-round. Summer 65-75, winter 55-65. 20 degree difference whereas Yreka could go from 110 down to 10.

GO LAKERS!! waitin on game 1 tonight.

Only been on 6 days total but love the job so far. Right up my alley without the law enforcement side of things. Life seems so much more laid back already. So nice to get out of the law enforcement side of life. Dealing with fires only is more up my alley and reflects from back when I was a firefighter. I'm already picking things up quickly and really enjoy how things work. We dispatched several people to fires in Alaska almost exclusively from the computer. Orders come in from North-Ops (i Redding), we pull a query for our forest, and a list of names pops up as to who is qualified for that position.

It feels like electronically dispatching. We filled orders for a radio operator, strategic site manager, equipment recorder, helicopter crew-member, and 2 others. Made some people happy so early in the fire season. So within an hour of receiving th eorder, we had plane trips set up for them leaving the next day to Alaska; pretty cool!

Last night the family I live with invited me over for dinner; they smoked a turkey outside all day and we had that, mashed potatoes, corn, and a salad. Very awesome of them!! Rearranged my apartment. Been sipping off a my growler (have to get a pic up today of the Growler).

Did some work outside, goofed around, rdy to go back to work morrow. Laterz all
