I got up a little bit before
the alarm went off at 0545. Got ready and left right about 0700. No
traffic on the road and made the time arrived at Delilah
at 0840. Now to haul all the stuff up to the top of 80 feet above the
car. A little bit different than hauling stuff up to Park
Ridge
which is only 20 ft.

Coming into Delilah there was
a lot more on the road then they're usually is. No cows but there was
work being done over on Millwood Road on McKenzie
Ridge.
Wendy send out an email later on saying that they were getting ready
possibly for another prescribed burn there. Then met a couple of
electrician trucks who is looking for a cabin but wasn't sure where.
Their supervisor was about two miles down the road looking for where
looking for the address which he had.

I got everything up and
situated by 0910. Took the weather and went into service at 0930. I
had meant to bring along Sherri laptop but I forgot it. So I'm doing
everything on my iPad and phone like looking up the weather and
staffing. That is pretty easily done just looking at things is a bit
harder not nearly as nice as Sherri laptop.
Last time I was at Delilah,
Kathy and I talked a bit afterwards. She reported that the next
person after us had a bat fly out of the cab. Today I had a dead bird
on the catwalk. Looks like it had gotten stuck trying to come up
through the grates. I put some gloves on me and disposed of the bird.

| Dinner at Delilah for one |
After the 1000 weather I got
out Celeste. The telescope was able to pick out some things for me
and I played around with that in between doing my scans. There is not
much activity around our area-radio is pretty silent. So in some ways
it makes it easier to to do the scans to look for the smokes, I do
not need to divide my attention as much to the radio. There is not
much to perk ones attention while doing the scans. I use the
binoculars, but once I pick up something interesting, I use Celeste
to verify what I see. I did not find any smokes today, which is a
good thing. Note: something interesting can be anything from a cloud
formation, something on top of a far peak or activity along a road.
With things being quiet, I add
in the radio channel for SEKI. Even there, it is mostly traffic stop
chatter. Not too much happened this day. So at 1800 went out of
service. Then had my dinner of a cheese omelette. After dinner, went
down for a walk , where a pleasant sunset was taking place. When I
got back, called up Sherri, then called it a night.
