Ken Howells General MemberThanks for serving on the board, Ed, Jana, & Kathy.
Thanks for stepping up Luke, Peter, & Mimi. Make sure you get plenty of airtime during your tenures.
Excellent State of the CSS report, Luke.
Ken Howells General MemberSo I now have that animated gif and a graph on my homepage

The wind speeds seem low but the direction is good.
Ken Howells General MemberGood eye, Mark! What’s the date on that? 2004?
Ken Howells General MemberI had a great half-hour with the PG yesterday.
Very cool that they lifted the ban on forest use early.
Ken Howells General MemberLine Fire forest closure west boundary now Highway 18. (closure order list here)
We can use our launches again.

Ken Howells General MemberUse a GPS tracker if you plan to launch from above the pond and thermal out.
Ken Howells General MemberProbably will be great flying but there’s a chance of thunderstorms over the mountains in the forecast. Keep an eye out for gust fronts!
I just happened to see one of my cutting-edge flight log graphics, from the
Andy Jackson Airpark 14th Anniversary Fly-In – July 12, 2008.
Sounds like similar conditions.
Ken Howells General MemberThat would be awesome, John!
Bringing a wing? Remember the way?
I keed! I keed!

Yesterday on the Little Mountain webcam.
Also saw this earlier in the day. You can see the red fire retardant being dropped but not the airplane dropping it.There was an occasional fire-related aircraft over the AJX LZ yesterday, but not what you would call “traffic”.
Ken Howells General MemberThanks for adding the link to Watch Duty on the weather detail page.
Also, the Little Mountain cams are available on the Alert California website again!

Ken Howells General MemberShould be okay to fly this week.
Several small spot fires on the desert side of the mountains Sunday and one larger one, mostly contained. No TFR was ever issued. I called 1-800-WX-BRIEF at 2 PM Sunday and the briefer had no word of anything going on in the area.

Ken Howells General MemberI’ll be there for a while. I’ll take a jelly-filled apple fritter with maple glaze and sprinkles.
What tools or implements might the peons bring?
Ken Howells General MemberThe Marshall Peak weather station is back online!
Thanks to the installers!
