How is air quality everywhere.
It is super smoky here like fog. Real nasty.
I am going to go water the chickens and head to the bay area to pick up a hood for my project car. see I have project chickens and cars

It's been super bad this morning. Smokey even in the store at work.

Do roosters often get jealous and yank other roosters off the hens they're mating with?

thats great news

well, they're quite responsive, but so far their only suggestions have been a) resetting the machine, which i'd already done (but tried again), b) raising the interior temp of my house to their "expected" 70-75°F range (i'm telling you, i felt right silly turning on the furnace in august, but what the heck, i'll try...), and c) waiting a bit longer -- it's now been three hours since they suggested waiting, and the temp HAS gone up, but only to 89.2°F, still a good 10 degrees below where it should be. setting the target temp even higher (up to 102°F) has no noticeable effect.

i'm beginning to worry the isbar eggs (already 5 or 6 days old due to shipping) will be hopelessly screwed up by the warm-but-not-warm-enough temps?

It is not too smokey in Woodland but you can see and smell it. Luckily for us the Delta Breeze is back and moving the smoke away from us.

Have a great trip!

We are fully socked in by the smoke. The wind is driving the rim fire right over our ridge. Ash shared yesterday. It's pretty hot but we are keeping the windows closed. My baby just popped a 102 fever and I'm praying its not a respitory infection. I worry since his pneumonia episodes... Rain dance anyone?

I hope the baby is ok and the fire is out soon!

all my best for you & your family, hope the little one is better soon -- my mom still doesn't know whether her house has survived the Rim Fire or not, two of the other four or five properties on her road are confirmed to be burned to the ground...

Praying! We almost lost our old house I. The angora fire. Very scary times. The rim fire is does not have us in evacuation mode but the wind is taking the smoke directly into the basin:-(
