Not doing as good yesterday or today, or the next few days because I’m missing out on the Pig Party in Idaho. The reason : work. The plant has run non-stop all year, and they decided to schedule an outage right at the same time as the party. Every major job during the outage requires a crane operator, and I’m one of three. Spent yesterday swinging the 59ft jib on our 5160 Grove.

That last pic is a pano shot to fit the 220’ boom.

Speaking of cab air filters, I wanted to share these pics of dealing with a later model Ford F-350 without the filter. The employee that drives the truck was complaining that there was no volume of air blowing out the vents even though the blower could be heard on high speed. Had to pull the dash back, take the top cover off of the evaporator core and blow it out with compressed air. Dusty air sucked into the cab while selected to “fresh” plugged the fins and wouldn’t allow much air to pass. Bottom pic is getting at the inside screw on the blower motor mount - PITA!

El Dorado is in Riverside. Probably 2-3 hours north. My Boss was hiking one of the mountains when it started and he cut his hike short when the smoke started coming up over them.

The Valley Fire is in Alpine pretty close to the MX boarder.
 
Well I guess it's a good thing I changed my location from Riyadh and Gulf Shores to Riyadh and Auburn........unfortunately we still have a condo there. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks.

I am hopeful for you as well.

Indeed. It's a very well built structure, circa 2006. I'm sure it will be fine but maybe not a lot of the stuff around it.
 
In between family camping trips (one left to go) my son is helping ( learning! ) get the tractor ready for use after it shat the water pump...it’s only as old as me I don’t understand why it wore out. Yeah right.
