JAG1 you better come back here... I'll give you all the fire you want to stay warm with... I'll just park you up Elk Lake Road... Might have to sign you up for the Fire Dept.

I'm about 2.5 miles from the fire now. Technically yes I'm in the path according to the sandbox models they are doing. It heading north and spreading east and west. So to be smart I moved my RV from here at home to a friends place in New Meadows, ID. That way I don't have to worry about embers or fire fallout landing the roof of the RV. It also become a fallback place for us if it does come this far. So on my way home from New Meadows, ID I stopped at our fire camp. I talked to the Fire Chief and he informed me that he wants me to go home and rest. He want me ready for when the $ h ! t hits the fan. Right now they are placing fold-a-tanks at homes and setting up sprinkler systems. They also been cleaning up brush and trees so when the fire does reach Elk Lake they have a better chance of fighting it.

I've also got a solar / hydro system here. 4,000 watt Trace Inverter 400 watts of solar panels 200 watts of hydro-generator 820 Amp/Hours of Batteries 6,500 watt Gasoline Generator

Kind of like...

Most would say to clean the spot and spray them with lacquer.

In 2012, the average sales price of coal at the mine was $39.95 per ton, and the average delivered price to the electric power sector was $45.77 per ton, resulting in an average transportation cost of $5.82 per ton, or 13% of the total delivered price.

Coal you need a small wood fire to get burning. Once burning it burns for quite a while. I was introduced to coal a few years ago. I see some the Fire Chief had in his shop. Amazing how long a small chunk of coal will burn. Yes it coal does burn rather clean.

I would welcome you down this way but not much to see with all the smoke and fires now burning. Beautiful country up her but right now its not a good time to come look.

Whew! I'm home at the computer. Sorry for the up-side-down picture I was doing from my tablet today. As for the fire its about 2 miles from my house right now. http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4506/ I've been given the day off to get things in order here with jobs and personal stuff and I will be hitting the fire lines on Monday for sure. As far as I know the USFS is say it's not if but when it will enter the Elk Lake Subdivision. They are figuring on Tuesday. The fire model shows that it will burn north toward us and down to the river. (Picture fixed) Here is also the fire location to me. (Mouse pointer)

I'm lucky to be stationed at house with WiFi. This is a serious event and talking long term. It's move off a sit and wait right now.

The Teepee Fire is in my district and rolling hard now. Just mere 2.5 miles away from the house to Elk Lake Road where I was station last night to wait for the fire to come. Good to hear...

Sorry gang... I've got to keep this short and say I'm fighting a local fire near my home. It started in the Hazard drainage and now is heading north threatening Elk Lake Road homes. I've got to be back on the fire line at 7am. I'll report more by tomorrow night.

There is a surge that is created by a magnetic collapse of the motor winding. Kind of like what killed the LED in my exhaust brake switch. Every time the power was cut to the solenoid of the vacuum valve the voltage spike was so great that the light weight LED burned up. I've been zapped by battery cables or wiring from heavy draws on starters as the magnetic field collapses it creates this surge. http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/semiconductors/chpt-3/inductor-commutating-circuits/ So because of the light weight hardware in some version of Quadzilla the circuits are damaged from this spike.

Don't set any voltage on Timbo's sensors. More or less look for voltage rise then for it to fall back and take 1/2 turn more from the screw. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/39-timbos-apps-installing

I would get a few tubes of caulk and go for it.

Nice pull.

Set up correctly?

Interesting to say the least.

Project Completed. Owner is very satisfied with the delete and tuner. I've got a Starlite Diesel AutoCal (EFI Tuner) Awesome amount of power cranked up on 5 vs down at mild level 1. Truck is absolutely faster, little to no smoke even cranked up. Very clean.

Doesn't it figure?!

Just replace the plug. That should fix the problem.

Might be a good time for both of you get together create an article on how to build one. List sources of parts and prices of parts. Then you might want to upload your code to download area as well as any other programs required. Then makes it a bit more fool proof for others to get involved as well.

Amazing how the last half is shorter than the first half.

Holy cow I replaced mine after 10 years. You done very well with batteries. Your cables are shot and should be replaced. When you do replace both the batteries and cables use a little bit of engine oil on the terminals and you'll never have to clean your cables ever again.

Talking to the Deputy tonight there was over 80 new fires started. Dry lightning tonight on my way home. Praying for rain! As for the RV I went out to check it and it was still dry inside but the roof vents are full of pine needles even though the vents are barely opened. I guess one of these days I grab the vacuum and clean them up. I've already done the roof coating and been doing chalking around lights and seams. So far so good and staying dry inside.
