    is concerned that in a couple years there might be serious shortages of food and other goods. At least I will be able to garden and forage, which means I will be better off than city dwellers.

    is angry that a locust infestation meant that I could not plant a garden this year. At least I can still forage for acorns and wild berries.

    I was talking with my mom on voice phone yesterday (3 August) and suddenly the siren sound went off on my damaged inverter. My mom then said I had her permission to go to Medford that day and use the joint credit card to replace it. So I did. No more sirens at random times, yay.
    oregano
    I have to buy a new small inverter, it runs the general AC plug system in my tiny house for little stuff like alarm clock and cell phone signal amplifier and laptop. Mom says "you broke it, you pay to replace it". So I have to wait a couple weeks for my new credit card statement period to start.

    Get a battery alarm clock as they're not that hard to keep going. You don't need to make 110vAC to run a clock when clocks run on 1.5-9vDC easily.

    For my bedside clock I use a LED clock so I can see it in the dark. I tried battery ones, they eat batteries incredibly fast. When I first moved out here I had a clock from Ikea, and one night it drained to zero while I slept. I woke up in the morning with a nice Swedish brick next to my bed. Lithium batteries don't change the equation either.

    The siren on my small inverter has been going on and off (no cut of power though, so no real overload) ever since I tried turning my laptop and desk fan on at the same time. I have a telehealth appointment with my psychiatrist on Tuesday and if it does this at that time I will be ANGRY!
    oregano
    My small inverter might be damaged from running fans on it. Stuff it once accepted now gets a screaming siren overload warning. I put the fans on the big inverter to stop the damage, but that horse may have left a long time ago. I don't have the money to replace it, so I just have to play musical chairs with my stuff til it shuts up.

    deathfire..webp


    When the giant Park Fire near Chico, California, first blew up, a remote camera was one of the first things in its way. This is the final image the camera took before the fire incinerated it. I'm thinking that something like this will be the last thing I myself see before burning to death in a wildfire. I just hope that the view won't last longer, like an eternity.

    My Hammarlund HQ-110A radio can attract a real ham at times.

    He is holding down the fort while the cow grazes. I call him Ham Marlund. I have several pig plushies around my "shack" or radio operating setup, because ham radio needs some real hams.

    Flies like to fly into my house whenever I open the door, then they won't fly out. So they fly around and around, and any screen light attracts them, so it's buzzbuzzbuzz whenever I am online, phone or laptop. One is spinning around my head right now and won't stop.

    At my aunt's place there are a lot of flies going in through the doors because they're always open and they can't go and won't go out. My uncle tries to smack them but is very unsuccessful, they're so annoying, their little wings are very effective.

    One day I saw one squat and stick a clear liquid on the table, I wonder if it was eggs because fly poop is dark colored. Maybe I shouldn't of looked, it's just incredible.

    Maybe they should make plug in defense for flies like they make for mosquitoes. I have a lot of itchy mosquito bites as they haven't put up any.

    So glad I live in a place where every woman either has a partner or has a very good reason not to. It helps bring me back to reality whenever I get wistful. Dating apps only work in ginormous cities anyway.
    oregano
    The night before last a wildfire started up near my home, and I was awake all night in case I had to flee. Fortunately it wound up burning in the opposite direction from where I am. I could see a hill burning all night.

    Anyone can circumvent all the state laws pertaining to purchasing fireworks here simply by going north to the federal reservations where they can legally purchase all the fireworks they want. Completely outside Nevada law with no recourse. Conversely, the DEA doesn't loiter outside of legal pot shops or brothels to arrest people either.

    The Paiutes are prohibited from opening casinos, so I suppose they've gotta make money somehow. Nevada doesn't have very many Indigenous reservations due to its history of Whites chasing ore strikes, so I didn't think of it.

    Yep..the Paiutes. But no one wants to make trouble with the res...so they do what they please. Keeping the peace and restricting gambling.

    Wildfire season has arrived. Everything is hazy around here from the Shelly Fire in the Marble Mountains about 60 miles southwest of me. It's burning in mostly unpopulated areas but the smoke is being pushed northeast.

    Quite the opposite here in the UK - we got nonstop rain and floods.

    A large bird likes my ham radio antenna for some reason. Every 15min or so all night he tries to land on it. I wish I could immediately pump 1500 watts of signal into it and cook him instantly.
    oregano
    I have a fly circling my head as I write this. He just keeps going around and around and around. Buzz buzz buzz.
    oregano
    finally got to sleep last night,. Slept a total of 11 hours or so. Feeling better today, Ate a beef roast from the local butcher for Independence Day holiday. That helped too.

    is sick from heat and driving. My car has an all black interior and a gray exterior (not including dirt and bird poo). I am sick and can't fall asleep.

    You probably know this but fatigue is right up there with speeding when you're behind the wheel.

    will have to stay inside with generator powering AC for the next 2 weeks. Generator runs 8 hours on a tank of gas (petrol).
    oregano
    Above 100 F here for the entire 7 day forecast. 102 tomorrow, then at least 105 for the rest of the forecast. San Francisco Chronicle says excessive heat through 16 July, and possibly even longer than that.

    I was complaining about 93 degrees. 105 is ridiculous.
    oregano
    Heat dome has arrived further south, it will be here by Thursday. High temps of 105+ F starting Friday and thru at least Monday. I run my AC off a generator so lots of gasoline runs to Hornbrook in the heat to keep myself from getting heatstroke.

    @Xinyta my ancestors were from Arkansas and Oklahoma, those people take any excuse to fire up a barbeque. They also know heat, here heat means 10% humidity but there it means 90% humidity, which makes their heat so much worse. It takes a lot more than that to affect them tho.

    My avatar is the cover of Under The Dome by Stephen King, the plot is that a magic impenetrable dome suddenly walls off a stereotypical Maine town of the type always in his novels, and the imprisoned face a lack of food and air.

    @Xinyta , and giant monster freezers to step inside for 10 mins to cool down, sounds like a good event. :)
