Well my mountain is burning, looks like the badass firefighters really saved our town. Some people are not as lucky as us, about 6-10 structures are lost most are life long friends. Everyone evacuated except for a few of us diehards. Anyhow one thing that was really cool was on Thursday the whole place is burning, everyone is panicking and at the bottom of the driveway I see UPS. They brought my 3rd brake light kit! Very impressive delivery. Here is the wfacebook link to the Raptor pulling away from the stop sign and my buddies gen 1 at the gas station.

Hey Booth, hope your home is safe, leave if you must but be safe (and take the Raptor of course)! My sister in law has a family cabin in Idyllwild hope it's OK. Have they gotten a handle on this fire yet? I saw it on this morning's news!!

They still don't have anymore than 5% containment at best but the wind is pushing it away from town in to the high country;bucket attack helicopters running back and forth over head as I type. It gnarly Right now the fire is trying to creep, over the ridge if it does the town is toast. Luckily we got the best in the world on it huge DC10's bombing on it with a fleet of small aircraft. We're all loaded up incase. All because of an ******* throwing out flares.
