Sorry, we can’t put out your house fire, our battery is only at 15% and that is what we need to get back to the fire house and charge it… I bet it has a diesel engine to provide the torque and horsepower to run the pumps.
I have the series scheduled for the next two weeks, but posting for me might be spotty as I am going to be helping my brother fix his back fence and dig a French Drain and channels and an overflow pipe to the street culvert from the side of his house. I’ll be hot and sweaty and when done for the evening I am sure gonna be collapsing from working my ass off. Cold beers and steaks I am sure will be in the mix…
I lived on the backside of Stead Airport, outside and West of Reno and the air races were a blast. I would have co-workers and friends come over and we would set up a barbeque pit and grill everything and the beer and wine would flow. From my place you could see about 3/4 of the races. We had two radios, one tuned to the tower frequency and the other to the announcer frequency. It was great fun sitting with your buds and watching them big planes zoom by about a 100 feet behind my back acre and the noise was incredible! I am sure the liberal karens and kens from california had a hand in closing this icon of racing. When I lived there, there was a moratorium on building houses out in Lemon Valley due to a low water table and some areas were BLM land and some tribal lands. To this day I watch the air races on yube tube streaming. One more fun thing to do taken away from us, because it attracted rednecks and trad citizens.
