Remember, that this fire is 100 miles away from us, so you can imagine the amount of smoke it's producing.
At 190,000 acres this fire is about one fourth the size of the entire state of Rhode Island and the growth potential is still high.
On another note, Chip is still having problems getting Jayco to provide parts as my deadline for leaving here approaches. I have to be in Hannibal by the 20th of June for my High School reunion so I can defend myself from those scalawags I went to school with. It looks like we might be cutting it pretty close.
Today we have another 20+ mph wind to enjoy. At least it's out of the north and is keeping the smoke away. That sure helps us to enjoy the good life.
John: Maybe telling Jayco you are a Blogger and many of your readers would really like to spread the word of their bad customer service. You are not dealing with a warranty issue so it would be the same as them not letting you work on your own rig. Ask when they are having a going out of bussiness sale because that's where they are heading with their attitude.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
When I contacted headquarters they basically said don't talk to us if you're not a dealer. I wrote them back saying they should devote their home page to statements about customer service when it didn't exist and the put barriers between the company and the customer. We are working through the dealer I purchased from and even they are having trouble getting parts and prices.
DeleteSure hope those fires are brought under control soon. Our firefighters do so much and risk their lives battling those blazes. Wish I could thank them. Just read a story about smoke jumpers - wow, what a job.
ReplyDeleteEvery time the fire grows the number of personnel grows. The problem here is the terrain and the winds. There aren't even many roads into the area.
ReplyDeletePraying the fires are brought under control very soon. I agree with Donna, our firefighters are super heroes!! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are, as other people run to escape, firemen run in to rescue.
DeleteThey were showing that fire on the news last night and saying how terribly out of control it is. We didn't hear any good news about today either.
ReplyDeleteThe sun photos are wonderful...unfortunately due to the fire.
The sun pictures show that no matter how bad things are if we look hard enough there is some good to be found. For a 300 square mile fire it is fortunate only 11 or 12 cabins have been lost. I guess that speaks to how isolated the area really is.
DeleteJohn, you really caught that sky and moon. great shot to bad its such a terrible way to get it.
ReplyDeleteHope you have good luck with Jayco I will think twice about buying from them.
Jo, to give you an idea of how thick the smoke was, that is the sun in the picture.
