My parents were in the thick of it (pun intended) in Ohio yesterday, but it's eased up to just "Unhealthy" today.

I swapped out the plug on my generator cord last night because the new one has a 30A outlet instead of 20A. Was looking for the cover off the old plug, then found it. (It was further up the cord.) :rolleyes :

Thanks Ohio. Tried that one last night, couldn't get it to load interactive. But it's working today. Makes more sense now. Virtual early yesterday made it look like the smoke was moving slowing South east. I don't think it was showing it moving, not much of breeze. It was showing dissipation. How far it spread before it had the time to peter out..so to speak.

Yeah , there was some place in Ohio that hit 315 yesterday. That was the highest at the time.

Nice clean job !

Had to find a quality HD 15amp 90* male plug that would fit inside a waterproof GFCI receptacle enclosure last week. That was hard to find, located just one small enough that would work at Amazon. Any larger and the door wouldn't shut. Surprised how well made that little sucker was.

No smoke here, but the pine trees are dumping green dust on everything right now. I had the garage door open for about 30 minutes, and there was a fine coating on the car afterward, and last evening, I tossed a tree branch which hit a pine and a green cloud just dropped from it. I may need to double up on my allergy meds.

For me it's those damn cottonwood puffs.

I'd be happy if the little crap factories would refrain from the trees and stick to their designated areas....the power lines.

Well.... my gut feeling was to go ahead and cut a coil off the passenger side spring. Frankie agreed and did the drivers side for me. I wonder how long it was like this?

Noticed over at AccuWeather Alaska has the claenest air in the states, Green #1 - actually says enjoy the outdoors next to it. Haven't seen that anywhere else lol.

Btw- Noobs , can get a kit and smaller refillable tanks. Tap the larger O2 tank I have at the house here. Thanks again for mentioning that and Ohio for the link, yesterday I could get the link page, but it wouldn't do anything else...preciate it.
