Hey Billy, how's things up there? I hear you guys are getting lots of rain. We are pretty dry here and even dryer south of here. I went to California with Doug Williams last year. I'm hoping to pick a couple more weeks with him. We been doing some burning when we can. I mostly just been teaching 130/190 classes. Hope everythings good in youy neighborhood! Ttyl Chance Hines
Hi Billy,
Hope as is going well for you back East. We are getting soaked out here in CA and things are growing at a rapid pace. Could be a big fire season or a big bust, I guess we will just wait and see. I'm hoping for some smaller fires so I can get my training in for Aircraft Timekeeping at the air tanker base. Take care and let me know if you come out this way!
