It was a nice normal morning, UNTIL I went outside. I was heading for the spa with a brown cover. Well the cover was white; it was covered with ashes. Then I paid attention to the deck; it too was covered with ashes.
It has been about a hundred years since I had a course in chemistry. But I remembered something about ashes and moisture making lye. Well, I wanted the ashes off of the spa, the car and the etc.
I hosed and washed them all down. THEN I remembered to take pics. If I remember my Hoch Deutsch correctly that comes under the heading of “zu spate” or in English “Too late.”
The largest piece of ash on the spa top was almost an inch long. Lucky for me, it had cooled on its trip from the fire or it would have damaged my spa top---not to mention that it might have caught some of the surrounding trees or bushes on fire. Who would have ever thought, living in the middle of a fair sized city that I would be in danger of a forest fire?
At 11:00 am the temperature is 91*F. The high is predicted for 97*F which is a few degrees lower than yesterday, which was lower than the day before that. The TV said that even a few degrees makes a big difference in the firefighting so the drop is welcome. I was out at 7:15 this morning hosing down the decks and washing down things like the spa. I was sweating. The humidity just plain old isn't; it is DRY.
I assume Carol will be getting on with her report.
Enjoy, I am because all is OK at this location.
