Fighting fires like that is akin to being sat in front of the PA at a Motorhead concert playing Eidelwiess on a penny whistle hoping to be heard

That's the best description yet.
Not to mention there's about 2,000 prisoners (non-violent offenses) supplementing the firefighters ranks right now with a lot less training than the professionals.
I imagine they will be doing donkey work not working on the extreme front lines
Last summer as fire was nearing my sister’s cabin at Sheridan Lake the firefighters rolled in with pumps, hoses, and sprinklers to wet everything down. (Of course that only works if you’re beside a lake)
As I understand it, the wind shifted just before the fire hit the first property about 1K away.
Yoiks! I hope they get shortened sentences!
I believe they do, and a $1 an hour for every hour fighting an active burn.
Yeah... if memory serves... those solid state models were CBS's way of letting the world know that they were holdin' the reigns at 7ender now, and that they were doing away with Fender's antiquated engineering & designs, and "moving into the future" with the latest & greatest thing... solid state! They flopped faster than they could build 'em! I've been lead to believe the amps suck. I've never heard commentary on the cabs alone. Still a rare and cool piece of music history

I see you're keeping the band tips bucket at the back
Ha! That was ‘soundcheck.’ During the gig, the tip bucket made an appearance. It’s sort of a gag the singer does. It often gets filled up too, which helps out a lot on these small fill in gigs.
My heart goes out to all the folks who have been hit by these fires. Terrible thing. Once we start heading south out of Portland, we’re in the home stretch, so worst case we’ll take a night off. Wouldn’t break my heart
Listened to some Aretha first thing this morning in the van...what a force of nature she was
Is there a list somewhere of how they died? In Cali, one died when his bulldozer rolled over. I know up around Redding, it's mountains and serious hills. Every city out there should have a big firebreak around it.
Hey! You're back with us, can't keep a good man down!
...and a good man is hard to find. Or is it... a hard man is good to find.
Maybe it depends on what you're looking for.
Whistle away!
Or is it... a hard man is good to find.
I'm happy with the girl I've got

Hello Idaho! Just crossed the state line
Yep, gonna go out on a limb here and make a prediction..
Nearly all the "old guard" (pre grunge) Rock n Roll Band greats will pass away in the next 10 to 20 years.
Just a hop skip and a jump from my house. Not in the market for a rig right now but can look at it for others if needed.I'm sure a hardcore Fender historian type would be able to tell ya
Anyone reasonably close to Sherman Oaks, CA?

Nice! I used to have an Acoustic 2x15 cab. I thought that was a 104... never mind - was a 106
I'll bet you'd even test and store it for someone for a coupla years,too!
