Finally broke down and purchased a new Mac laptop. A 15 inch macbook pro. My old Mac powerbook G4 is almost 6 years old and I think that power supply might be going, and I can no longer use it on battery power. So it was time. Had the Apple store add memory, so it is fully loaded with memory, 4 gigs) and installed almost all of the updates. That took me most of the afternoon. So, between going to the gym, buying a new laptop, and installing updates most of my day is now gone.
In the meantime, I just entered various books, references, and reports on wildland fires in my bibliograhpic database software (Endnote X). Seventy documents, most of which I have either read or skimmed. I finished this task last night. So, I'll be back, hopefully tomorrow with another entry.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
