>> A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from out here on the left coast.

>> Have mostly lurked recently, but am currently using my old equipment
>> assisting neighbors clean up from mud slides.  So thought you guys might
>> find this interesting.  A brush fire in 2013 burned the wilderness
>> foothill canyon and its steep hillsides to our west, and now every time
>> it rains there are major problems as water, mud and debris rush out of
>> the canyon mouth.

>> Judy and I live on higher ground and are OK, but some folks live
>> directly in the line of flow.  Note our neighbor's steel shed at 0.42
>> seconds in (intact in March after the first mud flow) and then again at
>> 3:00 minutes in (destroyed, taken two weeks ago).  A flash flood of mud
>> and water roaring down out of the canyon slammed into its side and
>> ruined it.

>> We've unfortunately lost quite a few of the Cub owners who used to
>> regularly post, either from passing away or through leaving ATIS. While
>> operating my old LowBoy with a box scraper and rear blade, I couldn't
>> help thinking of guys like Mike Sloane, Jim Becker, Bob Brooks, Farmer,
>> George Willer, and others.  Thanks, Spencer, you sure started a good
>> thing - was it back in '94 that ATIS first originated using the Forsyth
>> County server?
