Moon, clouds and pine trees!

Due to the recent storms, our ability to generate electricity
has been impacted.

Storm clouds reduced our solar electric production in a big way.
This resulted in increased propane use as our backup generator
was making up for the reduced solar production.

Increased propane use resulted in a close to empty propane level,
necessitating shutting down the system.

A landslide on Green Hills Road resulted in our access road being blocked.
This means no propane delivery. In addition the massive amount of rain has
washed out the hilly part of the access road. This will have to be repaired so
the propane delivery truck can get up the hill.

Currently there is no estimate on when the Green Hills Road landslide will be cleared. Hyper saturation of the soil around the landslide area makes time estimates difficult if not impossible.

We'll all have to exercise some patience.

The range remains open, bringing a flashlight is a good idea.

Bird of prey, Hawk or Falcon outside Heavenly Cafe in Scotts Valley, at lunchtime. Bright Sun behind him, so identifying detail was in shadow from my location.

Today, the coward who murdered our dear friend, father, leader and incredible man, Sergeant Damon Gutzwiller, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Today, Steven Carrillo is being transported to a California State Prison in Sergeant Gutzwiller’s handcuffs. While nothing will bring Damon back, there is comfort in knowing the person who caused so much harm will not be capable of inflicting that harm on anyone else.

We would like to thank the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office for their hard work on this case that we can now say after two years and three months, is officially closed.

Many of you remember Nolan. He was a club member and worked at Santa Cruz Armory. He could use a little help right now as insurance if really doing a number on him for a time sensitive medical problem. If you can help here is the link.

Organized by Chris Clayton and Mary Sullivan-White Nolan, C… Mary Sullivan-White needs your support for Nolan's Tumor Healing and Support Fund

Twenty years ago today at 0846hrs so many lives along with the course of our country were forever changed. Those of you old enough we hope you talk about where you were our country was attacked. We hope you talk about about America & Americans on September 12th when we actually remembered what unity was. We hope you think about the sacrifices of First Responders, Service Members, and countless other American women and men that have paid physical and emotional tolls in all the years since to make the world a better place.

Never forget and never allow evil to capitalize on that day whether foreign or domestic. We’ve made amazing advances in technology, security, and medical care since that fateful day. However, we’ve also let fear take our freedoms in the name Safety. An unfortunate byproduct both sides of the aisle have been happy to exploit.

Support each other today, share stories with your children and never forget, we are Americans.
