Boo: FYI for your guest I am a Certified Arborist (not current) and worked the forest lands for a utility company to prevent hazard trees too close to powerlines. I'm really interested in his background.

Divinemzm: HR2647 is a beginning. It just passed the House. Thank you for having Ray on. He is a GOOD guy.
DianeA: who authored HR2647?
sflow: look at all the out of control burns they have had up here . they dam near burnt lewston down :_(
eddie515: He knows the truth
Boo: Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015
sflow: and that one to the east was worse lol
Erin: It's been driving me nuts that he hasn't had time to come in until now. SO much good info
Boo: DianeA it is Bruce Westerman R-AZ
DianeA: Modification of existing fences in order to distribute livestock and help improve wildlife habitat.
DianeA: What does that mean? its in the bill
sflow: thats what is diff about the ufs they let them burn till they run wildfire for the help :_(
Boo: Good comment Divinemzm
sflow: no us indians were helping mother nature hehe
DianeA: Construction of new and maintenance of permanent infrastructure, including stock ponds, water catchments, and water spring boxes used to benefit livestock and improve wildlife habitat.
sflow: back then
DianeA: that looks good
DianeA: Use of herbicides, so long as the Secretary concerned determines that the activity is otherwise conducted consistently with agency procedures, including any forest plan applicable to the area covered by the activity
DianeA: that sounds like monsanto giveme
sflow: cecpt we didnt let them get that dammm big lol
DianeA: Bond requirement as part of legal challenge of certain forest management activities.
DianeA: that looks good
Boo: NEPA, National Environmental Policy Act..sounds scary. Can you ask your guest about his view on this agency.
sflow: nows it's good shroom and lady bug hunting hehe !!!!!!!
eddie515: If you mismanage the budget, They fix it with more money
DianeA: Payment of portion of stewardship project revenues to county in which stewardship project occurs
sflow: bandaid effect lol
DianeA: sounds good
Erin: NEPA isn't an agency. It's a required process.
Erin: We will get into that too. SO many ways to go today. I'm glad you guys are here.
sflow: :_(
Divinemzm: NEPA is the rules that the FS must live by. It states that the FS must live in harmony with man, which they keep forgetting because they are rules by radical enviros who sue them every time they can find a reason.
sflow: :_) always here ernin
eddie515: Right on Divinemzm
Boo: Great point Divinemzm
eddie515: Thats why we seldom harvest burnt timber,
sflow: ask him why they are running all those radio ad's ?¿?
Erin: Bingo D!
Divinemzm: NEPA also says thwey must 'coordinate' with local governments but getting the local governments to hold them to it is nearly impossible.
Boo: Sounds like our County BOS
eddie515: Local govm. doesnt know how!
sflow: simpson up here is hauling alot of burnt timber in shasta lake plant !!!!!!!
eddie515: Coming from the Siskiyou fire?
sflow: its got to be from last year burns !!!!
eddie515: They have 12-18 months to get it to the mill
DianeA: thinning forests will help with health of flora and fauna and help release water
Divinemzm: Yes, BOS! Some counties are doing an excellent job but SC refuses to do it.
Erin: Stay tuned for some numbers on all of that!!!
Boo: Absolutely correct D
sflow: no the fires to the east of us up here !!!!
Boo: Have to go plant a small tree, listening....
Divinemzm: Lassen County is working hard to get the trees that blew down several months ago to market. There were so many of them it looked like a war zone off A21 north of Hwy 44.
eddie515: Great timing
sflow: hell i cant even keep the fruit trees alive lol
eddie515: I saw it, amazing to see huge trees blow down and get snapped off 5 feet from the ground
Divinemzm: Erin, ask Ray where in HR 2647 they got the word coordination inserted.
eddie515: It did look like a war zone
sflow: the one in my backyard snaped 6 feet up
eddie515: If you were in the woods that night, you would,nt have survived
Erin: I'll ask him on the break about HR 2647 for you ;-)

eddie515: I'll bet those windmills were spinning!
eddie515: Or do they lock them down
sflow: that june storm remined me of a hurricane or tornado is was the worst we have had up here in a very long time !!!!!!!!
eddie515: It was very spotty, some areas didn't get hit at all
sflow: the rain was sideways lol
eddie515: The wind wasn't that bad in the valley
sflow: only thing missing was the 1/4 size hail they said was coming lol
eddie515: That would hurt
eddie515: 100mph hail would take the leaves off!
sflow: the temp drop 25 degrees to under the 80'3 . it was 108 before it hit lol
Boo: This past week in the House of Representatives we took on education reform, forestry management, and the devastating California drought.

eddie515: Shut down the local economy
sflow: they didnt even go after red today lol
sflow: or sorven show lol
DianeA: It is NOT a predator!!!!! they interbreed BULLSHIT
DianeA: bring back that topic barred owls are not predators of spotted owls - USFW know they interbreed
eddie515: Don't listen to either
sflow: ask him about el nono ?¿?
Erin: will do Diane
DianeA: overgrown forest uses water resource
Erin: sorry, didn't see your note while we were on the owls. Had my eyes closed
sflow: she sounds pissed hehe lol
Erin: That's why we love Diane
Erin: It's all part of her magic
DianeA: I am because this is a HUGE farce
sflow: tthrow any owl on the barbie hehe !!!
eddie515: High dens. trees drink lots of water
DianeA: artifically densified from no timber operations
eddie515: 10-4 Diane
sflow: some smelt for the saltyness hehe and flavoring
eddie515: People dont understand that
DianeA: the reason they cant find smelt in delta is it migrates to ocean when water level is low DUH
eddie515: The facts just make it confusing!
DianeA: and critical for wildlife like deer elk
sflow: can we use the smelt for bait deep sea fishing ?¿? !!!!!
eddie515: I heard OR7 just had another litter of pups!
DianeA: the deer and elk will be grazing and browsing if there are meadows between stands
DianeA: breed longdogs and they will take care of wolves
eddie515: There are going to be some hungry wolves
sflow: or for the crab traps hehe !!!
eddie515: Keep your kids close
DianeA: dead and down from overgrown and lack of water due to being too crowded
eddie515: So much to learn about fire health
DianeA: lack of water - not ozone
eddie515: We are really good at raising fire
sflow: arent they baitfish to begin with lol
DianeA: yes and there's plenty in ocean
DianeA: FIRE INDUSTRY
Boo: Can't have Natural Selection fast enough, human intervention on proper thinning is need.
DianeA: alot like prison industry
eddie515: We don't want to run out of bait fish
sflow: hell no
DianeA: solution: smelt fish farms SIMPLE CHEAP
sflow: thn how do we catch them with fake plugs and rubber lol !
DianeA: US F&W did studies and proved that F1 hybrids of barred owl x spotted owl ARE FERTILE
DianeA: What was preceived BY IDIOTS as predation was BREEDING by the two
eddie515: Like closing the trout hatcheries on the Klamath will help the fish??
sflow: coool
DianeA: THey are the same species if they can interbreed and produce fertile young
Boo: GEOENGINEERING
DianeA: thus the spotted owl has its own perservation plan interbreeding with the stronger barred owl and is learning better adaptation behavior from barred owls
eddie515: But our children won't see a purebread Spotted Owl
DianeA: so the feds are shooting and killing them!!!!! WTH?
sflow: sounds like what the govt wants to do .select breeding lol !!!!
DianeA: if a f1 and f1 breed - purebred spotted owls will be 25%
sflow: lol the white race lol
eddie515: We know best redman
sflow: play god lol
eddie515: No disrespect intended
sflow: gmo food gmo animals
sflow: lets play god and change the world lol

eddie515: We need a study!
sflow: a course a testtube lol
sflow: i robots lol
eddie515: I'm losing hope
sflow: the giant afarican snail in fla
eddie515: Nobody can profit
eddie515: Profit is a bad thing on public land
DianeA: they only swoop in due to legal fees given by feds

DianeA: and capitulation - sue & settle BS

sflow: like oysters hehe
Erin: In honor of Humboldt County let's talk about SLUGS!!!! Bring on the salt!!!!
DianeA: Its better to use funds for fire prevention (thining = $$$ revenue) than on fire fighting
Boo: Sometimes you have to shed your old bark in order to grow.
DianeA: but fire industry doesnt want prevention oh noooooo
Erin: When we lived in Seattle as little kids we each had out own salt shaker. It was tons of fun.
Erin: fire industry wants more fire because it is a HUGE industry right now.

Boo: Oxymoron Forest Managment does not exist.
DianeA: I think there MAY be two left but trinity is the size of Texas
Boo: Har
