Updated Pend O’reille Weather Station

Took down my old post as I had to do some maintenance on my weather station, but it is back live! I noticed there was no accurate weather station on the Pend Oreille Long Bridge & wanted to change that. I built a custom LoRa ESP32 Weather Station which tracks Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Rain, Air Quality & Barometric Pressure. You can access it here:

Cake bakery

Anyone know somewhere I can order a custom birthday cake? I’ve contacted all the googled people I could find but the ones who’ve responded said they’re not baking currently.

41 Years in the Woods: A Family Logging Operation's Story

Our podcast team spent a day in North Idaho with Mason Logging. What stood out most while working on this podcast episode was hearing a crew talk about working alongside their brothers, sons, and nephews. We also enjoyed listening to them compare the old days of hand falling, chokers, and manual bucking to today's tether logging, bunchers, processors, and grapple skidders.

A lot of good discussion around:

  • Learning curve of tether logging
  • 80%+ slopes and shovel logging
  • Running a Cat 527 on steep ground
  • How production has changed over 40+ years
  • Regeneration, forest management, and harvesting second-growth stands they logged decades ago

We'd love to hear other experiences. What's been the biggest change you've seen in the woods during your career?

How is the smoke and air quality, really?

I'm bringing up the family, kids (4-10yr) & elderly parents to our place in Sagle from CO. Been checking the weather apps, and worried about it being smoky or hard to breathe. Any feedback is appreciated.
