October 27, 2025 – Longmont, CO

Today was spent with a drive up to Longmont, CO for a solar inspection. When I accepted the appointment I did not realize it involved a drive up a 3.7 mile, almost vertical dirt road with multiple switchbacks, single car width, no guardrails and pretty steep drop-offs. I did stop on the way down in a few places to take a few photographs. This area was part of the 2024 wildfires.

The fire retardant dropped from the air tankers can corrode and etch both metal and glass if not cleaned off properly in a timely manner. This is becoming an immense problem in all of the wildfire areas. It is a corrosive material.

This evening I completed yet another continuing education course in the Healthy Homes Series I am trying to finish. Got a ways to go, this is a pretty long series of courses. 2 down 16 to go. Maybe I will have that done by next year.

It’s going to get cold tonight. The morning low will be 25 degrees. To make this more special it was raining this evening so everything may be a little slick in the morning.

Here are a few photographs from my travels today.

And we have another certificate for the collection.
