Fireworks in Heber are launched from the football field. My favorite spot for years has been the softball field. The whole display is set up to pop low, like 200ft, to keep the show inside of Buckskin canyon. You can feel the detonation, smell the smoke. The kids always love it.

Some kind of eggs in a small pond in a drying up creek These tadpoles hatched in the wrong place at the wrong time. A pleasant little pond. Birds, etc. around. Flies annoying… I filled up empty bottles here for my “Arab air conditioner “ in next post

Very strange here. In the morning it was hotter in the mountains than in the desert. It’s usually 20-30 degrees cooler depending on elevation. I went to go hiking by a creek but it was 104 and the creek was mostly dry.

The problem with the hydraulic pump is the plate circle which is an adapter from the bolt pattern on the engine to the conical aluminum mount for the pump was apparently hacked out by hand. I’m sure it doesn’t hold the pump concentric/straight with the engine. He’s lucky nothing else is...
