NOTHING like 40mph winds to start the day. Except it’s not even 4:00 yet.

It can’t come soon enough. I just heard some porta potties blow over. These are NOTHING but the strongest winds I’ve seen on this fire. There’s going to be a lot of ruined tents to see when the sun comes up i have a feeling.

Uh-oh. Sounds like your last couple days may not be boring. Sorry you are awake so early. We need you to be NOTHING but alert on the job. Hope you can get back to sleep for a few.....

:pray: for your day ahead and especially for your safety.

Nope. NOTHING doing on the sleep front. We’re getting gusts up to 54mph. So far. I’m starting to worry about my tent staying upright if this continues. They say it’s rated for 70mph but I’d rather not test it.

It would be nice if they could blow the fire out but I am sure that's not how it works. NOTHING but Labor Day today and you are the one who is laboring for us. Stay safe.

Darn, I'm sorry to hear that. Aside from being concerned that you might blow away, I'm hoping you can stay alert enough today to keep your wits about you. We will expect less than NOTHING from you tonight. You will probably come home and crash.

One thing I feel confident about you is that you seem to be very prepared but I'd rather the tent not be tested either. Hope you have more than your NOTHING on just in case.....lol

Ah, yes......Labor Day. Thanks for adding that, fw. Thinking of all those who are working today, especially at jobs that help to keep the rest of us NOTHING but safe.

We thought Fenney was very nice. It was like TV down to Brownwood was the city and Fenney was the Countryside. Very beautiful but not for us. We like being midway between the three squares. Moving is NOTHING I want to do again.

Depending on how the winds are blowing up on the fire this could create NOTHING but problems. Might even trigger evacuations again.

Today I think I’ll be taking my 5 Hour Energies intravenously. NOTHING but kidding. I’ll be drinking them like shooters. lol

Sometime nothing gets in the way expressing a thought.

Thank-you, Stay safe--and thank your team for us too.

97 more NOTHINGS and you will get your digits. I am still not sure if the mini ones should count but we have no one to interpret the manifesto :ohdear:

Just thinking about this, and K, no offense taken if you want to read this another time because it's long -

I hope NOTHING has felt more like a friend to you rather than a burden while you've been on duty. Our expectations of you are NOTHING except that you stay safe and hopefully have the time and energy to let us know that you are. I guess what I'm trying to say is that our purpose is to let you know we are here for you, cheering you on, and praying for your safety each day. On your end, I was thinking it is nice to have a 24 hour NOTHING to just lay it out there, whatever you want or need at the time, and not feel like you're really disturbing anyone.

Which takes me back to the night I was in the ER with my husband and we weren't sure whether it was just a kidney stone or something more serious. They wouldn't allow me to go right back with him and I was sitting in the waiting area, alone and concerned. I wanted to talk to someone but didn't want to call or even text someone at that hour - it was after midnight. So I posted on NOTHING and there you were K. Thank goodness for our left coast friend. You stuck with me through the whole ordeal, showing concern, encouraging me, and even making me laugh at times. I can't believe as I'm writing this it's bringing tears to my eyes - what a sissy I am. But I guess it just goes to show that your act of kindness and generosity of time (it was many hours) meant that much to me. Thank you for being my NOTHING friend.

My reason for posting this is that I hope you feel the same kind of concern, encouragement, and laughter from us to you.

I'm taking the lead on this decision - they NOTHING, I mean nothing, but count.

See what I mean, K. Just look at this rally of early morning NOTHING support. This thread is a blessing, I don't care what the naysayers say.
