Yeah. I thought we got a lot of rain, but I was in Lincoln yesterday and everything was out of its banks.

Hey Chris. Did you see what Haymarket park looked like? It went from a baseball stadium to a lake! I guess they had it all cleared out today.

Not sure where that is. I drive for Hy-vee and was going north on 70th from pioneers and that park was all flooded. Had the gates closed and police at the entrances.

It's just north of downtown on 180. There were several towns south of Lincoln that had to be evacuated.

Monday for certain, not a good one here. My aunt passed away over the night. She was blind from birth, but that didn't stop her from doing the things she wanted to do. She loved to ride motorcycles (obviously not drive) mess with her Ham radio equipment, built and fixed a lot of that herself, got a bachelors degree from ISU, and blazed the trail to force the FCC to allow disabled people to work in radio. She wasn't one to say "I cant" very often...

As to the weekend, been building a little trailer so I can haul smaller things without having to use my big trailer. I have about $250-300 into it, and it is built the way I want it to be, not some cookie cutter compromise.
