There were definitely some serious storms to end the week. Middletown got hammered. Lots of limbs down in my yard this morning. I was away with my daughter in PA, but got pictures from the wife. Thursday night's storms cut our power for most of the night. Way too hot to be without even a fan.

Spent Friday morning through midnight last night fixing damage from the storms that came through. Seems like it got nasty in some areas based on the damage we came across.

Hope the Midwest is cooler. It's been Hot & Steamy out here for the past week and a half. Today ties the record for longest heat wave on record. The Florida Everglades has nothing on Connecticut this August.
After running the A/C all summer, they're gonna have to come out and change the bearings in my electric meter.

Funding came through for the van a couple of months ago, and it went into the shop about a month ago. Got it back at the end of last week, and so far we're very happy with it. They did a great job on the conversion, too...they detailed it inside and out, weighed it afterward, replaced the payload sticker, and even performed a 4-wheel alignment at the end.

Sorry to hear about Hannah. Hoping the recovery goes well.
Sound like they did a good job with the Van.
Yeah the humidity here you could cut with a knife. Oppressive is the word. and still more to come.

Tom, P.S. Duluth this weekend for the Tall Ships Festival. Just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to take the boys. But I didn't know if Hannah was going to be any better, just a note.

Yep, definitely wanting to make it up for that. Duluth is about a 90-mile up I-35 for me; we just have to find time. Karri is working Friday and Saturday, so we may have to wait for Sunday. Thought about taking our little boat up there to cruise around the harbor, but I'm not sure we'd get anywhere close.

Morning
Been a while Justin. Good to see you back. Every time I get the truck washed I go by your place and lately wondering what was up. Good to hear things are good and a vacation in Maine. Sounds good.
I've been getting this loud vibration coming from the front end of the F250 when doing 70 or better, and the only thing I could attribute it to is the front guard. So yesterday I pulled the guard off the truck and washed the truck, then onto the highway and nothing quiet as a bug in a rug. So I had my son look at the construction of the part I felt was doing the vibrating and son agreed. We are going to spot weld 3 places along 2 sides and then weld 2 support bars on the back side of the plate. That should take care of the vibration.
