Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Ken, Shaun, Sean, Rod, and Ian!

Woke up this morning all socked in with a heavy fog. It lifted fairly quickly and was a cool overcast day. The weather guy says we'll be getting more severe thunderstorms tonight. That's good we need the rain.

We went to Galesburg as planed, Took my FIL to coffee with his cronies, then went back to his house and proceeded to trim the tree in his back yard so he could walk under it.

Howdy Shaun!

I saw on the evening news tonight that the East Coast is getting hammered with storms.

I don't know if that is effecting you or not?

Doing great Shaun, we can expect strong thunderstorms tonight after 10PM. Central Time

I don't think we'll receive enough to pull us out of the drought that we have going on right now.

We are still going good on the drought front. No sign of drought conditions here. Reservoirs are full to capacity.

We've received enough rain to keep the grass green except around the edges where its all brown.
