Trying to anyway Rick. Woke up at 0630 this morning. Did a few things on the computer. Then around 0800 my little brother calls and needed picked up on the other side of town. He was in a near head on collision. Guy pulled out in front of him from a side street. Luckily he was able to slow down and avoid a direct head on with the guy. But his car took a bit of a beating. So a nice 30 minute drive to get him and his room mate and take them back to their place. We stop to look at his car at the tow yard since it was on the way back to his apartment. Will need a new front clip, drivers headlight, a rim, maybe a hood and new door skin and that is just what I could see from a quick look. Then tonight was a costly night for my wallet.

Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Sean, and Ian! 
We have a tropical storm passing thru right now. The weather guy is telling us to expect between 3" and 6" of rain tonight and tomorrow.
That much rain will put an end our drought.
Spent the day in Galesburg sorting through Patty's parents belongings and emptying their home.

That's a lot of water.
We had a tropical storm pass through probably 6 years ago and dumped 7" on us.
As long as the sump pump stays working we have no problems.
