Not too bad for the storms, but sounds like more are coming...

Cooled it down a bit at least.

Not to bad! Did nothing Saturday which was nice for a change. Did some bowling this morning with the wife and kid. Then went to lunch with them and my Mom! So not to bad.

Just looking at the weather again, looks like the camping GTG will be toasty.

No one backed into my truck! woohoo!! It has a layer of dirt and dust that is really bad so once I get it washed I will double check for any issues but all seems good! My buddy with his new toyhauler was too tall and caught a power line that was lower than it should have been so that was a little tense when it was laying across his camper. But we got it all taken care of!

Yikes! I'd say that would be tense. Never had that happen before to me, but I'm sure it's happened before...

Well, hate to bail early. But it's gonna be hot and I'm tired already.

Good Morning All.


I finally got to see my first tornado yesterday. Really cool even though it lasted about 3 minutes and was really really tiny.

I will be at the GTG this weekend. When do you guys plan on getting there?

Morning Lee!! I bet seeing that tornado was quite a sight! As long as it wasn't close to your house!

That is great that you can make it! We are planning on leaving here about 12-12:30 and it will take a couple hours to get there I suppose.
