Good morning everyone. Just another work day in Mexico. Heading home Friday. I'm anxious to get home this time because I have four separate orders that will be, or have already been, delivered by the time I return home. It'll be like Christmas again. 
I've always been interested in severe weather. Storm chasing would be so much fun!
Devin, I think this system is diving south of us for the most part. Sounds like the southern MI counties bordering Ohio are suppose to get 1-3" while areas North of that will get a trace to 1". There's a slight warming trend throughout the week so I'm sure it's all going to be gone by the time I get home later this week anyway.

Keane, did you find a storage spot?
Had a little disaster last night here at home. Water pipe supplying water to the dish washer burst. Went down stairs about an hour before going to work only to find the laundry area of the basement raining water all over the place. Luckily there's no drywall in this old house. And the basement is unfinished, so nothing needed to be thrown out. I turned off the water shutoff supplying the dishwasher, cranked up the dehumidifier in the area to help dry the place, and went to work. Came home to find the laundry area about 90% dried out. So far, so good.
Keeping the dehumidifier running today. And hopefully all will be okay.
Ironically, I already had a repair guy scheduled to do some warranty repair on the dishwasher for an unrelated issue. But not till thursday. Gotta wash dishes by hand for now.
Washing dishes by hand should be considered inhumane. Or cruel and unusual punishment.

David,
This laptop I'm using has XP Pro on it. That's what I'll use while I'm chasing. It's the desktop that still has Vista. I'll probably delete Vista off of it once I go through the files on there. I'll keep your offer in mind if I think of keeping a Windows based OS on there so thanks. I don't use the desktop nearly as much though so I don't know how much I could justify it. I'd also need more time to work on my computer projects as well.
Chasing is definitely fun. I've always been fascinated with storms since I grew up in Oklahoma. I'm hoping when I drive out there for a weekend in a month or so I have a chance to do some chasing. If not, I'll wait for an opportunity to chase locally some.

The worse it got...The more I liked it!...
So, heres my offer:
If and when you deceide to go chaseing...I would enjoy nothing more than doing the drive whilst you run the command post!
I liked the movie TWISTER...
Thats the ultimate adventure in weather id like to get involved in!
So, If you ever need a wingman..
Count me in!

Morning all. 1st Damn Dave don't you sleep any more ? Up at 3:30 am 
We were woke up by our phones going off. Got a text from both of our daughters 
Telling us that everyone is home today! No school in both cities where they live. Makes my 17 yr old grandson happy Plus my 13 and 11 yr old grand kids in St Micheals happy also. I shot Stumpmi ( Dave) some pixs of my sheet metal magnet note board I put up yesterday. Then worked on both bikes we bought at the patio sale Got both of them cleaned up and some New grips. Spent most of the day rearrangeing the shed. Put in the TV we had and also the $ 5. 00 radio I bought also. Turned out to be a fun day just doing nothing!. Today were off shopping for two recliners. After that I have NO idea whats going on here. I really hope this is that last storm you guys get this yr. Your sure making up for that one warm winter a few yrs ago . Ok DAVE wake up 
. Drop your socks and grab ........ Ok time to jump in the shower. later all.
