Managed to remount my jarhead trunk panel(was too low and soaked up water when it rained) and that was all for today. Ran some errands, now i'd like to sleep. This rain is making me tired.

It's a EF3- EF4 tornado mile wide!

This morning one of the local stations showed some video from inside a storm chaser vehicle and it got it's roof torn off! Can you imagine the adrenaline rush (and the amount of debris left in your shorts) that would induce? I tried to find the video but couldn't. However I did find some video of the tornado as it approached Moore. Part 2 is the news crew following it as it passes through town. Watching it sure gives you a renewed respect for Mother Nature when she gets pissed!

Here's the video:

Good Afternoon EV1!
Were home from Camping....It was nice to get away for a cpl days..
Sunday... It was a perfect sunshiny day! Great for camping... The park was Jammed full to the 9's! Got to watch a bunch of freighters going up and down the STClair river. You dont see that everyday!

Monday???
Whered the warm sunshiny weather go? It was in the 50's and damp...
We stil managed a few laps around the campgrounds....There was like a 5 hr wait at the dump station... Good thing we waited to come home today!!!!
Monday night was nothing but heavy downpours... Good thing we packed up most everything knowing we were leaveing today.... Cause it came down in Buckets! So, the mrs and I resolved our selves to some Movies,Spirits and Yahtzee... (Adult Style) hehehehehehe
Before turning in for the night.... This morning the rain stopped just long enough for us to get hooked up and emptied at the dump station not a minute to soon! as we were leaveing the rain started pouring down once again...

By the time we hit the inner city of Detroit heading home... It finally was letting up....Once we arrived home it stopped once again...So we got the camper unpacked, Camper reparked in the Back yard.... Got the scooter out of the back of the truck and the tonneau cover re snapped up (Wish I had 1 that folds up)... I guess maybe nexttime... Lizzys still catchn up on the Laundry, Went Grocery Shopping, All the while I took a 2 1/2 hr nap. While she was gone....

I did however, get my confirmation from the NMCOA that I am officially Registerd for the Show! WoHooooooo!
Is it June yet?

Have a Great Day EV1!

good evening everyone Rough inventory today...part of it I had to break out my 'man' muscles as I like to call them and yank out old car batterys from shelves that are 6 ft deep to be counted. Its crazy what I was pulling out! some of these things are from 2006!

Home now relaxing..noticed one of my angel plants had mites again. It happens every year. Washed out the roots and re-planted in the pot with fresh soil.....when I opened my bag of soil look at what I found.....more plants in the bag!

Evening everyone.

Checking back in real quick after a long weekend up North at the lake. Made it back home around 11:30am this morning. I'm exhausted but it was nice to have a few days to relax and not have to work.

We're in for some severe weather this evening, and we actually have some tornado warnings as we speak.

yes it did! I was suprised...those seeds were leftover from a pot that I thought had failed plants. I switched another plant into that pot since it was bigger and saved the extra dirt. the plant is looking a whole lot better in just a few hours.
