Driving to work this morning was exciting. It was like someone was flipping the switch on a sprinkler system

I woke up to half of a tree across my backyard and some fairly large branches in front of my garage door.

Power went out to the whole town of Platteville sometime around 3am this morning, still isn't back on.  Slept right through it until I woke up to the noise from the generator at the old folks home across the street.  Apparently I should get some kind of weather radio, any recommendations?

One that's battery powered would probably be a bonus.

Other then a lake in the field behind us and our microwave display flashing... Didn't even know it rained last night!

I made a pneumatic dart/ear plug gun at work.......

So I got stuck down in Phoenix while all these storms went down, sleeping in a truck with basically no A/C sucked and my 3G connection was meh hence me being absent for a couple days. On a good note I have a job interview Monday when I get back for something local and I get to be home everyday

So after making brake lines. Bleeding brakes. Changing t stat. Finding ground issues with a multi meter that might have well as been in French. Fixing axles. New cv boots. New coolant temp sensor. Draining fuel. Doing a disc brake conversion and listening to the sword. The mini lives.

It's super awkward calling "shotgun" and getting into the "drivers seat"

It definitely needs an alignment and some more suspension tuning (it's in coils - that are like two inches) but as of now it still handles pretty awesome.

Saying "Bless you" when someone sneezes is stupid and makes no sense.
