This is one hell of a year, and it will continue to be one hell of a year. I just bought new tires in preparation for the insane amounts of rain I'm expecting we'll have. Crossing my fingers hoping that a tornado doesn't make its way up to the Chicago area. Its been a very long time since one has come up this far.

We get them in Wisconsin all the time. Mainly in June.

Glad you are ok and Bubba was unscathed and made it to the Memorial Day Parade.

Was great to see a Hungry Howie Pizza Store. When I lived near you (1986-198 I loved Hungry Howies with the flavored crusts. The garlic butter crust w sesame seeds was may favorite. Not sure if I would like Howie'* as much today, b ut back then it was a treat to get one of their pizzas.

They are still good lol and yah we had to crawl over a few downed trees on the roadway but we were fine!

supposed to be a big storm today/tonight not sure when.. i wish something crazy but not too crazy would happen here...

I remember one year a ton of our trees were blown over and blocked my quad trails.. we had no power for a week or more and our stuff was blown all over the place.. i remember taking the caprice down the road to a rest stop and filling up huge jugs of water all the time..
