Right, but her's is an '04 Toyota Sienna, mine is an '04 F150, it was high mileage when we bought it, but it's what we could afford at the time.
What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Take the money from the Sienna and buy a chebby astro AWD. 
Just getting house foundered here as are the kids. Work schedule is a friggen fiasco. Rained out, snowed out...
Remember when you could not get into your wood without getting stuck Andy?
So wet here, you can't work in some places with out tearing it up and creating erosion issues. Sooooooooo...
At least my hail was small today, turned to snow and there are no tornadoes

Been a busy day here, covering windows and dealing with the hundreds of phone call and roofers that came out of the wood work, man it's a mess around here!
A few pics, keep in mind I am a size 12 shoe and the one pic is plastic guttering with holes through it. I've seen hail. I've seen hail this big. But I've NEVER seen hail this big come down sideways!

Strong grounds for a carport of some sort. I'm damn glad I have MINE!

I dig hammocks.
Yikes, I guess that would mess up a target pretty quick.

I think it's going to work out to our benefit. We are getting another roof, and I'm pretty sure the truck, and I know the van will get totaled. I'll buy the truck back and mama will get a new/newer van, which is what I've wanted for a while anyway.
One of the neighbors has a new Subaru Tribeca, had it a month, it was $10k to fix it on the estimate! I wont be able to get ours in until next week to find out.
Like I said, that was something to watch, I've never seen baseball and larger, hail come down sideways! You can't run up the main street in town without hitting a roofing co. sign every ten feet!
It's WAY too early for hail this large, this isn't going to be a good year weather wise here!

Wow, that hail was huge! I have only seen hail once, many years ago in Orlando. It was so weird to see all the cars with round dings in them.

Gigi, was that in the late 1980s? I remember that one as well, everybody with a pickup and hammer became a roofer overnight, and within a year they were all gone because everybody had new roofs.

Temps in the 90s the last few days. Too early in the year for this kind of heat. I'm still busy cutting down uprooted trees from our little storm two weeks ago, I sure hope Scott's storm doesn't make it down this way.

I don't think we even had a winter this year. Not once did I wear my long underwear.

We had 2 windstorms last week. First one was not terrible. But it saturated the ground and set up nice for Saturday's storm.

Perfect day on Saturday, not a cloud and high 70's. Rain all day and night Sunday.
Not bad on Monday but a touch of winter this morning, 48. Cool and windy most of the day, had to wear my winter shorts. I was having a winge to myself but then I thought about Kansas and shut up.

It was 77 in Buffalo Sunday. Up here by Lake Ontario, 25 miles away, 20* cooler. A little cool and breezy this morning. Low 40's. The Barn Swallows made an appearance Sunday. That always makes me happy. I love those little birds. The always look so happy and they are beautiful.

Swallows are a hoot . They come out in droves when I mow my front field stirring up flying insects .
Little observed fact .They raise a couple of broods a year .The fledgelings from the first brood stick around and help feed the second brood . Fact is in the little barn on the "home place " there have been nesting swallows as far back as I remember . I'll get some pics later on in the season .

You want to see something funny. A barn swallow fell out of a nest that was impossible to access. We stuck it in a nest that was easy to get to. The one we put in the nest was twice the size of its nest mates. They didn't object to adopting.

Just started raining here about a minute ago. First rain we've had in two weeks. Maybe it will cool things off a little.

Well what sucks about that is likely the precipitation will turn it into a sauna .Kinda funny though because the "snowbirds " including my wifes aunt are making the trip back north since the weather is getting a tad hot for them in central Fla .She got in two days ago from Sebring .

Sunny and warm today. I needed a little thawing out from last nights last push with the topless Jeep. Felt nice

We got a little rain last night .For me that should work out well with newly seeded grass so it germinates before the seed eating birds gets it .
