Wow, time does fly when you are busy, and busy I have been. I am just about in the middle of the last semester of community college before the 4 year school is set to begin in August.
Storm Chasing season is just about here in just about a month for the Sunflower State. Some new equipment is in the process of being purchased for the new season, including a weather station for the Xterra along with a small HD camcorder (those cheap Aiptek ones) for use as a dash cam. The resolution produced on the Aiptek is 1440X1080 which will match that of the HV30 that I currently have. The car is slated for a small repair sometime in the next month to correct a problem that it is having with the overdrive (car likes kicking itself in and out of the 5th gear when I'm coasting on the highway). Other than that, there are no major equipment purchases to be made this year as I have been saving up some dough for the 4 year school (NW Missouri State in Maryville, Missouri, for those who are wondering) and for a trip to Walt Disney World for myself and my kids in August. And yes, I have been saving up for that occasional storm chase that'll pop up here and there this season. Good times are abound in the months ahead as I shift away from the working world and back into the educational setting that I was in before, of course, without putting a damper on the storm chasing activities, I hope.
This Winter has been pretty much a scathe away from all of the nasties that come with the season. We haven't really had much of any snow or ice to contend with in the Kansas City Metro, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on who you ask.
Well, it's a short hour and some before my shift is to start at work tonight so I'll leave it at this for right now. Hey, at least it's an update!
