Rowland, Okie Boys, Tyler and maybe me. BIL has a fishing trip planned for Saturday night, and these have been known to be all nighters.

I think we need a North Texas roll call after yesterday's/last night's wicked weather.

Rob checkin' in, everything is good. Might have to re-aim the satellite dish, but that's it

Alive & well here. All the bad stuff went around us!
But I heard this AM that the Rosevelt Bridge, across Lake Texoma, is closed? Can't find out why?

Mike checkin' in, all systems go... had to reconfigure the flux capacitor after that lighting strike, but the Optima saved the bytes from leaking out of the hard drive reservoir.

All is well in Richardson.....plenty wet though. Pretty bad in Plano, about three miles north. Talked to a neighbor at The Ranch and he said it wasn't too bad up there.

PM'd Justin in Carrolton, but haven't heard back...........

Wondering about Brian's folks around Fairfield..............

Dublin Duallydog still present and accounted for. So far I've just seen a few twigs and one big limb down. When the lightning started last night I thought a 105mm Howitzer went off under my bedroom window.

So it's not Global Warming causing problems.... It's Dan's anniversary!
I'm marking my calender to be sure I'm out of town on this date, 2013.

What did Mike say?

Better keep watch. It looks like it's all headed your way!

Does seem like Gainsville is a bad weather magnet these days.

We just got a bit of wind and rain here.. No hail like last week.

Pretty good winds back home, glad the boat wasn't in the boathouse... Waves were pretty massive coming into the cove. Other than that a couple of limbs down, no big deal!

Just filled up the Jetta today... Just over 700miles on this tank

53.4MPG!! Man It's really sad how much I'm liking this car...

I was pretty happy to see 15.3 on the Dodge last weekend...

Tank will be way full for the track next weekend oh well

Man, it's really sad how much I'm sick of hearing it.
Call our Law enforcement friend! You can talk mileage and he can talk tranny!
Let's put it on the dyno and see you rave!

Actually I'm just envious of you both (probably figured that, already). I want my Jetta back and I want my tranny to be new!
