Below is what we have to look forward to this weekend. It is the Weather Channels Warning I get when the weather is going to hit the fan. Bill and Karen should be scared very scared.

In other news today I tought myself how to soder copper water lines ( O the joy of home ownership). Also I was able to get out for a few rides this week since the temps were rather warm and sunny. I wonder what airline Bill and Karen are coming in on? I should proberly find out so I know where to meet them.
