Good luck with the clean up Tony. We were lucky, we only had some hard downpours.

Tony, how did the weather treat you yesterday? Looked like there was a lot of lightening up your way. Everybody got dumped on with rain but the lightening up your way looked bad. Hope all is well.

We got some lightning strikes, heavy rain, and some high winds. Not much damage here, but my brothers house, a couple of miles away, had some trees come down. They lost power for most of the afternoon. raining here now. Looks like a pretty good storm rolling in from the NW.

Just looked at the weather map, looks like a big cell over Flint right now, stay safe.

I have something to say!!!!!
Hurry up 4th of July and a long 4 dayer.......

We got some high winds in Fenton and lost a tree that was pushed over...time to get the chain saw sharpened and get to work.

Got a funny story for you that I bet has not happened to anyone else.

I was down in Fort Wayne for work this week and on Wed morning I went to leave my room at the Hampton Inn and I was locked in.

At first I was thinking I was doing something wrong and after a couple of minutes I was sure I was doing it right and I had the dead bolt undone. I then had to call the front desk and the girl came up with the master electronic key and still could not get it open. They then had to call the maintenance guy which is not on site...so a half hour later he showed up and tried again with the master key and nothing. He then went and got a crow bar and saw zaw and proceeded to pry the door open enough to get the saw zaw in to cut the bolt action off...so 45 minutes later I'm out. They said it has never happened before and he has been a building maintenance guy for the hotel owner who has 15 hotels in the area for 30 years.

I stay there a least 2 times a month and all they gave me is room for free for that night and it did not benefit me in one bit because TRW pays for it anyway. Oh well its funny now.

Sounds like you're a very patient person. I would have been a little upset, specially if i were goin home.

I was, but I knew it was not anyone's fault and it was just one of those things and I was going into the office so I was just a little late..oh yeah I got a call that the rental car I was driving had to brought to the closest Enterprise location for a exchange because of a saftey recall....

Sounds like you're on a roll Ric. Tree down, locked in a hotel room, driving a car that has a safety recall. You're right though, you weren't hurt just little inconvenience, nothing to get all worked up about.
