Recommending Weather Underground.

No, not the 70's radical political group.


This is a great weather website. They pull info from the National Weather Service as well as multiple "backyard" weather stations.


My favorite feature is their radar map. Click on the radar image and you get a highly customizable weather radar. I can zoom in for a more precise information, but I like to keep the entire state visible.

There are several tweaks you can apply to the map. I max it out to 6 frames animation. this is usually about 20 minutes of radar info. The REALLY cool part is, I leave it in a tab in Firefox and it just keeps updating. I've had it up several days already with no problems. So I just click on the tab to check and 2 seconds later I've had my weather fix.

Here's the site.

New Blog!!

Introducing Ava A Day!

Every day a new picture of the cutest granddaughter I have. :)

Some days will be floods, but I'll try to put up one pic every day. (now I get to look at autoposters...yeehah)

Coming soon.....the new band site. We should have a name in the next week or so. We'll have a myspace page as well as a blog and pics and everything! (whee)

Right now, we are learning a new batch of songs that will feature Karl and Shelah's multiple talents. Keep looking in. Both of you. :)

PS....I noticed that a post I did about Karl and Shelah coming to practice wound up on my high school website instead of this one. My bad. :) These guys are great people and great players. We're gonna have a LOT of fun and get out on the road soon, so keep looking for us.
