Time for some R&R before the weekend's Front Range action... while not very certain over this weekend's chase potential in Eastern Colorado, it does bare watching. I'll dive into models and probs tomorrow as I am pretty spent today and am looking forward to a full night's sleep in my own bed.
With a completely free day tomorrow, I am gonna keep myself busy. First and foremost is to bandage the Storm Tracer; 2 new tires, an oil change, and a new windshield wiper are on the list for her tomorrow. Also, I am gonna update chase logs from this week and put those up at some point tomorrow as well; those will include May 17's Nebraska Landspout and May 18's triple storm chase in Eastern Kansas. Still reeling over those lightning shots I took last night! May make a stop to blow a couple of them up for the wall!
Quick thanks to the gang of chasers I had the privilage to chase with this passed week; so many to name; Amos, Jon, Verne, Scott, Scott, Scott, Eric, Jeff, Kersten, Chris. Good to run into many chasers as well, including Eric B (too many same names), Dick, and several other
Stormtrackers that I briefly crossed paths with! As I've said a dozen times before and will repeat til my last chase, its the people that make chasing this fun! We spent nearly 8 hours shooting the breeze at various Kansas hotspots in the passed couple days, and those times are as fun as those beneath the mesos.
Amos Magliocco says it best in his blog...
Chasing with a great group like I'm privileged to do makes it even tougher to decide if I should hang it up for a few weeks or so and return when the pattern is more favorable. I'll probably go home, but the amazing storms and camaraderie is hard to leave behind.
I have to agree... half the experience is those times when you're not racing for your life or gawking over nature's beauty... its those times when you're in good company killing away the time beneath clear skies and good laughs. Thanks to many who continue to make chasing an all-around great way to spend he Spring... I look forward to next week's ventures in the company of you all again!
See you all in a couple days...
