Picture: East of Salina, KS on I-70
Since I still don't have a bike to ride I thought I'd go off topic and talk about the weather. Weather is always an important topic in Kansas at this time of the year. Yesterday, as I was driving the DAV van back from Topeka, I drove through a bad storm in the Junction City area and then just a few miles East of Salina I came upon this scene. The picture is from the Salina Journal and doesn't show the other semi overturned about a quarter mile back. Never under estimate the power of the wind.
The storm that overturned the trucks also dropped hail and of course both the Buick and the S-10 got hit. I have to call the insurance today and go through all that BS. You know about that Pam.
There were several tornadoes sighted yesterday but I haven't heard of any damage. I wonder why Kansas doesn't have more deaths from tornadoes? It seems other states rack them up but you seldom hear of many deaths here even when there is lots of damage. Maybe we take it more seriously than people in other places. Having a warning siren on every corner probably doesn't hurt.
About the bike; the latest story is that the head gasket is finished but they had to order the sprocket again because they thought it came it but didn't. They told me they were having it overnighter and it would be there today. I am going to call again this afternoon and if they don't have it I think I'll just give up on getting the sprocket changed and go pick the thing up tomorrow. Just goes to show you that you should do your own work cause even if you don't fix it right you will know what you did wrong.
