Sorry to hear that Boxster. My grandfather passed away a few years back from complications of Alzheimers. Sad to see your loved ones in that condition.
 
You should head over to BCC country. Mason City area looks like a thunderstorm magnet lately.

Added Weather Underground app to phone with it's cool WunderMap that shows storm tracks.


It is $10 but hands down the best radar app is RadarScope.
 
Well, I get to road trip back to Iowa tomorrow morning. Hospice folks got called in for my mother this afternoon. Don't want to leave my sister hanging out alone on this one, so, as much as I am not looking forward to this it's travel time. My mother will never know the difference (hasn't been aware of anything for years) but definitely know my sis wants me there. Not really a sad thing for me since my mother is 92 and been in this vegetative state for over five years. Sad is that she has lingered on so long in this condition.

Safe travels Boxster, Thoughts and prayers sent your way.

I lost my dad a little over a year ago. Cause of death was listed as complications of dementia. Fortunately when he went downhill, he went fast. Died the day before their 60th anniversary. He was never the same after that bypass surgery and he had times when he realized it. Found a love letter he wrote mom on their 55th anniversary. He put it in a place that we would only find after he had passed.
 
Not sure how the double post happened.
KC, Boxster, Rev, Thanks for the advice, laid down for a bit feeling better now.

BCClone, Did you end up in the storms? It should have been right in your area.
 
N-dubs, are you feeling better?

Yeah, just worn down a bit. Thought I was pretty careful today, but IDK maybe it was the heat exhaustion thing. I was feeling good until the spinning room thing. Take care of PapaLew on that roof.
 
I went to the Blue Jays game tonight. Got there late because we spent more time at Niagara Falls than we planned on. Walkoff homer by Encarnacion in 11 innings. It was great.

I'm on this trip with my dad. The main purpose is to pick up a car he bought online. We're doing that in the morning and then heading back.

I won't lie - I'm worried about him. I can't stop him though. The tree canopy makes it pretty shady up there, so that helps. And breezes from the north come across the creek & up the hill...so a little natural cooling.

What a FUN way to spend time with your dad! I love hearing that. :)

Sorry to hear this boxster. May you and your family be able to remember all the wonderful times you spent with your mom.

On the edge. I was in algona at a baseball game and my wife was in Saint ansgar for softball (about 2 hours apart). We just got light rain but the wife was rained out. The farm looks to have been flooded out. Will find out tomorrow morning. I usually check Albert Lea for what they got.

Nope.
 
Anyone watch The Voice?

It seems like a competitor (Christina Grimmie) from 2014 was shot point blank and killed at a meet and greet after a show tonight.
