We were away geocaching last week and as we were heading home we saw a nasty looking storm north of us. We never got under the storm but I saw reports of golf ball sized hail and a funnel cloud with it.

Garmin’s customer support is great. My 60csx was two years old and well out of the warranty. For some reason It wouldn’t acquire satellites out of nowhere. I tried some fixes I googled then called Garmin and tried some things they had me do with no luck. They sent me a replacement which didn’t ower on but then they sent me a good one.

I got woken up by a nice surprise thunderstorm last night. Radar showed a line exploding with warnings to our west. We got under a break in the line but still had a nice light show.

Tropical storm Dolly has formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Looks like that one should strengthen into a hurricane and the make landfall in Texas. That’ll give me something to track.

I guess our storm shield has ended here. We wound up having a nice thunderstorm here with good winds. It wasn’t severe but it was a good storm nonetheless.

Yesterday was a very humid day. Small thunderstorms were popping up but missing us. They seemed to be focused along the Susquehanna and were stationary.

Thee other day I stumbled on a website for a Pizza place in Mount Joy. It was a terrible website that required flash or didn’t give you any information. I hate flash websites for the sake of being “pretty”

I saw something interesting on Slashdot this morning. It was about the sound of charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field.

I have been using Firefox 3 since the beta version and I’ve been really pleased with it. It seems so much faster than the old version was.

Severe weather season has been active this year. SPC has us in a moderate risk area again.
