Wow, some powerful storms we had roll through this morning. Kinda irritating because I was staying with a relative in town. The storm woke me up about 4AM but I managed to go back to sleep for an hour. That put me at five hours of combined sleep! Hurrah! Anyways, they issued a tornado warning for a few counties, including mine, even though there was not even a funnel cloud. They issue them for a possibility now? I thought that is what the tornado watch was for! It used to be that way, but that was several years ago.

I went back to bed when I got home for a couple of hours, which put me about seven hours of combined sleep, thank God! Have been cleaning all morning, rearranged my computer and set-up two others that I have, running one as a server and the other I am going to put Linux on (though I do not know which distribution yet). Was supposed to be painting a garage today but with the rain this morning and more coming throughout the day we decided to put it off until this weekend (because tomorrow we have had the day planned for being off).

The black computer (and monitor to the right) is my gaming computer and the computer I am composing this from. It is yet another custom build of mine. The other monitor goes to the other two computers, the computer in the middle being a server. Anyways, there are more storms supposed to be coming through today and tonight, so we will see how things go.

It is only 79 degrees (F) with a heat index of 82. Was supposed to be near 90 today but I think the rain cooled us down. The humidity, though, is 77% and we can not use the air-conditioning with utility prices being so high. We can barely afford to heat our house in the winter (being surrounded by corn fields, even though we live in a town) it gets extremely cold. We are getting two box fans to put in the windows, though, so it won't be so bad.
