Michael,
Yes there have been a few opportunities to chase storms of late. My best for this season thus far is the storm last Tuesday. I did at least 12 to 13 hours of driving on this day but managed thanks to your assistance to get the storm drifting across from Coonabarabran. This storm may have been [...]

Michael,
Time has been passing by rapidly with the wedding preparations well underway. The excitement is building and it should be an excellent day for us. Imelda, Kimberly and I are doing well and Kim has settled into the school doing tons of homework - she loves school! Her English is improving as well - I [...]

Michael,
I can understand the ‘frustrations’ of organising meeting material and the time taken. I am pretty sure some appreciate them but don’t show it - others may be too ignorant to pass on such a simple word “Thanks”.
As to weather, today was coooollllldddd. This morning killed my hands which is rare for me. And the day itself [...]
