A little pressure...

I'm starting to feel the pressure of the fall season coming on. I have finally removed all the antennas, wiring, etc. from my wrecked probe. Now all I have left to do is install it all in my current one. I've been debating on whether or not to build a platform to mount all antennas, devices, etc. to on the roof, or just to directly mount everything. I really don't have much to mount, but my problem is adding to it in the future. I may want to add another radio, or get a Wilson antenna for my data connection, or maybe something else. Moving stuff around will create more holes than I would like, even though I will never resell it. Bah, now I'm just rambling. I think I'll just mount it them directly. I also need to buy another piece of 12" x 12" plexiglass for my laptop platform and form it.
On a side note, I've started carpooling with a couple people from Edmond to Stillwater. This means I will have to pay a little more attention to the space I take up with equipment.
Hope they aren't adverse to storm chasing... :)

My first purchased chase video

A good chaser friend of mine, Steve Miller, recently purchased and reviewed a chase video. I highly value this friend's opinion, and being a good review, I decided to purchase my first chase video. I haven't purchased videos in the past not because I don't want to support fellow chasers, but because I have 3 kids to support, and the sparse money I spend on chasing goes for the essentials. My decision isn't based soley on his review though, as I have heard good things about the producer's past work, and I repect him as a knowledgable chaser. So as soon as I receive it, we'll see what I think of Shane Adam's Lemonade.
