Just sitting here trying to come up with stuff I'd like to get if I had the money..

- New (bigger) UPS unit to keep the computers from getting zapped during Iowa's severe weather..
- A copy of Weather Message to both keep me updated (either at my desk or on my cell) on the previously mentioned severe weather as well as to semi automate some of my work with updating Midwest Skywarn and/or Iowa-Skywarn.org
- RAM Upgrade for my laptop computer (I'm assuming its not getting replaced as I'm only in school for at most another year)
-Replace my aging desktop computer
- New Router
- Perhaps a GPS Unit

Starting around Easter break I'll probably start moving things to Madrid and putting the network back together in the house, havent figured out the summer job but I'd like to avoid Wal-Mart if at all possible..

Thats all for now..

Here's a rough rundown of last night's severe weather in the area, times estimated..
