My last two weeks

…in pictures.

Wrestlemania 22
My view at Wrestlemania 22.

Bealt St.
The UTC Reference Team on Beale St. in Memphis, TN.

Hail!
Driving back from Memphis through the worst storm system in years. Over 40 tornadoes, winds over 60 MPH, hail in places the size of baseballs…and we were driving home. This was the scene during one part of our drive….a sudden hail storm left this in its wake.

Fish
And finally, fishing with Dad on Tim’s Ford and Guntersville Lakes.

I’m ready for some quiet time at home.
