Would end up choosing the supercell down south near Wichita Falls over the brief tornado producer in Osage County Oklahoma. When leaving shortly after 4pm, the Wichita Falls target seemed like the smarter one. Explosive development along the dryline and a boundary along the red river.
Replacing Wheel Bearing
Bill was having trouble with his vehicle, and as we returned home from lunch and pulled into my neighborhood, we heard the distinct noise of a wheel bearing going bad. As soon as we turned to the right, it went away. Rear passenger side bearing. I ran to Autozone to grab a wheel bearing, Bill went to work on getting the old one pulled off the vehicle. We’d spend approximately an hour replacing the bearing, getting done around 4pm.
