Passed thru TS 30 at ~15:40. Adam and Pat feeling a lot better today. Adam's knee still bothering him, but getting by very well.
Adam had a sidewall blowout on his rear tire a few minutes ago. The wheel were switched out and new tire and tube were mounted and the defaulted wheel. Pat was sleeping, so, I had to quietly and stealthly slip into the rear of the van and acquire a new Conti tire, and mounted it from the front passenger seat of the van.
Quickly following this was a nice cold down pour which lowered the temps back down to managable levels. Adam was very appreciative of the cold and warm spots, something which he hasn't felt in quite a while, as the last few shifts have been over at 80 at night and triple digits during the day.
Adam and Pat each did a longer pull of 45 mins to an hour and are now changing back to the 30 mins shifts now with their added rest benefits.
The storm and lightening seem to be headed to the south of us.
We are approaching Lake of the Ozarks, which was the point of the Tornado of last year. About 50 miles west yet.

Everyone at work was so impressed about how quick the tire switch out was. You guys are an awesome pit crew!! Keep it up, stay cool AFC.
Thanks Cleo, we try to do things at a nascar pit crew pace. Unfortunately I saw a blowout/cut from the sidewall after I put that tube in. So, after I turned the camera around, I had to take it off again, go to the back of the van while pat was sleeping/van moving. so I took it off again and replaced it. All in the comfort of the spacious front passenger seat.-THE GOAT
