Deluxe Bumblebee mod

Near as I can figure, the TFA design team didn't leave enough margin for drop tests, leading to a lot of last second changes that screwed up aesthetics and functionality. Lockdown's hands, Megatron's cannon strut, and now Bumblebee's stingers:

Okay, a UPS has limits.

Storm front coming through. Power went out. UPS held, I started to back out of things and shut down before the UPS ran out of power. And then we got a nice power surge that tripped the UPS's breakers, and everything shut off anyway. D'oh.

Tornado missed me

A tornado touched down in Manhattan KS, possibly even on the K-State campus (not confirmed yet). But it missed me, thankfully.

Update: KSU press release. The building where I work was damaged, and the mail server there is still down, so I don't know any details. I am darkly amused that the Wind Erosion Lab was blown away, though....

Another update: Well, classes are cancelled, so I get to juggle my syllabus. Summer classes don't have a lot of room for changes, though. At least the lab schedule has some wiggle room...I guess everyone gets to have labs on July 3 after all.
