Does anyone have a count of how many tornado days we have had this year/summer already in the chicago suburbs?

I'd love to start keeping count, because this is just ridiculous at this point. I've lived in the SW burbs for 30+ years and I think we have had more tornados this summer than at least the last 10 years combined. It is crazy out here and the season isn't even over yet.

Edit: I'm interested in number of days with tornados more than number of actual tornados, because each of these have had more than one, but I'm more curious about how many days we have had tornado storms

Does anyone have the IL pesticide applicator exam- Aquatics manual PDF?

I'm hoping to study for the Aquatics category, and was trying to find the PDF of the manual (or workbook) to study from. I'm hoping to avoid paying for the booklet, and they are on back order anyways. If anyone has the PDF to share, that would be great!

Anything similar to the geometry of the trek Verve+1? Worried about a few things

I test rode the Trek Verve+1 lowstep and really liked it a lot. There are a few things that make me hesitate though.

  1. The battery isn't removable. Which is nice to not worry about and makes it lighter, but also it would be nice to be able to remove it when parked outside and to be able to take it out to charge.

  2. It seems like the battery and therefore the range is smaller than similar bikes. How much will this affect things? It is also lighter, so I expect to not need pedal assist as much?

  3. The price is higher than I would prefer, I wanted to aim for something more around $1,500.

I really liked the feel of this bike though. It there one similar I should try out before committing? I also tried the townie line, I didnt like the cruiser style. The Verve was more forward, but not super forward like some bikes.

Color match? Dark blue Billy vs Lack Blue-Black?

I have 2 Dark blue Billy bookcases with the glass doors. I would like to put the Lack floating shelves in between them for plants, but it is very hard to tell if they are the same color. In the app they look the same color, but they also have a different color name.

Used Aventon aventure 2 for $1200, good deal?

You guys were really helpful last time. Is this one a good deal? Seller says it has 765 miles on it and it is 2 years old. I asked if he has the battery keys and to take a picture of the screen with milage on it.

Is this one a good deal? Anything else I should ask about?

Aventon Pace new deal? Asking $1200

Looks like it has both keys in the pics and they have the receipt. They are asking $1200. Is this a good deal? They say they have only ridden it like 4 times, bought in 2023. This would be my first ebike, and I've heard this is a good brand to "buy once, cry once" since I was also looking at the brand Puckipuppy people here seem to dislike. My dad has two that he likes, but I think I would use it to commute to work, which is a lot more than he puts his bikes through.

Is this a good deal, or is 2023 pretty old for an ebike? I would want a rear bike rack for a bag/basket would that be expensive or special compared to one I could take off of a normal bike and use?
