Michael,
I guess with boring weather, you have to keep yourself pre-occupied with other items. Which in my opinion is a good thing. When the weather really turns on, you will then be fresh and ready with few commitments:)
I saw anvils out to the west today - one was decent I guess. I didn't bother going out after them. I'll await the weekend period when storms may be nearby and a little more useful for chasing.
