Stijn!!

I was just real glad all three of my cars were in the garage (as usual) and so far the roof seems to be OK.

Friends wife and daughter were out driving home when the hail hit. Broke the windshield and other windows, and knocked some of the trim off the car besides denting the bejesus out of it. The daughter described it as a 2 screamer incident.

This was one from the back yard.

If I can ever figure out where iTunes stores a video shot on the iPhone I will upload a video. iTunes has such a stupid interface. I have never understood why I can look at the photos on my phone right from iTunes and delete photos and videos. I shot a video of the hail then synced my phone to iTunes. I can't find that video anywhere on my computer. Why does apple make is so difficult? This is way worse than finding email files in Outlook.
yep, that is a normal sized dollar bill.

big hail, however. damn.

oh, and shooting gophers (which were actually ground squirrels) was awesome. they are THICK where we were creating carnage. and they were doing a lot of damage.

we also saw a badger. i refused to condone shooting it. turns out that shooting them is totally kosher, per utah state hunting rules. i am still glad i didn't shoot it and if we go back, i won't shoot it. what a cool creature. and beautiful.

I went out shooting with a former co-worker who has a tricked-out bolt action .223. Shooting marmonts from 300 yards out. They never heard a thing one minute skippy is standing there the next all his freinds are over looking at him aka the next to go.
