    The neighbor has been hunting out at my bowhunting spot on this gun season and he said that he has not seen a deer yet. I am thinking about doing some vehicle scouting to see where the deer are at tonight.

    Hey boys. Been Mia for a bit. Baby girl is born. Mother and baby are all good. We just got home tonight. Unfortunately with a c section you have to stay a little later. In a small rural Canadian hospital that means staying in something similar to prison lol. But all is good now. Gonna get some rest next couple days and I need to get back into the stand. My family justbgrew by 25% which means more venison needed.

    Been in prison for 23 years 1 month and now I have 4 years 11 months to go! Dang Prisons! Glad mom and baby are doing good and congrats on the new addition to the family! Hope they both heal up fast from the trying day.

    Congrats Chago. Glad to hear all is well. Extra family is a great reason to provide extra. Definitely best when everyone loves it
    Dawg that’s a heck of a time you’ve got in. Especially keeping positive and sane for it. Hope the rest finishes out smoothly so you can enjoy the well earned time off

    Congrats Chago! your tax deduction is here on time! by the way, it takes roughly 1 million dollars to raise a kid from birth to 18 years of age.
    Just sayin.

    This was South of Taylorville tonight. I'm afraid they got hit hard on the SW side. Radar showed it rapidly intensify just as it entered.

    Photo was not taken by me, I'm just a weather geek that was following on the radar and another forum.

    Today way overperformed the forecast. A lot of long lived tornadic supercells

    My buddy in Taylorville lost his garage and a tree went through his kitchen but other than that he is good. There is a lot of damage down there. We lucked out with funnels coming down then up then they did not touch or if they did it was not long. Wind was crazy with the rain. Minor damage up here.

    My daughter who is 17 was freaking out and called her mother since I was enjoying the time on the porch watching the storm come in. A few thunder cracks about made me poop my pants but I enjoy storms also and not sure why.
