I had a Castboolits bumpersticker in the top of my tool box, and my daughter was pretty impressed with the size of it. I quote "Daddy, thats a gig sticker!"
She made it clear to me that I needed to use that sticker right them and there, so I stuck it on the headstock of my lathe.
I thought it looked quite good, and she agreed to pose for the picture to show off the new look.

She's a cutie pie Tim. Nice LeBlond lathe. Gotta love those Buck rubber collets. They frequently run truer than a Hardinge 5C.

Yeah, I'm lucky I've got a little helper.
She does a darn fine job of seating gas checks too!

She loves working in the shop with me. This was taken at 6-something this morning (hence the sleepy eyes). She put on her crocks as soon as she woke up and ran out to the shop to help me. Her job was to stick the gas checks on the boolits and hand them to daddy. For three years old shes pretty good at it actually!
We are very careful to wash our hands (especially hers) and I watch her like a hawk while she is in the shop with me.
It slows me down some, but I cherish our time together.

Tim I don't have to tell you this but that little bundle makes you a rich man indeed. Enjoy every minute of it. She is a cutie. Your sticker is nice too!

Tim
You are so lucky to be able to be with her every day I get just a few days a month with my little guys and they have a hard time going back to mom. Seems dad is way more fun to be with, go figure Some day I will post one of the pictures of them here just have to figure out how to get it from my computer to here then I can do it.

Tim - I used to have a sweet little one like that. Now she owns her own house. Fortunately, she only lives 8 miles away. Funny, your baby is ALWAYS your baby. She has two older brothers. Enjoy the time you have. It goes by VERY quickly. Mike

We had 2 little girls too. But they grow up too quickly.(41 and 45) I guess that makes me OLD.

All of my daughters are much older than that, 10, 12, 14, 24 and 25 but I do have 4 granddaughters, one looks like your daughters twin.

I do not see them enough.
