    I have a couple of step kids that are old enough now, so that phone call could come before I'm ready for it. BTW, that is a beautiful baby!

    If you are going to get old all of a sudden, a great grand daughter is the best way to do it.

    She would have wrecked any plans of flying to Oregon, she was a week or a bit more early from what the docs said. Gotta plan a trip now though.

    How bout a little bolt conversion into a 22 CCM wid a pink "muddy girl camo" pattern stock? You could make it a bit long in LOP, chop off a couple or 3 one inch long pcs from the butt to reattach as she grows into it....the pattern will hide the length additions well. Did similar for my 1st grand daughter only in a 22 hornet handi rifle, she still shoots it 17yrs later. Oh and congrats on the 1st great grand child, I'm struggling to fend off that occurence a bit longer.
    An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
    "One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
    The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
    The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."

    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Congrats Rick.

    As for officially being old, didn't that ship sail long ago?
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    I'd like to be breathing air long enough to become a great grandpa. A little beauty for sure. I vote for a Chipmumk. Congrats Rick..

    Congrats, I'm nowhere close to being a great grandpa (oldest granddaughter is only 10) but I can tell you, I love being a grandpa.
