    I'm looking forward to great grands, I do have 8 kids, 8 grands (with 2 more on the way) but oldest grand is only 8. I don't know what it is like to be a great grandaddy but being a grandaddy is amazing. Most of my grands call themselves my minions.

    Congrats, that is quite a thing.

    I got my granddaughter a .25ACP derringer. Need to do a trigger job on it and find an IDH (Inside the Diaper Holster) for her. Can't start warning her about boys and bad people early enough.

    Congrats on the great-granddaughter and still being alive and kicking to see her.

    I'll have to think about that, it's a bit too soon to know yet. Right now I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around that spoiled little daughter of mine is a grandma.

    Don't worry Rick, you'll be able to keep up. They have motors on the wheelchairs now. I'd get some pink grips for the FA.

    Congrats. My three great grandsons will be here in a few weeks for deer hunting. The youngest won't be pulling a trigger as he is only six months old, but his five and six year old brothers will with assistance.

    Rick, don't know how long you've been eligible for the seniors discount, but you know now that you have to stick around at least another decade to teach this little angel gun safety and how to put meat on the table.

    Big congrats to you.
