Congrats Dick. Sounds like a new hunter in the blind in a few short years. Nov 26 was a good day for me as well although 81 yrs ago.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the club. My grandson is 18 now so I could be a Great grampa in a year or two. Could be, if he ever finds a girlfreind. LOL

Being a grandpa has been the best part of my life.

You get to enjoy their discoveries and adventures without having to clean up after them.

There is nothing better then fishing with a grandchild.

Enjoy!
