I have a two year old that is cool as the breeze and ornery as a cross eyed snake.
Work has me busier than a cat burying turds and I love what I do.....most days anyway. Lol.
Momma is healthy, happy, and about three months pregnant.
Pop turns 83 this year and I can't wait for his visit next month.
As impossible as it seems, I continue to get better looking.

A lot of us are blessed. We don't realize it until we get older or something bad happens.

Counting my blessings here. The new shop is everything we had hoped for, and more. Business is up 9% year to date over last year, my granddaughter will be a year old on the 29th, and is walking, driving my daughter nuts  . Best of all, my son-in-law is starting a 3.5 month internship with Primetals, formerly Siemens, here in Alpharetta, so my wife and I will get to see our grand daughter as often as we can while they are here. Almost done with my M635Csi restoration and hunting season is almost here. What's not to like?

"The Warden" is now 6 years cancer-free, and I still introduce her as my "first wife" Kids are doing well - son surveying, and daughter working for State Parks. She is trying to become a livestock inspector - we'll see. (Bet she does) SIL has his dream job - historian at the state military museum, and full-time NG. Their 2 oldest kids were accepted into a prestigious school that only takes 20 students a year. I woke up this AM looking at grass, NOT roots. NO extra orofices administered by "The Warden" Life is great, although busy!
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

My wife has been fighting cancer for nearly 3 years: 2 extensive surgeries and 2 1/2 years of 3 different chemo therapies. Needless to say, the chemo and its side effects have taken its toll ... to the extent that she really couldn't continue it (even though it has kept her cancer in check).
One of the new "razzle-dazzle" treatments is a "targeted therapy." It is an oral medication (with virtually no side effects). Her oncologist wanted her to to give it a try ... the only hitch: it cost $9,000.00 per month ... and if it worked ... she would be on it for the rest of her life. GULP!
The good news: The drug company has agreed to provide the drug at no cost ... and after being on the drug for over a month her cancer numbers are declining! We saw her oncologist last week, and he was grinning from ear-to-ear ... it appears to be working!
THANK YOU DEAR LORD! Great news. I hope it works for her.

Half way thru my Chemo treatments. Less than a month to go before I leave on my hunting trip/vacation. Wife is going with me to Montana and then flying home. Then im going the rest of the way to British Columbia by myself. Grandbabies are growing and everyone is in good health. Ive lost a 100 lbs and kept it off and wife has lost just as much. So things are going good here in Missouri.

Gonna spend a bunch of time in Texas in Dec hunting with my Dad and niece.
Start road-tripping around the western US this spring.
Life is good.

Was going to quietly crow about PERFECT moisture conditions and temps this AM, to do some more finish grading on an erosion control project that's looking GOOD. What was washed hardpan looking more like a grassy paddock, monsoonal deluges redirected and DROPPING their silty, nutrient rich payloads on ground they previously carried away.
An interesting old Muzzle Loading Target rifle that UPS managed to farg up rather badly is falling back together on the bench,...
Some shelter belt Arizona Cypress that came here to my little nursery as sprouted seed in large Styro coffee cups just going on 2 years ago are FOUR feet tall, and well rooted in new home ground.
Opened this thread and discovered MORE good news, Cochise County has another fine resident !
