Good to hear its still moving along. It seems like everything is at the mercy of the "Global Supply Chain Issue"! I hope you get the time to prep the engine bay for that like new motor. Coaching baseball is the best time of your life, for sure savor it.
Thanks! We sure do enjoy baseball. I've got two boys who play on the school Varsity baseball team and I'm an assistant coach. The HS season is over now, so I can relax a bit. The boys' summer club teams started playing games today, so at least I can just go watch them and not have to coach. I've only got two more years before both boys are out of school, so I'm doing my best to enjoy the ride while it lasts!
Time flies by in just a blink of an eye. My eldest will be a senior in high school this coming school year. Hard to believe that it seems like just yesterday she was toddling around and eating Cheerios.
Enjoy the time with the boys. The Jeep can wait - they can't. I'm very lucky - my kids and grandkids are past the coaching stage, but I've ended up as coach for a Junior High Power Shooting Team. Real rifles, not fancy air guns. I have five kids and they keep me hopping. I'm almost 78, but they make me feel either 65 or 100 depending on the day.
Here is a picture of my "Glamour Girls" and in case you wonder if they can shoot - here is a target the little blonde assassin shot at 200 yards, slow fire prone ---fifteen shots, all in the 10-ring with 7X.
That's awesome, Larrbeard! You're lucky to be able to spend that quality time with your grandkids. And the target shows that you've taught her well!
I'm a shooter myself, but have only ever shot a few competitive matches so that I could buy a Garand from the CMP. That was years ago. I'm more of a hunter, but I sure do like to shoot and reload. My kids (1 daughter and 2 boys) all shoot, but my daughter isn't too into it and my boys would rather play baseball and other sports than shoot. My oldest boy does love to hunt, so at least I have him to go with me most times. Here's a quick pic of his first antelope buck in 2018. He's grown up quite a bit since then and helped me pack an elk out a few years ago.
You two are providing what a lot of parents are missing now-a-days. There is a lot of life to live outside, without a "smart" phone. Interesting how stupid a "smart" phone can make someone.
