Thanks for clearing that up Doc. Sounds like your going to be a busy man when you get back from your hunt. If your looking for a home for one of the pups give me a shout. Have a great time on your hunt and "Keep'um Sharp".

Congratulations Jeff! Here's what they do when they "run out of gas"! I hate to say it but I'm a much better Grampa than I was a Dad. As we get older the pace slows and we have/make time for the things that are really important.

Michael,
I love the picture  :)   I am looking forward to those times.  In  lot of ways you're right.  Not that I didn't do lots with my kids in the outdoors as they grew up but try to build a practice and keep it running verses working 3 days a week with a week off each month certainly adds to time to share.

I also notice in your profile Steelhead flies & fly fishing...not many of those around here cept for Atlantic salmon flies & long spey rods (my other passion)...Doc

Congrats Doc! Grandkids are better than sons and daughters.....You get to send em home when you're tired.  :readit:    :biglaugh:  

I've got two myself. I've built Jake 4 bows. He's my size now and he's starting to shoot my bows. It happens fast. Enjoy! CK

Congrats Doc! I was lucky to have grandchild number 7, (grandson number 4), 3 months old just move in with me while his Dad is overseas. I am refinishing a Windstorm kids bow for him. Can't wait to get it in his hands.
