Well, I have not logged on in 2 months, but I sort of have a good reason. :grin:
 
Please welcome Tyler James to the THL! He was born on July 23rd, weighing in at 7 lbs 9 oz, and almost 21 inches long. Everything went smoothly. His big brother adores him, and we're all settling in.
 
Hunting season starts in 11 days for me, and life is returning to normal. Hopefully I can get back to spending some quality time with you all.....
 

WAHOO!

CONGRATULATIONS!

All our best to you and your wife!

Paul

Well, since you said that.....
 
40 years or so after my grandfather's death (before I was born), and after many hand changes amongst older siblings who have also died, my father has finally received what he has always wanted......... His Dad's gun.
 
Here it is, it's a .348 Winchester Model 71.  It's a thing of beauty, but man, is the ammo expensive and hard to find!!!!!
 
He's really excited, and will actually try to get a deer with it this fall.  
 
So, it'll eventually go to me, and even though he's got an older brother, maybe Tyler will have a "new" rifle someday......
 

Way Cool!

I'd love to have one of those! The .348 ammo gets a lot easier to come by if you reload it for him.

Congratulations on BOTH new arrivals. Both are things of beauty. Hope you can swing a hunt, especially if you can do that "San Diego Surf 'n' Turf" combo with your Dad. I hope some day you will be the old man being taken by your boys! Tell your partner she did a good job and know that my best thoughts go to you and your family.

Well, since the baby was born in late July, and the parents came out a few weeks later, he is foregoing his trip out here for hunting this year.  However, I am hopeful that I will at least be able to sneak back to Vermont for the rifle opener in November.

It's great to read good news here.....congrats on two nice finds. We need more good news posts! Regards, Rick.

What  Rick said again. ....Good to see you're still around. Best of everything to the entire family.    .........Paul H
