My ego tells me that some of you may have noticed I haven't been on the board much of late. Actually, the reason is on December 9, Bunny and I left Florida in our motor home, bound for Arizona and California.
Reasons were several--Christmas with the folks, sister and her family; pending birth of my first grand daughter (really the big reason); and the fact that Bunny decided to retire.

Photo is from last Summer, but it (and Bunny) looks the same

Chuey helped with the driving. Fortunately, I was at the helm when we blew a front tire at 55 outside of Sonora, Texas. Managed to land the rig off the highway without rolling it, and called a mobile truck tire repair place who fixed it for what my first home cost. Sheesh...
We stopped at the Alamo (Bunny had never seen it) and spent a few days in San Antonio (rainy, cold, not nice).
We enjoyed a couple of weeks in AZ, then on the 28th of December we headed to California and my very preggers daughter.

Looks "PhotoShopped" doesn't it.
Well the 30th, darling daughter presented us with Lily Jane.

The little girl is simply amazing. She has so much hair it looks like she's wearing a wig. And her fingers are long enough that daughter and husband should probably go ahead and order the piano.

This is what an extremely proud Grandpa looks like.

Of course, her two brothers are pretty proud, too. And aren't they good looking kids?
Well, that's what I've been up to for the past month. I'll try and stop by with a little more regularity in the next days and weeks.
FWIW,
Crusader Rabbit (with Bunny, Daughter Bunny (and her hubby), and L'i'l Bunny and the Boy Rabbits)

as highly as he speaks of the munchkin I would bet the look of terror would be from the realization that he will have to share.... some. hopefully he will get away with sharing the diaper part.. yuk.
Enjoy CR. if you're still there next summer we may see you.

Don't order a piano too quick! When she grows a little and can palm a basketball she might have a future in the WNBA! LOL

Sounds like a great trip! Looks like you had fun.

Congrats Mate 8)
-
Congrats, CR!! BTW, who is that OLD fart posing with Bunny? ;D
-
Nice setup there, CR....the family for sure and the RV....
I always think living and traveling in a RV like that might be a good way to spend a few years....
Only problem is it's hard to find space for a reloading setup and the brewery...
I guess it could pull a trailer for those essentials.

If your heading thru the sacramento area, shoot me a pm.

TAB, is your new Avatar dating anyone?
Do you know if she has a thing for older men with beards? ;D ;D

My folks bought a trailer for the car and 'stuff'. used it like a garage, so I would say yes, that would work for brewing and reloading. just be sure all is secured before getting under way.

no idea, but I do know where you can see every inch of her at.

TAB, I'm all eyes!
Solus, that's what the bathtub is for, brewin' ! Mount your press on a board and store it in the trailer/tag along car or whatever. Components too, except for primers and powder. I'd probably start with primed brass though. Loaded ammo goes in a locked container someplace.

Hmmm....nice covert storage for an RV, if there is room under there. I dummy waste tank with locking flush out connectors.

I know that little girls are supposed to be sugar and spice, but granddaughters are the sugar and grandsons are the spice. Enjoy them while you can, before they become teenagers and don't want to hang around with us oldsters. ;)
-
Where might that be, TAB?
you have PM, i'm sure you will find her, and many others lol

Thank you, TAB. It's a nice site, if you like beautiful women. I'll have my email forwarded to there. ;D ;D ;D
