Happy Father's Day fellas

Hope all the dads out there have a great day.

I thought about adding something about being a dad is the best job but there's no job I can think of that would have brought me the joy my three kids have brought into my life. It was never a "job"

Same to you Nick.
I'm having the Kids over today for burgers. With the grandkids. Looking forward to it. But first, taking my second oldest grand kid to the gun show.

Being a dad and husband are easily the best things I have done in my life. It is very much work. It is also rewarding.

For all you dads out there, my hat is off to you. Enjoy your day.

I must have sucked at being a dad on my first go around as we are now raising our grand daughter. It seems easier this time. When we registered her for school, I was shocked to realize I would be 78 when she graduated from high school.
Practice makes perfect.

I’ve always thought I should have had grandkids first, then kids.

If raising up g-kids means I was a crappy dad, I musta been the worst of the worst. They all live < 20 minutes away and they LOVE their Grampa! A four-day camp-out with half of ‘em begins in about three hours!

I tip my hat to you..for doing what's right and good. Wish you the best!

Our daughter isn't in the area...but she gave me a great father's day gift. She used her know how and connections to get my Ipod working again...I'd thought it had died and did not want to go to a smart phone. She's in her 50's now, but will always be a kid to me..

^^^ Perfect.

A "plastic" trailer RV, I have looked at Oliver trailers but the prices are ridiculous, is a goal for me. Standard questions.

Enjoy and PM when you get back, the "Best Grandpa Ever"!
