Fathers' Day Thread
Normally a ho-hum kinda day, but my wife found something I really like this year!
 So much copyright infringement! I'm going to ask her to get me another before the site gets shut down. Happy father's day to all parental Pelicans!

   Took the FIL's cars for a spin with the kiddos. A great FD tradition! |

Father's Day this year was also Graduation Day for the class of 2017 at Stanford. My daughter treated me to a nice breakfast in Palo Alto and later in the day, took home her MSME. Great day for all of us!

I bought myself a Father's Day present in the form of a nice teak deck set. My sons helped me assemble it. I sent many silent prayers to my Dad asking his forgiveness for all the times I helped him complete projects around the farm. But I wouldn't trade the Memory for anything and we did actually get it together in the end. Hope my dad felt the same way, but I'm sure my "help" shortened his life span by raising his blood pressure forty points.

I spent the day at the ball park with my kids watching the Rockies play.
 The Giants had a good top of the 9th, so we had to break out the rally hats.  Which worked awesome, walk off home run by Arenado to complete his cycle in the bottom of the 9th. Was great day. Bill |

Reminds me the week leading up to Father's Day we were in Cooperstown for week long 12u tourney at Cooperstown dreams park. Kiddo hit a walk off to win our first single elimination game.

Now, my question for her that she still hasn't answered was: Do you want to do good or do well? Hopefully she'll strike a balance, but honestly with that education, she's got options.

my son got me a cool vintage crystal Dunhill cigar ashtray. Daughter got me tickets to the Vintage races this weekend at Mid Ohio. Life is good.

European-style cafe...lots of organic & locally sourced ingredients. I loved their custard...but I didn't love what I had to do to get rid of it.  Great choice. Underground parking, too. . Good father with a good daughter...Congratulations again.
