When I'm not makin' smoke. . .

Spring will come, birds will sing, bees will buzz and there'll be grass to mow and matches to shoot. But in the meantime I'm enjoyin' winter. Here's a snapshot of what I'm doin' with Silas McFee and a grand kid (I have Five of 'em).

It's Christmas and we're havin' fun just south of the glacier. . .

Looks like lots of fun Dick - there is something to enjoy during every time of year.

However, as far as I know black powder will still ignite at those temps - so why ain'tcha makin smoke?

It was 23 degrees in Houston during our last match (a record low in spite of "global warming") and we didn't miss the chance!

Thanks Aggie,

That bob sled slides on Two pair of downhill skis I got from a thrift store for Ten bux a pair. It tracks great behind the politically incorrect Three Wheeler Honda Big Red. Hauls up to 6 adults. So Five Grandkids and an adult is no sweat. The dawg on the left is Bear. He cheer leads and runs ahead and barks.

Over the river and thru the woods. Well anyway, here we are going thru the woods. . .

Don't forget that as much fun as it is getting pulled around grandkids like to drive so grandpa can relax in back.

Relax ?!? While KIDS drive?

DD,
Good idea. What a nice way to enjoy the grandkids, friends and the snow. Now you've got me starting to think about my own DD ski sleigh.

Way to go Dick. That is one fine way to have some nice memories. It's good to see grand kids that enjoy time with the old folks.You are a very lucky man. Later Fairshake

Your a lucky man DD, my boys are all confirmed batchelors it seems and my beautiful step daughter is not able to have kids apparently, so, I'm sol as far as grandkids go.

Dick Dastardly · January 20, 2010, 08:35:41 AM

Yup, I'm lucky. I've got Five grand kids, two married daughters and both my Sons in Law shoot SASS matches with bp. The grand kids have expressed in interest in shooting with their daddy and he takes them shooting when they are old enough.

This one will have to wait a while. . .

Have ten head of grand youngin's with two more on the way.

The oldest boy got a BB gun for Christmas, so PaPa has to teach him.

Grandkids are the best, it's their parents that are the pain!!
