My 7 year old granddaughter.  Working out swimming and walking.  Getting into amateur radio 2 and 6 meter all mode DX and long distance VHF.  I also do 10M thru 40m.   

My days of being a 1.5 kW big dog on 75 meters are over.

My granddaughter LOVES to swim.  We just invested in an YMCA family membershiop and I will be teaching her how to swim.

At that age it's best to stay away from girls. They'll only take your money and suck the life out of you. Leaving you broke and "living in a van down by the river"  :old:

Somebody complaining that I'm using the computer I built is what usually keeps me away from AH.

I don't even want to know what would happen if I complained the same way when they're using it, never mind that said person didn't contribute a single penny or second of labor to put the machine together.

Great thread and pictures! Enjoyed most of them. :)

Things that keep me from AH now? Spending a lot more time with the wife and kids. Certainly miss my squadies, some of the CM's, HTC staff, and a few good guys in the MA.

This was a couple of months ago at Sword Lake when my wife and I scouted it for a Jr. High youth group back packing trip we took them on.

Also my apologetics site I started not long ago.  http://www.knowingforsure.com/category/blog/
