Thanks for sharing your family with us and welcome back. Your old ford tractor reminds me of the summer days in my youth I spent on my grandpa's ranch helping with the orchard and alfalfa.

Currently undergoing a frame-off resto. and modifications.YEEHAW!!!
Ben, Nice to hear you're doing fine. After everything you've gone through, I'm very happy for you. Isn't it incredible being a Dad? The coolest thing, I think, is when your baby falls asleep in your arms. Iave spent so many nights just holding my boys, I never wanted those nights to end. I'm glad you've found happiness.
I'll have to fill you in on what's going on in my life. I'll send you an e-mail soon. I promise.
P.S...You're such a redneck, and don't try to hide it. HAHAHA
Take care, buddy.

you know what is bad about it... I make fun of my wife because her family is a bunch of backwoods Arkansan idiots/in-breds... my family back in Minnesota is as bad or worse.

I just got a little less "FORDY"... I traded in my volvo on a 08 GMC / Acadia SLT-2 AWD thursday night.
[/QUOTE]
and now im more "fordy" again... we just added this baby as our second car....
btw... it is a 95 xj6 vanden plas with 63K on it... Garage kept... paid $7500 for it. The roof liner has a little sag, and there are a few minor details (like a blown speaker) that need to be cleaned up... other than that... the car is immaculate.
Holy Mackrel!
What a great looking kid!
What a remarkable garage!
And a Jag (ford).
I don't yet have grandkids, and work in a gravel driveway. Maybe I should become a Redneck?
Good to hear from you Ben, glad all is going well.

Hey Ken, long time no see.... how have you been?
I havent seen you around since I cam back among the living...
Are you coming to next years national event... looks like it is going to be in my hometown here. You can come see how we live down here in Arknasas. I'm not sure I qualify as a redneck though... I'm not related to my wife by blood, I was born North of the Mason-Dixon line, I have all my teeth, I know how to read, and most importantly... I don't like Nascar, Football, or Wrestling.

but the important stuff.. The baby has been alot of fun, she is 99th percentile in weight and has been growing like a weed. we constantly run into people with 7 and 8 month old babies smaller than our 15 week old monster.
[/QUOTE]
She is still 95th% in height and 99th% in weight. Since I boguht my wife the Acadia, she is letting me dress little stinker as Cartman (The fat kid from South Park for all you old farts) for halloween... Ill take some pictures when we get her in costume.

Ben,
Is that your shop or someone's warehouse?
You need to slap a motor in that Vette and git er running by April 16.
No excuses.

I say we all invade Ben's place while we're there, and PUSH him around in his car so he can go "VROOOM-VROOOM!!!!".
