My wife liked it so much it made the wardrobe choice for the boys 6 month photo shoot. To which each one of the boys in the sweater is prominently displayed on our built ins next to the fire place.
Our oldest just turned 13.



Aww, I love hearing this! Thank you for sharing.

Good man. Last time we met was about six (6) or seven (7) years ago.

Rotndad was his username.


He was an awesome guy. Never got a chance to meet in person but he sent me a kind gift when I graduated from the police academy 20 years ago and he also checked on our property in Florida after a couple hurricanes.
So I would not have to 12 hours just to check them.


There was a discussion about cuckoo clocks once and I mentioned that had one in the past and someday I'd like to get another. Tony sent me one that had belonged to his mother. He told me it needed repair, but it was a fairly quick fix. Very generous.

She was a heckuva good lady. I bought a sphinx from her business and she was so helpful.
We communicated some after that, I wonder what happened to her?

Come on back, and grace us with your presence. I always enjoyed reading your posts.

I recall that back in May / June 2013, when I was incarcerated in the rehab center for a month and a half following my hip / femur surgery, you and Bryan sent something to me, but I have been squeezing what's left of my brain, and I just can not remember what it was.

The recollection will probably come to me when I least expect it.

It was candy. Admittedly not the best thing for someone who is physically recovering, but we wanted you to have a bit of something fun. Hard candy shaped like LEGO bricks and gummies shaped like Army men. I told you that sometimes it's okay to play with your food.

Hal Bass. As I recall, he was Mr. Minnesota at some point.


IIRC, he had quite the collection of engraved firearms. Some SERIOUS artwork! Old school, deep engraving. I think done by someone in Montana / Wyoming area.

Doc Steve - he made the mistake of having (or allowing) his girlfriend to register here, and she did what women do from time to time (and far too often): she made a mess. Came in here, chastising the man, detailing his faults (yes, my brothers can relate). It happened more than once and I told him I just wasn't having it. I don't blame him. That's the truth, but I just could not have the personal drama between a man and woman playing out here in SIGforum. Doc Steve is welcome here, though I could understand if he doesn't believe that, because the last time we corresponded, I was...displeased.


I remember the drama his girlfriend posted here. Got into a fight with a dog or something like that.
Good guy. we had a few mutual acquaintances. I met him and Tuckerrn1 in Fla (Bass Pro? Cabellas?)

IIRC, her husband was suffering from a debilitating condition, and she ofc was his caretaker. Nice folks; I just yesterday coincidentally came across a receipt from them for some Crimson Trace grips.

I ran into him a couple weeks ago at the Provo range. Talked about the cmp range that fell through in Payson.

Who was the federal “agent” who knew everything about everything? Seems he left shortly after criticizing a SF soldier about the way he was carrying his rifle.


I remember the fake FBI agent with the porsche !! Was his name Calvert?

Yeah, that was it! The calories were fine. I was working my butt off in daily Physical Therapy, lost a bunch of weight. I tried to at least double everything the therapist told me to do, and it paid off. Six weeks and I was able to function independently, getting out of bed and standing with a walker by myself, no help needed. Major accomplishment!

Your gift was a bright spot. I hoped to actually meet both of you some day, but that's not going to happen unless y'all appear in Florida. My traveling days are over, will be 90 in January, assuming that I don't croak before then.

I don't quite remember the name possibly SureShot. He was the guy who built the house on the hillside and posted the progress.

It was at Gander Mountain. I am in contact with Doc on a regular basis. He is in St Augustine, Florida currently. He just had onE of the photos he took while in the service included as part of gallery at the UDT/SEAL museum in Fort Pierce. He spends time helping at an antique store that specializes in nautical and shipwreck recovered items. Building quite a collection of coins and other artifacts. I've called him the laziest pirate you've ever heard of, but you have heard of him. Wink

Yeah the girl is long gone.

Mr Hicks!
He was doing some leather work, too. Made the wallet I’m carrying today. Cool

Don’t hold me to it, this was the early days in the forum for me, but as I recall…

There was a poster by the name of Brain on Sigs. He and Lunde were friends and I seem to remember Brain on Sigs posting about Sarah Palin during a forum political moratorium. He was corrected and I believe he never returned. I think Lunde followed him.

But yes, he took some great photos, as did Brain on Sigs.

Yes. Following that build was very interesting.

FYI, Ken Lund is alive and well and doing fine.

I laughed my ass off with the "laziest pirate"! Big Grin
Glad that he's doing well!

He goes to the souvenir store, buys pretty seashells and goes to the beach with the dog and "finds" them for attractive female tourists.
