Great looking baboo(a family thing). Certainly a pellet burner, congrads and hope you can do a little catch and carry soon. Admit it, a few diddy changes are worth the time????

thanks rich, actually, alas my grandkids are in texas, im in virginia, though visits are likely im just thankful that mom and baby are well.
in the great lottery of life the right set of numbers have continued to come up , for that im a rich man. some things are just worth more than mere money, grandkids top that list, i now have 4 so i guess that makes me wealthy far beyond my financial worth. and at 41 , i have plenty of time to spoil em....



then hand em back

That's awesome Mike, truely a wonderful early Christmas gift!

Does this mean that Corie is going to have to design an Englander line of plastic toy stoves for kids ;-P I can see it now, little stoves with bags of plastic pellets, or maybe a lincoln log burner.

Hot damn. Congrats you hit the daily double. Grandkid and a Texan at that! Texas may or may not be God's country but when Texans talk to Him it is a local call.

hahaha! yeah , i agree , should be able to hang on to several splits at a time. as for my old age , i guess it beats not getting old. 4 grandkids at 41 years old , i got a lotta gray in my beard, but im a happy old guy
