Yep, my time has finally come. I will be a dad come February. Expect to read many reports of hunting and fishing adventures come this fall and winter as I go out with a bang. Lol. I can't wait!

Congrats.
Will I need to create a board for Swampbuckster's raffle of outdoor gear?

Congrats! You have from now until February to amass as much hunting and fishing stuff as possible. Get good stuff, it will need to hold up for the next 20 years. After that all of your income will be earmarked for clothes, toys, bikes, braces, cars, college, etc. Once the kids have graduated and have left the house you'll be able to buy stuff for yourself again. But the little bundles of joy are so worth it.  |

But the little bundles of joy are so worth it. Aw, man...........I dunno whether to laugh or cry.....But I can say this. I'm 30 years old, married to a wonderful women and yet year by year goes by and the only thing that represents time passing by is another duck season followed by another steelhead season followed by another icefishing season. Even though year after year changes, swamps get dry and then flooded, ice is thick one year and thin the next, I really have no way of bookmarking the years that pass. I am ready to take this on and scared yet excited for change at the same time. Just look forward to many last adventures of a kid free Swampbuckster!!!! |

Seriously, you'll love it. Kids are great and a lot of fun. You do end up making sacrifices for them but it's because you want to. My kids are grown and gone and I miss having them around the house.

How can you pass that up? I'm making you one heck of an offer. You know, Alex is a pro at picking up nails around a construction site. Kimmy makes one heck of a supervisor. You'd have your own crew for the cottage!
