Karen,

The day is still very young here in SoCal. The rest of my brood is still asleep. ;D

Well, I really have to get my own EDC toys, my wife is clueless in that area. I rather select the flashlight or knife myself than have to take something back to a store.

We're going to Long John Silver's (love the chicken). That's a real treat for us because it's a 20 mile drive to the nearest one!

Yes, he is. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: And yes, I do make my own salsa or pico de gallo or whatever you want to call it--fresh from scratch. Fresh guacamole, too.

Day is still a little young for me as well. Coming off an 80 hour week :( Wife is out of town helping out a friend and will be back later today, so I have no idea what I'm going to get. In anticipation of this, I treated myself to an Ontario Rat 1, that showed up on Friday. Kids are coming over later today for a visit and I get to spoil my grandson for a few hours ;D

Spoiling your grandkids is a great way to spend the day :). Mine will be spent with my daughter and a big bucket of KFC. The company makes the meal :D

Well, just got back from a night out with my wife and daughter.* Great day altogether.

Where's that "stuffed myself silly" icon :P...

Happy Father's Day all.

I got a Surefire A2 Avitor!!!!!!!!! Ok I bought it myself a couple weeks ago and let her give it to me on fathers day.
Then i told her how much she must love me to spend $150 on a flashlight for me and she got a funny look on her face but didn't say anything.
Then we went out shopping for EDC items. she waited in the car while I searched though harbor freight tools. i go me a large and small aluminum folding box cutters. they are really cool. picked up a multi storage box for my wife while i was in there and everyones happy!
Being a father is a LOT of work. but its also the best thing in the world! I really love fathers day!

Congrats Deaths head. I never really understood the joy a child can bring till I had one. Its really overwhelming at times.

Thanks Scribs and CK. I hope I will still be able to buy a few toys here and there. We're really looking forward to our first child.

Okay, TiGuy, you're gonna have to start looking for or commissioning a Ti rattle. :laugh:

I think carbon fiber is the more appropriate material for a rattle.

That is me as well. Although the on line wish list IS alive and well. I usually get something nifty for me self.

CHANGE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!!

Long gone are the days of peace and tranquility!

And then they turn TWO, which is another level of craziness all by itself.

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

A diaper bag is just one more thing to EDC. O0
