That's awesome Shad..!!  I haven't seen you on here or Facebook for a while.. I'm happy things are working out for you..!!

  Side note... Dont tell Cactus your ( TOOL ) is broken... He will tell you to trade in your old SA 200 model and have your Doc hook you up with a shinny Vantage model.. As tall as you are though I don't think they make a Vantage 900 though.. lol..!!!

Conrats as well with working it out with the misses. I know a few years ago we messaged a bunch, seems like it was hard times for you hidin' the rig and everything else! Glad things are coming together for you!

Hey Shad, Glad to hear you are still kickin'. Congrats  The Lord has a funny way of doing things. Keep your head up and your hood down ( if they let you do that a little in the mine).
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 05-12-2011 13:17
Thanks Brian i get to weld very little my hood usually just collects dust in my box
Parent - - By jrw159 (*****) Date 05-12-2011 00:03

WTG     Nice to hear some Joy bro!   I got a basketball team already....it is not a bad thing as they keep me in line and pointed the right way!
Parent - - By up-ten (***) Date 05-12-2011 04:36
Well thats good news Shad!! Congrats to you and the missus on the reconciliation and of course, a new baby. Life is making a turn for the better and your on the right track. By the way, I still have to explain the Texas A&M hat you sent, seems most up here think the "T" with an A and M on either side means something I cant repeat to a family man. LOL  Again, congrats to you and the missus. Bob.
Parent - By rcwelding (***) Date 05-12-2011 15:48
I met a girl from Australia a few years ago... She kept seeing the A&M hats and shirts... She asked me... Is this a bank school or what..?   I said what do you mean... She said the ATM (Automatic teller machine) school ... I got a good laugh then explained to her what it meant.. lol..!!

  She was a good kid.. She got good laughs out of me when I didn't have a clue where the boot was on her car and I dam sure didn't know a car had a bonnet..!!

  I love Australians..!! Good people..!!
