Congratulations! Nothing more perfect than a newborn. Ben

When we got married, JaLynn wanted a whole yard full of kids, but I told her she couldn't have kids past 35. Here's why: http://women.webmd.com/pregnancy-after-35 We got a late start, with our first coming when she was 28, so we may have kids after that. Not really worried so much about when they'll graduate, be in college, etc. Ben

Been raining here in Tulsa all day long, but no flooding as of yet. Ben

Damage is done by then. Great pics Dave! Ben

Congratulations! There's nothing like a newborn. Ben

I hunted there in Whitley and Laurel counties about 6-8 years ago. It was great hunting! Would like to go back some day. I just bought over the counter tags. Ben

Awesome! That's what a good attitude will do for you. Hope you kill some big ones up there. Ben

I'll be praying for you all. I hope they don't have to induce, mother nature is much better at it than the doctors. Ben

I looked around a little more last night. Craftsman? Out. Delta? Too expensive. Jet or Grizzly? Not sure. I'm leaning toward the Grizzly. I put my hands on one over the weekend in my cousins shop, and it was really nice. They are having their scratch and dent sale in Springfield, Mo. on June 12th, but I won't be ready to buy that soon. I'm still in the budgeting stages of this whole thing, so I'll probably be buying toward the end of the summer into fall. While we're at it, what do you all have to say about Miter saws, Drill Presses, Routers, etc... that you have in your shops? Ben

Funny you mention Grizzly Joe. I'm actually considering this one: http://www.grizzly.com/products/10-Heavy-Duty-Cabinet-Table-Saw-With-Riving-Knife/G0651 It's a big ol rascal, but doing most of the work by myself, I think all the tables will be a big help in handling the material. Haven't looked at Craftsman yet, but they're on my list. Ben

Can anyone say purple mist? Ben

I could see my garden growing last night! Ben

Anyone have some experience with table saws? JaLynn and I are gearing up to build our house, and I plan on doing the cabinetry work myself. I've got a small site/contractor type saw, but figure with the amount of work I'll be doing, I should just spend the money and buy a good one. What brand, size, accessories, etc. does everyone recomend? Thanks Ben

Too cool! Good luck and have fun. Ben

One time I showed my 30-30 to a deer and the darn thing fell over dead! Ben

I've had a Husky 345 for about 10 years, and it still runs like a top. It has a 16" bar, and will do anything I ask it to, and that is a lot sometimes. Also have had a Stihl 391 for 2-3 years, and it is a beast! It'll eat through about anything with ease, but I don't use it near as much though, as it's a bit on the heavy side. Sounds to me like your on your way to a smart purchase. Ben

I can't believe the honesty and strength you show through all of this. You're one tough customer! Prayers coming your way bud. Ben

Good to know you guys made it through. It got pretty nasty out our way. High winds, heavy rotation, and lots and lots and lots of rain. Nothing ever touched down, but it was pretty intense. There's a reason they call this tornado alley, and in the past two weeks, it's lived up to its name. Ben

Propane Schmopane. Nothing like smoking with wood, and only wood! It's a little more work, but it's worth it IMHO. Ben

Have fun, and be careful! Ben

I have one: It just don't fit the whole clan. Ben

I was wondering what engine upgrades would give me the most bang for my buck? I've got this: I think it's an '07 with the 4.8 V8. I've not done anything to it, but we were thinking about getting a small travel trailer, and I'd like to up the power on it a little. Thanks. Ben

Not sure how you're able to, but kudos to you for it. Ben

Yep. Ben

I hunt with one every year, and leave my 7 mm in the safe. Ben
