Alberta labels me "Disabled" when I hunt over there.

This young man is developing into someone I respect, and almost every time we interact I am reminded of that. Hell of a lot of that is due to the nature and attitude of his parents for sure! And to some small extent I have played a little role there too. Never had kids, he is about as close as I am ...

In keeping with GrandDaddy's wishes, his oldest Grandson will be receiving it when I wander off to join the campfire with the original owner.
Arrangements that were made the day I received it...
