we learned 2 things today

[ANNASDAD]

I don't have any issue with them or any gadgets. Well balanced humans have hobbies..

So I've recently gotten Anna's BF into shooting, actually just bought him his first pistol. Last night he's texting me with tons of options on another new pistol already, he's hooked!

The whole thing is pretty funny considering his family (and you and I have talked about his family $$) is very liberal! I'm sure I've been talked about some!

Many here may disagree with me on this, I believe kids today (some, definitely not all) need to learn to shoot a firearm, and learn safety and the responsibility that comes with it! Maybe that's just the NC Southern boy in me?

Yes..lol. Me having a gun and knowing how to use it would be a disaster..
Seriously though I have no issue with what you said

Another benefit, the very first time I took him to a range, later that night Anna told me he said he was terrified of me, she said he said "he's really scary with what he can do!" Mission accomplished!

I do love me some gadgets! The current favorite is a “grapple bucket” on my new JD 5075 tractor. I can grab brush and logs, pick them up and pile them where I want to.

We have a problem with honeysuckle trees here. They are small brushy trash trees that grow everywhere. As I figure out how to run my grapple I’m figuring out how to get hold of them and yank them out of the ground root and all.

My next toy is going to be a seeder that allows me to plant my deer food plots all in one pass. I don’t even hunt anymore but I love to see them.

We do as well. We love to see them outside. We have deer blocks and buy apples for them. We actually have had one deer that has been around for
4 years. She has raised babies around us that whole time and they come around. We sit under our outside pavillion and watch them.

Btw, WW...anytime you wanna bring all your gadgets on a trip, you are more then welcome
to clear my area out.

We're surrounded by them (and the Elk)...most of the time it's great but other times they are a major PITA. Like big rats, eating and breaking stuff, we have fences around everything (young trees, gardens, etc.). But yeah, we have several "family members" who basically live here.

Back on the softball gadget topic. My girls call them toys. "Oh, Dad got a new toy." Over the years, I've spent thousands on every softball gadget I could get my hands on. I've been selling some off, or giving them away over the last two years. It was getting to the point of needing to build a second shed just to house everything.

I still think I'm nowhere near Rain Man's glove addiction, though.
