Found two things today from the past that stirred memories.

.

Joe Mattingly is going way back. I want to say he passed in 2003 or 2004. I still see Craig from time to time.

Tell him a voice from the past says hello.

And I still have his ten dollar bill in my briefcase that I intend to hand back to him when next we meet.

Doing pretty good last I saw him. He got of the helicopter EMT stuff, and was in the oilfield in Midland. It all but shutdown a couple of years ago so he was waiting for that to pick back up. He is making leather plus doing some ceracoatng and other stuff on guns on the side. I'll probably run into him at one of the gunshows in the next few months and I'll let him know.

How is it going for you? It has been a while.

we talk quite a bit.

Retired. This past August was 2 years. Paycheck is a little thinner, but we had prepared for it and boy was it worth it. I don't know how I had time to go to work. Grandkids growing way too fast. But, it's all good.

Good to see your post Jimmy, haven't seen you around and was wondering about you just the other day.

I've still got a couple years before I can retire, but I sure am looking forward to it. And yep, them grand kids can keep a fella busy. Hoot has his own baseball/softball team made up of grand kids.

Good to hear from you, Jimmy P! I am a few years past retirement and don't anticipate being able to ever stop "working" completely but I enjoy the stress. Grands are great and Kyle just informed us that we can expect another one in 7 months or so.

Kyle is pregnant?!?!?!?

That is good to hear. When I was still at the airline I thought of you several times when we had layovers in Tallahassee. We just had our second son last week, they can keep you busy. I imagine grandkids would be a nice relaxing thing. My mom is loving it,

Given a bit of growing time, we could field two teams!

They are a joy and a blessing.

That has been more than a few years, left Alaska for this here desert Southwest 12 years ago. Thanks for the memory.

Been along time ago but things have a way of turning up.

They are always appreciated, I have a bit more gun "wealth" now, but I think I was able to enjoy my shooting more back then. Right now I am waiting on a new NOE mold for the new Flattop 357.
