been a long while

Hey Brothers and Sister.

I haven't much time to stop in lately, so I just wanted to drop in and say hello. I've been reading through a few of the recent threads and, shit, I've missed quite a bit. I have a bunch of catching up to do.

Just a few points going on over here. House is almost done. Just a few more rooms to be painted and some other miscellaneous finishing stuff. Then we finally get to move in after a long 3ish months... I've been working many hours at the pizzeria, to make a little more cash. Even with all the stuff going on, I'm still finding the time once and a while to sit and have a nice smoke. I've been paying special attention to the sticks gifted or traded to me from you guys. And I must say, THANK YOU! Not one has been bad or even middle of the road. All have been fantastic.

One more thing. We're pregnant! This is going to be our first child and we are both very excited and terrified. We found out last Monday that God will be blessing us with a little girl.

So everything here is going great and I hope that you are all doing great as well. Best wishes to you all and hopefully I'll find some more spare time soon to come chat.

Until then,

Rich

Baby girl Loeven. Name to be determined.

Rich,

Congrats. Great to hear from you. Your ears must have been ringing from us saying "where has logan been?" at the herf

Again, congrats on the baby girl. Hope everything goes smoothly. Kids are great....period.

Will

Congrats! It seems things are coming together for you. Enjoy the moments that you have.

A girl, eh??? I was gonna send a care package with some smokes - perhaps you could have better use of an assault rifle with a 30 round clip to keep the would be suitors at bay???

Congrats!

Congrats! I glad to hear that you and your family are doing well! Get some sleep!

**ashauler** · 07-07-2009, 07:16 AM

Congrats Rich!!

I have a couple of those daughter things, what a joy you have ahead of you. I second Georges' advice, though I chose a shotgun since I figured I'd be chasing the bastid down the driveway and didn't want to be bothered with aiming too much.

Very good news. Sounds like you're well prepared.

You might want to order some of those "IT'S A GIRL" Padron's.

**mrtr33** · 07-07-2009, 10:19 AM

Congrats, Rich! That's awesome! You should come around more often!

**Diesel Grinch** · 07-07-2009, 10:34 AM

Congrats on the good news.

Congrats Rich! I have not met you yet, just one of the many noobs here. God bless your great new package! Hope all goes well. Roger.

**EGQ** · 07-07-2009, 11:01 AM

Fantastic news, Rich --congrats.

**basil** · 07-07-2009, 11:19 AM

...hence the purpose of a 30 round clip! You can make an AWFUL lot of noise, put down a pretty fair amount of lead downrange rather quickly, and make a pretty significant impression when one finds its mark. ...and as an extra added bonus - the noise is much more impressive than a single shotgun blast!!!

Although I do admit - staring down the barrel of a shotgun, or hearing the sound of a round being racked, does have its benefits...

Congratulations.

I have a young daughter myself and a few pictures from my time in the military to go up in the front hall once she hits 10 or so.

As my buddy who had a son told me "I only have to worry about one dick in town, you have to worry about ALL the dicks in town."

**denver24** · 07-07-2009, 03:09 PM

Congrats on all the big happenings!

**sammis** · 07-07-2009, 07:19 PM

Congrats on the new addition to the family and the new residence

**logan37** · 07-07-2009, 09:59 PM

Thanks everyone! Good to see you all still around.

HAHA. I have plenty of shotguns and rifles at my disposal. But I do like the idea of an assault rifle. I'd be scared shitless if I first met my wife's father and he was loading an AR-15.

I'm looking at a bank vault for her bedroom...
