I got married to So CAL girl and remained here after I got out of the Navy. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, hunting and fishing but mostly I love to do wood working. I guess now that I am not wasting money on crap I can have more to do the things I like to do.

This is the second holiday season without tobacco and I am looking forward to it. That first one back in 2013 wasn't so bad; last yearw was better and this one, well as a new grandpa I am feeling so good about this one. After 840 days I can positivelys say each new steps nd stage of life is better without snuff. For any of you new quitters are reading this just know the rough parts pass and then the sun rises and you can cry out to the new day that you are free! Enjoy the quit, your family, your friends and Christmas

My first Granddaughter Robin Alice Aguon was born yesterday. My daughter Becky was in labor for over 30 hours. Due to the long labor Robin aspirated poo and her lungs were inflamed. She is in the NICU, but she is getting better moment by moment. Thank you all for your prayers.
Congratulations Grandpa! Prayers with your family!
First of all bearhawk congratulations on the Granddaughter there's no better feeling in the world! Sorry about your daughter, prayers to all the family in these glorious and troubled times.
Mommy and baby bird are doing great. Thank you all for your prayers and support as always. So proud of this brotherhood of quit.

So there I was sitting at my desk eating lunch and working on my paperwork when a crumb of bread shoots down the wrong pipe. I start coughing and as I reach for my coffee mug I pass clean out. BAM! I wake up on the floor wondering etc. As I roll over on my left side I find a new adventure in pain. I try getting up and the ol' leg says no way. I pull myself up using my desk and arms and try to man up and walk it off. Nothing doing, the leg won't hold my weight. So off to the ER for lots of fun for the next 7 hours. Broke my left fibula and severely sprained the ankle. Of all the stupid and rough shit I have done in 55 years of living I have never broken a major bone. Rodeo, football, wrestling, 20 years in the Navy, hiking, climbing, and biking to name a few, I have been hit by cars and no I break a leg eating lunch. How fucking dumb is that?
Amazed with all that you have t broken anything yet until now. Well bones do get more brittle I guess. I'm assuming you're not doing rodeo  football anymore. Prayers sent up for quick healing my friend!
No I don't play football or rodeo at mya age but I still love to hike and climb. Have to put thato n hold.
First of all I'm glad you're ok Bear. Second of all, I couldn't stop laughing at your commentary, this is so funny!
Wow!!! I cannot believe this crazy story. But I know that you will persevere. Best wishes on speedy healing bro.
It hurts less when laughing about it. However last night sucked, couldn't sleep, even with pain meds. As always, thank you brothers for your support and laughter, it always helps.
Congratulations on 800!!!
