    Congratulations! By far the most profound and meaningful life changing experience I know of.....

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Chris,
    Congrats on the news, get ready for all those projects that the little ones will bring We are expecting our first this November so all I can tell you is to have patience with your wife... My wife calls it pregnancy brain Late night runs to the store to satisfy cravings etc it will be a crazy time. I know that you are looking forward to it as much as we are

    So, that's news - comming from Loveland?????

    Seriously, Chris, Congrats to you & the MRS.
    When the time comes, are you going to find out if it will be a boy or girl?
    Some of my Male friends did not want to know,beforehand. the Mothers-to-be seem to always want to know.
    Hope everything works out great for you both.
    Now, get busy in that shop!!!

    Congrats, Chris, that's great news. Like Donnie said, you might want to get in some shop time over the next few months while you still are sleeping relatively normal hours.
