      Man time flies. This baby turned 8-years old today. She's halfway to driving!

      I fully intend to teach her to drive in my truck. She can get her license when she can drive a 2wd pickup in the snow, and competently park that beast.

        Happy birthday to the kiddo!

        I learned how to drive in rwd full-size pickups and full-size vans. I recommend it highly!

            Hammer’s expression is priceless. He’s worried about that foot.

              @shop-teacher After learning to drive on full size pickups you can park anything. I learned on a lifted Chevy HD and a Suburban.

                @dipodomysdeserti Exactly. I learned in my dad's '95 K1500. Parking that required threading one heck of a needle between our house and garage.

                  @jminer I learned to drive in my dad's K1500. I figured out the 2wd part a couple years later, when I got my S-10. Driving a RWD pickup with an open diff, on all seasons, will teach you a thing or two.

                        It never stopped him. He used to hop up there all the time during diaper changes.

                                      My wife has already told me, she's putting her on birth control as soon as she gets her period. I said that's fine, just don't tell me.

                                        Yeah he was. My daughter was 7 months old when we got him. And he only weighed 1 pound at the time. They've grown up together.

                                              @shop-teacher That's a nice story 🙂

                                              Is he 'her' cat? 🙂

                                              We got our cat 5 years ago when she was 12 weeks - feral and we tamed her. She's 'my' cat as she always comes to me when she wants something or wants to play or when I go to bed, she sleeps with me....never my brother or mom unless I'm not home. 🙂

                                                No, not really. It started off that way. He used to sneak into her room at night before we closed the door, so he could watch over her. For a while, he really favored our younger daughter, because the big one played really rough with him, while the little one was super gentle. He definitely loves both of them, and is super patient with them.

                                                The only lap he'll sit on though, is my wife's. When he was little he'd sit on mine, but not anymore. He likes to play "railing" with me. He'll go upstairs while I'm on the stairs, and stick his face or his paws through the railing, and we'll box and play around. He exposes his underbelly to me all the time, so I know he trusts me.
