OK, I was trying to hold off on the announcement....

[Jamir]

But I am a dad....again. Nathan Daniel Barnes was born at 4:58am on April 5. Here is the deal. I have pics but am waiting for the correct program to download them off the camera.

Here is the other deal. The little future Chad Reed is still in the hospital. That is why I have not been around much. Been a bad week.

His platelette count was low and still is. They are saying that he will probably still be there for another couple of days unless it goes down more.

Other than that, the cat is as healthy as can be. So the doctors tell me anyway.

My first son was in ICU for 2 weeks so this is old hat for me. I still hate it though.

I can't wait to see this bill. Thank God for insurance.

Anyway, any of you who want to help me celebrate and have a cigar with me, click the link below to the birthday bash. I will be holding a brief showing of the lad before the b-day bash.

And no I do not have an XR fiddy picked out. We are a Yamaha family. I am cramming the 400 engine into a PW.

WOW!  Congrats dude!  :thumb: :yeehaw:

There ain't nothing like it.  In a few weeks, he'll be settled in at home and running rich.  You'll be up to your elbows in poop and puke trying to figure out how to get him rejetted!  :)

Congrats on lil Nathan, Jamie!! Might wanna detune the PW400 for when he first starts out and fix that damn whirring noise ;) Hope he comes home soon!

Congrats! :D

 

[oldguy]

Congratulations both mom and dad :yeehaw:
Here's to him being home real quick- BTW I found the origonal spooge phase is the one to volunteer to work on. Let mom rest in the beginning and then she can handle the spooge after the more interesting fuels take hold :scream:

 

[Camstyn]

Congrats Jamie, I can only imagine the joy of having a child. I hope the little Mrs. is doing well, and your son comes home soon!

I hear that if you change the silencer packing frequently you'll get less spooge mess, FWIW. :thumb: Until they break in, it becomes saturated rather fast.

 

[sfc crash]
