Popping in to say hey!!

[i.keenum]

Sorry I haven't been around much, just been busy lately. My step father passed away last October and I have had a lot going on since then. Stepped up and started working on call for the family business a couple days a week or when needed. My wife had our third son on 4/4/15 and been busy with the new baby thing. My brother thought it would be nice to get my son a puppy for his 5th birthday on 2/23/15. The youngest sibling is moving out to college at the end of summer and the family house will be empty so my mom wants to get a new place and we will be moving into my family home.

Still keeping busy with the hobbies and enjoying my pipes. Here is a few pictures to show I'm well and show some of the things I have been working on. Been making replacement scales for folding knives and customizing the blades. Takes less time than a whole knife and I can do the work on the front porch.

New baby:

Gees! You've changed your appearance a bit I see. No more clean cut "Jimmy Olsen" no more.
And a brand new baby born with a full head a hair too.
You've been a busy young man alright.
Some pretty knives to say the least also.

Ian, First things first. That is a handsome youg man you have there. I'm sure you're so proud you're about to burst. Any Dad would be. Secondly those are some good looking knives and the pup looks way more intelligent than a lot of people I have had the misfortune to meet. Hope you can find time from you're busy schedule to make an appearance more often. I always enjoyed reading your posts.

Yep but I didn't want to call it out, though it does seem to eliminate any possible questions of paternity.
