What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
And I will have to return waterproof snowgloves for me and @Gumbies R Us, and River's new snow mittens and snow suit...

You should keep the things for you and Bailey... however, River will outgrow his stuff pretty quick. Though, I am sure he would look adorable all bundled up... like Ralphies brother off "A Christmas Story".
 
Cool, but the entry price has to go up to two cases of Blanton's. I'm going to need the extra case to wash those memories from my brain.
Deal! I'll even bring a 12 year Glenlivet
 
PSA: It is with great comfort that I let you all know that John @kingranch2003 does not appear in either of his son's, Big John, first two videos. I also found it rather interesting that, in Big John's 2025 recap, he gave shout outs and thank-yous to a number of people, including his mom. However, no mention of his dad. Makes me wonder why that would be. He did discuss and show how one of his teeth "fell out." Hhhhmmmm... Perhaps you need a tutorial on how to beat your kids without leaving any marks, John. I can send you my video tutorial series for the low, low price of $99.99. Before you ask, that is the "family and friends" price. Normal price is $100.00.

I will say that Big John is quite the animated and articulate guy for a 9 year old.

I will watch the other videos as time allows with the hope of not having to see his dad.

Carry on, happily, with the rest of your day.
I make zero appearances. Im much less photogenic lol
 
do it.....do it....I can stop by then next jump when I go to Miami with the team....
I will bring Blantons and cigars...
Blanton's!? Sir you ARE a gentleman!
