FlatRacer's new crew member

[FlatRacer, aka BarrelBack]

My wife, Nicole and I just had a baby boy. Jack was born Dec. 23rd at 3:04 PM weighing in at 6 lb, 15 oz.
First time father at age 41...wow.

Happy New Year all!!!

Congradulations on your new son, Yes I fully agree about getting out of the flat bottoms. I was thrown out of my Stevens Drag boat at 125 mph, Not a good feeling waking up in a Hospital with multible broken bones.

First time Daddy at 41? We had Patrick when I was 46, Andrew at 48,Shannon at 52. Then I found out what causes pregnancy,cut that part out in a hurry...Believe me being older is better,you will now make the time to do everything with him as time is more precious. A luxury we don't have that the young guys have...ENJOY ...Ed
