Well since you asked,

I am offshore now but after I get home I will be going to the airport to pick up my fathers day gift. I have wanted a parrot for the last 12 years or so, my wife bought me a baby Congo African Grey parrot from The Emerald Forrest bird gardens, I am very excited about it

Another CZ .22 rifle.

African Greys are awesome.

African Greys are awesome.

That is what I hear from everyone who has one or has owned one I can't wait to meet the little fellow!

[Timestepper]

Same thing I got for my birthday: A couple more months free rent as long as I promise to try and catch up on my honeydos.

[pops572]

Got a full detail job on my truck (which hadnt been done in 2 years) by my wife and son. And a ASP USB sapphire light. And a steak dinner. Its been a good day.

[Guest Victor9er]

My son got me a couple of Star Wars figures (he's all into Star Wars now and he knows I like it so he wanted to get some figures for me lol) and I got a bag of M&M's and some shirts and shorts from my wife. Though to be fair I kind of got the "big" gift a couple of weeks ago when she let me buy an AR-15 at the gun show

[gunrunner32]

I took my daughter out to Home Depot and Lowes today, she helped me pick out some tile tools. I got a few knotched trowels, grout float, jam saw, tile nippers and to top it all off she let me get a nice wet saw.

I also cheated a bit and I got the mail the other day and there was a package from Sinclair International, I don't know the caliber but it felt like a shellholder...no dies, but I can only assume she phoned in the order to Midsouth shooter supply being as it it's only 5 minutes from the house.

[jtmaze]

I got a 15 gallon 200 psi, 5cfm air compressor for birthday 6-17 and fathers day. Has been a good day. Plus will get to go to Tn river and spend fathers day with my dad. Who can ask for more.

Fathers-birthday-mas gift was a 36" H2Pro tool center I'd been wanting for the garage.

[R1100R]

I got some home made cards my children made for me. Then was given a mini fridge/freezer for my man cave/shop.

Then off to the mountains for vacation.

[VERO1]

A text message.

A 10-inch table-saw, dinner out, visit from San Antonio of my son and his wife, and assorted tools. And a card.

We have an African Grey. He talks...a lot. When I come home, he greets me and asks "did you miss me". When I leave he says "goodbye, see you later". When he's ready to go to bed, he says he's "ready to go to bed". When I cover his "house" he says "goodnight, sweet dreams, see you in the morning" and follow that with an "I love you". When he misbehaves and I give him "the look", he'll say "Stanley's (his name) a good boy". When someone visits, he says "hello my friend". If the dog's bark, he barks. If one of the dogs whine, he'll ask them if they're ok. If you sneeze, he'll bless you. He calls the dogs by name and asks them to bring toys, they bring toys. If they go to the door, he asks if they need to go out. When I head off to bed at night, even though he's covered in his house, he says good night to me. When I head down the hall toward the living room first thing in the morning, he says good morning. And the list goes on.

He's only 4 years old and started talking when he was almost one. He's learning more all the time. He's truly amazing. He's talking to the dogs now as I write this. My wife works nights and is still sleeping so he's asking the dogs "where's your mama?". He knows no bad language because he doesn't hear any. I've had people ask me why he doesn't cuss. I just tell them he has a better command of the English language then most people I know and can communicate well without those words. Treat your Grey as part of the family and include him and he will be part of the family. My biggest concern for mine is that I know he'll outlive my wife and me and I worry about what will happen to him when we're gone. They need lots of attention and love.

I'm sure you're going to enjoy the new addition to the family.

For me, I got a 22 acre farm for Father's Day. I close on the 29th. The house on it needs to be torn down but I'm not planning to live there. It's got lots of oak and hardwoods. I'll be looking for a logger to thin it out a bit and maybe get a little return on my investment. It's going to be my weekend getaway (and range). Only twenty minutes from the house. I couldn't ask for anything better than that.

Happy Father's Day all!

[Chucktshoes]

Nothing, just the way I like it. Hopefully my wife won't get any bright ideas and it will stay that way.

[Guest Travtastik]

I got a set of Dawson precision sights for my m&p, some paintings and cards my son made at daycare and going to eat red lobster later today with my dad.

I guess you got the garage cleaned out. I didn't see much room for that when I was there.

Since I washed her car and filled the tank, I think it's a ribeye and baked potato before work for me. Well,

there will probably be a belated wet/dry vac since the old one quit this morning.

She's a great gal. I'm happy!

[Guest Scramasax]

The bill!

Cheers,

[Dolomite_supafly]

The greatest thing I could ask for.

Lunch with my son before he heads to his next duty station as well as with my wonderful wife. Not sure how often I will be able to say that once he leaves in a few weeks.
