Well first off I must say I'm sorry for not posting in forever. I don't think I can catch up on 20,000 posts either 
Let me update ya on what's been going on. Ma and Pa are enjoying the retired life. My life is just the opposite of theirs. I finally got on day shift now and it's great sleeping like a normal person should! My wife is almost done with her degree in Radiology, it's been a long long time but she can see the light at the end of the tunnel. She has been working 40hrs a week this summer (without pay) for her internship for college and just got hired in (weekends) at the same hospital even though she does not have her degree yet. I told her thats great cause she now has her foot in the door and when she finishes college they will have to pay her more 
So she will be going to classes 5 days a week and working on the weekends. She's gonna be busy until she's done with college next summer. My daughter(16) just got her first job washing dishes and waitressing. Her first night she made over $10.00 per hr with her tips! Maybe I should start charging her room and board 
Now for the boys. Yes Ray they are 9 now! They have been keeping me so busy with baseball, hunting, fishing and racing. Oh and we did go out detecting a couple times! Got the normal indians and silver. Next year I'm getting a water detector (yes I'm getting a Fisher). We've been on several lakes this year fishing and I've noticed a few places to detect that can only be accessed by boat. Let's just say 100's of people hang out there and drink on the weekends playing volleyball in the water. I plan on going there in the mornings. I've never seen anyone detecting it at all this year. So that's basically whats been going on in my life. It should settle down a bit next year. Here's some pictures from last week when we went fishing. Caught some flathead and channel cats in the river. My wife loves to fish as much as the boys do. I took the boys out one night and my wife the next night. She wanted to catch a big fish and she did. These are her first Flathead and channel cats she caught. The flatheads are much bigger in person. You could easily fit your fist in their mouth. Can anyone say catfish nuggets? mmm mmm good!

I'm proud of her and all her hard work is finally going to pay off

Every time we play baseball they ALWAYS mention about when you were here and played with them. Hahaha they will never forget that bud. If I get some time I'll make a video for ya of them playin' ball or fishing. I bet Ryan is up to your shoulders by now and some day you will have to look up to talk to him. He's got a good 3" on Kyle already. Stay tuned for some video!
