Congrats to you and the parents I'm sure you'll have him smoking some ribs and butts soon enough to put some meat on his bones

A Grandson--that's great news, Jim. Every Grampa needs at least one Grandson to pass his "wisdom" on to.
We only have one grandchild, but he's all boy. Great to have around, but as all boys can be, at 5 years old he can be a real handful--that's when its time for Grampa to step up and steer him right.
Enjoy!!!!

I taught my 5 year old grandson, Orion, to pee outside this spring. Once was all it took and for the next 2 weeks anytime he had to go, he'd just drop his pants and let 'er rip. I've since been informed, by his mother, that I should have also taught him that peeing outside at Grampa's place out in the bush was fine, but......dropping his pants and peeing in the common area of their apartment complex in the big city was a no-no. Who knew???

Ha, when I was a young guy… kindergarten age… we have always lived out in the country and peeing outside was just common, and my Dad and Grandpa encouraged it as it was easier when ya were out in the field vs going all the way back to the house!

Well, all was good til I took that mentality to kindergarten… well I had to go… so I did! On the playground swing set leg… Me in all my glory watering down the swing set leg… Mom and Dad got a call on that one!

Sorry Jim, didn’t mean to hijack your thread buddy! My apologies!

Congrats, Jim. I have a couple of granddaughters. Both like eating what I cook up, but the older one isn't really interested in learning how I do what I do. The younger likes to cook, but not quite old enough yet to learn the art. Teach him well to keep the art of smoking living on in future generations as he grows up.

Congrats Jim on the addition to the family, and a boy to teach all you wisdom of the big world.

Hope he comes out of the extra care at the hospital , stronger and ready to roll.

Thanks folks. Talked to my son this morning. Still gonna be a couple of days before he's out. Weaning oxygen and they are tube feeding him due to the CPAP. Hes maintaining his weight and regulating his temp on his own, so off the warming pad now. But doc said he is doing great. I am not a peds nurse by any means. So this is well out of my wheel house.

Sounds like great news to me Jim. He'll be home in no time at all.

Now your first official Grampa duty is to figure out a way to smoke his breast milk. He's probably wondering what's taking so long.
