    WOW !!!!! Congrats to your dad for pulling it off while he has plenty of years to enjoy it!!!


    I don't know your budget but how about something he hasn't been able to do???
    Like a coupon for a charter boat fishing trip, or a weekend getaway to a B&B, or a coupon for 9 or 18 holes if he's into that.

    Or a whole new set of grilling tools if he likes to bbq....or tickets to something he's been wanting to see or a ball type of game....or if budgets tight, go wash his car and shine his shoes, a hammock,a new tool, a dad day where you just take a drive and spend the day seeing what happens when you have no plan....

    A couple new bushes for the yard and a new set of garden tools, thats all I can think of for now...

    A fishing pole and a 6 pack, or like I tell my old lady, when in doubt, buy tools. You can't go wrong with tools.

    COOL....wow I shouda thought about the metal detector...Larry used to have one and told me he had a blast with it....

    At least I got one right.....hammocks are the best and when Larry retires thats what I'm getting him.

    I'm sure your dad loved his gifts.
