OK....so Hub has been technically 'retired but looking for another job' for 3 months now...

We have been able to do some fun and interesting things like:
         a number of home improvements (blogs to come)
         take a trip to California with Chris and Pam (blogs to come)
         and buy a Tacoma truck which we've always wanted.....
                            (see below)

Happy Birthday, Hub!
