Congratulations to Young Blood who graduated from college today.

Onward and upward!

It was bound to happen sooner later.

HUGE congrats man! On to big things for Youngblood!

Congratulations Chris! Well Done!

Congrats Chris!

Congratulation on your graduation Chris.

Congrats Chris!!!! Have you made that call yet ? Now the real work starts.

Congrats, Chris. Take a little time and savor the accomplishment...

Congratulations Chris!
Thanks for letting us share your journey.

Ha! Good work, chris!

Excellent. I'm sure it is a real relief, but also a time for looking inward. The rest of your life can now begin! Best of luck.

Congratulations! How are you going to use your new ticket?

Congrats! Now go out and a difference!

Randall looks like he still can't believe it.

Who want's to photoshop some captions in for Randall?

Nice job, Chris-man!
-

I'm gonna let JHAP start the "thought-balloon" parade

I'm home brewing a few good ones.

It shall be the gift that keeps on giving.

Caption-Randall: 'OK, finally the boy graduates......but is he really out of my pocket yet??.......I hope he doesn't think he's moving back into the house........why did I ever agree to fund his Fisheries thing???......didn't some guy say he'd hire the boy at Pond Boss II??...Grimes I think it was...'

Randall: When he gets a job, I get a raise. I think I'll saw off his end of the table and rent out the bedroom.

Randall: 'Does this mean the boy's going to pay for his own car insurance now????'

Oops missed the boat. I've been kinda busy the last few days.

Besides I think a little decorum is called for in this situation.

First off congratulations Chris! You have achieved a major milestone in your life and this will pave the way to your future.

Mom and Dad Youngblood look proud and they should be. I had the pleasure of meeting Randall and the PB2 conference. Great guy, and IIRC he had some funny stories about running the large tractor while digging their pond(s?).

Go forth and prosper Youngblood, the world is your Phylum Mollusca.

"Besides I think a little decorum is called for in this situation."

We're way past that.

I haven't even weighed in yet

Randall: 'I wonder if Chris is buying dinner...'

Hey Man! I've never even met Blood's mother!

Brettski,

If I don't get a job soon I'm going to be running that dozer full time down at our property.

Chris - I have always wanted to run a dozer. Call me if you need some time off! How big a dozer are we talking here?

77 hp engine and 17,000 lbs.

Dwight, couldn't you use some help up there? Blood probably couldn't make it through the winter, but, oh well...

Doesn't Dwight need a catpoke or is that a catboy?

Hey, Chris, congrats, man! Been away a little while and all the good stuff appears to happen when I'm offline!

I was thinking more of something in the 1000 hp+ 200 Ton+ size range.
