Greetings to my fj brothers old and new ..

I am now the proud grandfather of a bouncing baby girl 7lbs 15oz. 20" long named Charlotte . All is well with the new family addition .
I just had to share my joy with the group .  :yahoo:

I have been out of touch for a bit with the hot summer and work .
I hope everyone has been well and out riding their fj's.
