Your a good grandpa! My grandpa mostly just gave me work and misery. There was a few acts of kindness which I hold dear.

See this lad grows up straight and strong, lord knows we need them

Great looking rifle as well

Quick grandpa story My grandpa kept a an old tin of hard candy on the coffee table downstairs. We were not allowed to touch it!
Well, while visiting one winter to work, I sneaked back in down stairs and snagged me some of that candy. A little while later
he came and asked if I had been in the candy, and I said no! Well he took me to the door and pointed at the carpet downstairs. Well,
sure enough there was tracks to the candy tin, the snow melted off my boots and left the trail. I was caught lying, and grandpa gave me
a stern talking!
