Skip's granddad passed away yesterday.
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 07:06 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
He died exactly has he would have wanted to. He was working on the septic tank out on the farm and he just collapsed. He had had a heart problem for years, and he didn't take care of himself. We'll miss him. He was funny as hell and he could tell a story, let me tell you. Then he told me a joke a Christmas that nearly made me pee my pants. His passion was music, and he loved his damned donkey. Here's a pic.

12. You know, I don't know.
I'm sure someone has fed and watered him, I'm just not sure who.

15. LOL...
Yeah, not Skip's ass, it's Granddad's. When that thing was a baby, Granddad babied that thing like he was a real baby. It was hilarious.
