Hang it on the wall in the garage as 1st place trophy, lol!! Thats what we do at the job when we "ALL GOOF" at some point or another. Over the years the trophies have become quite unique!!

I agree with you but cant watch from the car. Maybe on the TV while building the Daddyo in the garage. Actually my children love watching the old movies with me. My kids definately are not caught in todays stream of crap. Praying continually works!!
