Burken Boys’ and Girl’s Journey

[wjburken]

Good kid. Time goes by so fast. Too fast sometimes.

Yes sir.

This picture my wife made definitely brings that thought home.

13 years ago, at the age of 5, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and we didn’t know what his future held. Now he’s 18 and moving into the life of being an adult.

Dang, I didn't know you had a kiddo

Her mom did a grand job of alienation.

Congratulations to both of you!

 

[RAMurphy]

What an awesome young man. Congrats to you both.

Almost ditto.....just a few months off. She was just 8 yesterday when we put the wheels on the 110cc Chinese knock-off pink ATV I bought her for her birthday as it sat on the curb in a cheap metal crate. For fox sake, time flies. Or is it fun flies when you're doing time.......one of the two.

Congrats to @wjburken on raising a good young man. It's becoming harder and harder in this world. Well done to you and others here who launched good kids into the world.

Javier decided to sell his 2001 F350 and get a “new” truck. Found a really clean 1990 Silverado K1500 with 153,000 on the clock. Has the 5.7 under the hood. Thing is solid. Doesn’t creak, groan or rattle going over bumps and railroad crossing.

He took this photo last night with his phone.

I really like the seat material (cloth)they used on the obs trucks. Very cool and it holds up pretty good.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here, but life has been rather busy.

That being said, here is a post about my daughter.

The blower motor was going out on my wife’s Yukon and my daughter wanted to fix it. Here are photos of her taking the old one out, and putting the new one back in. She fits under the dash better than I do. She even earned her first RockAuto magnet.

Nice work she does! Kudos!

And good to hear from you, Wade. How's the rest of the family doing? I think about Joseph every day, and hope he's doing well....
