@CannaGranny thanks, I spoke to him this morning he sounds like shit but he is all doped up too so I'll go see him later this evening. May have just been claimed by a stray cat...I found the ornery thing trying to nest in my flower bed during that cold shit and figured fuck it bring it some warm milk....feed it once it stays...it was on the porch this morning. Gave it another bit of milk. Wife's getting cat food for it later. Yea, kids will be thrilled i suppose lol.
Thanks everyone else for the kind words too, my dad's been steady my whole life. Steady working, steady drunk in his off time. But he always played by the rules and saved the drinking for after work. He gained alot of weight the last 10 years so that'll be the struggle now to shed some of that and not gain....we will see how it goes. If he starts asking me to bring him beer we may have problems
