Awesome!!! So happy for you... Do we get pics of your new baby? New parents always have pics
It is in the pron section, the pink mossy oak one. This one is special. (check out the map tank thread here)
I am kind of a seasoned parent. This is chuck number six for our family. Though we actually only have four now, my kid lost hubby's cub chuck and I sold my smarkely painted chuck to a co-worker who was using 510's. I let her take a six volt hit and she exclaimed, "I want what you got!" She didn't want to wait and doesn't do internet so I let her adopt my amethyst illusion chuck.
If you look last year around end of March, you'll find a cool Gunsmoke chuck and a good bad ugly little chuck....my babies.
There is also a high life acres with a pin up girl sitting on a ford 8N tractor and a cub little chuck that I had made for my hubby.
I still need to replace that cub chuck, it was so neat. Has to wait though, I used my allocated funds to purchase a pair of custom made chinks that a horse friend was selling....because I have so much free time to get myself back into the saddle these days
(insert major sarcastic tone)

Omni, my Steampunk Chuck is back. I broke off one of the side arm-thingies when I dropped it on the bathroom floor. It hit at just the right angle for it to sheer off. Jeff fixed it by pulling both in closer to the body of the Chuck. It looks gorgeous and is vaping like a champ. I shall post pictures as soon as I get a chance.
The roll bar is genius. It wraps most of the way around the Chuck so it's well anchored regardless of what angle you hit it and it protects the button beautifully. You just need to get used to it being there. Before I sent Omni back to Jeff, I pressed my thumb on the roll bar and then looked down to see why I wasn't getting any vapor more than once.
The funny thing is that my first Chuck was an LC because I was afraid of the weight of a big one. But the big Chuck is so perfectly balanced, it actually puts less strain on my hand than the little one does. I have some minor nerve/circulation/potential carpal problems with my left hand, making this more of an issue for me than for most people. So, if it feels light to me, it should work for almost everyone who doesn't have arthritis, etc.
HA! I knew once you got something bigger you would like it! 
Are you hitting it at six yet?
Are you hitting it at six yet?
ok, order mix up resolved and if at all possible im getting wrinkle black with embossed catterpillar logo somewhere on the chuck. thank you for the idea guys and if it can be done im sure Jeff can do it. (shameless sucking up)
I do really like the camo with the pink. My mom would love that if she needed a chuck. She hunts whenever she can and fishes every other weekend of the year.
I don't hunt. After finally getting my own land etc I do see the important balance of hunting etc. I have a deep respect for responsible hunters. What holds me back is that I am so afraid I won't get it on the first shot and I couldn't bare the thought of putting a living thing into pain and slow death because my aim was off.
I have my property hunted by a bow hunter and he's very skilled plus he doesn't just pop them off because he can, he's very selective. He already got a huge trophy buck off our property and there are times he has seen some good ones just to let them pass because he just saw it being to beautiful to end, he also doesn't hit the young ones just because he can. Though this past few years have been pretty rough winters and I gave him permission to get the shot gun out because we were seeing evidence of some of them starving-especially when they munched down the bottom several feet of the wall off arborvitea trees next to the road and the ones on my roof...can't have them punching holes in my roof liner!
Going to learn to turkey hunt once we move out there permanently as I might finally have the time. I love wild turkey! Eat some of that and you never want a domestic grocery store turkey again! We have a ton of those too! Want to thin them out a bit else I'll end up with the dang coyotes roaming around and with the horses and little dogs, I don't want to have them decide to all take up residence!
I just love mossy oak. Own some tshirts, gloves etc, been drooling over having a nice mossy oak over powered utility quad for a long time, I love looking through the cabella's catalog like most girls like looking through vogue. I have a few very old massive oak trees in my woods. One we call the old man, the other is the queen. It is quite a humbling thing to stand next to them and very heartbreaking to find one that has fallen.
I added the pink because darnit, most of the folks who want to borrow my chucks etc are guys. This one is special and I don't want to lend it out! LOl! I really am going to have to break down and get a plain painted chuck again just for a loaner program. I like flippen people off the cigs and 510 kits just don't do it. I loan them a chuck and bingo, they got a fighting chance to kick it once and for all! I like helping folks but a 60 hour work week plus pets, family and house leaves me no time to do anything volunteer like but I can do this and it is very rewarding!
ETA: Maybe I should order a new loaner chuck and instead of being plain, I should have Jeff do an image of his business card on it! LOL!!! It will provide that little extra push into the get your own direction!

That one's yours? It's great!!!!!
I couldn't do it but I have nothing against people who hunt as part of how they feed themselves and their families. But there are far too many people who just enjoy going out there and killing.
I had an uncle who shot skeet. But he could never kill a living thing.
Next he was shooting birds but he could never shoot a deer with those gorgeous eyes, etc.
Of course he ended up hunting deer.
The excuse was always "but we eat it." Well, yeah, that's better than shooting it and leaving it to rot, but that's not why he did it. Once, when he was blowing that smoke up my
I asked how much it cost him a pound -- flying from suburbia to where he went hunting, a fancy lodge for a week, hiring a guide, etc. and he said "around $1,500." Don't tell me that you are hunting for food when you do that.

HAHA yah i get the difference between sports and "just feel like it" hunters and people that do it for food. I have been building my own bows and arrows now for just over 2 and a half years and still have yet to go hunting with one. Tons of target practice though. Maybe one day, but i have to say the Army is treating me pretty well, i can support my family on my salary and not have the bill collectors knocking down my phone. Must agree with you on the wild turkeys as well i had small farm raised beef, pork, chicken, eggs and turkey growing up, nothing from the store compares... though it does seem like a lot more work if you raise your food lol.
Quick edit: Great idea about the thagbuilt.com business card.

Yeah, its mine Poeia, still stalking the mailman though.
Once we sell this place (seems like it is never gonna happen) we will go after our own food. Chickens, beef, venison and turkey and pork too I guess. The crap at the grocer is aweful and expensive. Not sure how much we really will save but the quality will be better. No hormones and I am not sure what the heck they are doing with the meat these days, especially beef but they do not hang it. Sell it full of water cause they price by the pound I guess but on occassion I get some beef etc from neighbors and yes, the difference is there. Couldn't raise my kids on hormone free meat but I sure intend to raise my grandchildren on it. I've had dear eat the bushes right outside my creek house window, we've had turkey jump off the roof right in front of us (underground home) so we surely won't be needing a guide! LOL!

Wow, I wish you guys could see her in person, my cheesy chuck (what else to do you call mossy oak and hot pink?) is so cute. The print came out much more smaller, detailed and delicate than I was expecting! Jeff is doing a double clear coat now and it gives the image so much depth!
And that little secret I've yet to spill? Incredible! I'll spill tomorrow, my new boss has me working ten plus hour shifts and I am also kind of busy in the shop.

Im still stalking the chuck forum looking for my pron. we have to work through the weekend getting all the equipment running like new for others to take charge of it, so i really really want to get my hands on my chuck before this weekend. like i tell my kids, "wanting is good, builds character"
Hang in there MOS! You got all your batts and accessories ready?
Just popping in to clean out the cobwebs and dust in this thread. This was one of my favorite places, I just hate to see it looking like an abandoned mine shaft!

I, personally am new to the thread - only recently being "Chucked" by my dear friend BonnieGirl and her Miss Sexy Chuck she loaned me for a test drive. But, after reading back, this place was a hoot back when and I believe we need to bring it back to it's rightful place!
All hale the Chuck!!! Come one and all and let's get the thread hopping...
No more booing & hooing from me! Mine will be born soon and then it will be time to order another one (already got it designed).
Speaking of which... Where is BonnieGirl? Bonnie... Oh Bonnie? Come out and play BonnieGirl!
