Happy Father’s Day from Big Squid RC!
Happy Father’s Day to every dad out there from Big Squid RC! Make sure you take some time today to give your dad a call, a card, or just cause a little less trouble than usual 🙂

A good percentage of the people there were totally new to many of us ‘regulars’ and [...]
