But I bet it's not a very happy birthday with your lady gone!  Oh well, this calls for a beer... Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Start2, how did my cat find his way to your house?
Those orange cats make great pets but not great steaks.
Looks like you are getting an early Start 2 July 4.
Hope you had a great birthday.

Wow,
  Thanks you guys. Was extremely busy the first part of the week and now just got back from Philly where we picked up a car and brought it back. I like to buy certain used cars, do a few repairs and resale them for a bit of a profit. It's becoming somewhat of a hobby/past-time. This time I bought an 89 BMW 325I convertible. Very low miles and in decent shape. It really is a classic body style and my son loved the drive back. Had some rain but after that, we put the top down and cruised. Trip was great and we honked and waved when we passed your old exit Ken. Hey, that $50 gas card you sent for my B'day came in handy!!!!!!Thanks alot my friend. All you guys should make friends with Ken!!
   Ken,  you know when you put that shaslyk on the grill you have to run the kitties off. They can get pretty bold even over a hot fire. I know, it's not being cooked over wood coals but I like gas just the same. You guys notice the apron. Ken's wife made that for me. We are ALWAYS grilling outside. This pic was actually in spring when his wife Elena came to visit. Elena's a helluva tailor/seamtress and is darn creative when it comes to fashion.  My wife and Elena whipped up a marinade for the pork. We let it sit in the marinade for 3 days then I cooked. Talk about melt in your mouth. Wish you could have been here ken.
  Simoni, yea, it's been 2 birthdays now without the wife. She can't stand it. As you know, your FSU wives excell in planning any party but especially when it concerns her husband. That is your day and nothing is to good for you. We will celebrate when she returns or I go there. Hey, aren't you gettin ready to split?
  Larry, sorry we couldn't hook up for dinner but I bet you had a good time out of town too.
   On the way back just had to make a side trip to Essex and eat some Chesapeake Bay crab cakes and chowder. I missed it last time when I was in the area but not this time.
