Happy Birthday, good buddy Bill.  It's been a good bunch of years since Nancy and I met you way down there in Houston - and you've been a great fellow to know ever since then.  Hey - for what it's worth, Nancy and I have known you since your name was Bill, not Sparky.  What does that tell you?

Many happy returns of the day. :-D :cheers: :-D :cheers:

There aren't any more for him to get unless there is a 400 MPH hat  :-).

I'm always looking for any reason to raise a glass.

Sometimes, I just make things up, but THIS ONE IS FOR REAL!

Happy Birthday, Bill!

 :cheers:

Happy birthday my friend!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin
