Darn, I can't get up early enough to get a thread started when I'm giving away a 6/7 hour head start!!! So anyway, no big deal, I'll just pile on . . . . . :evil:
Congratulations to the "Sconnie Nation beer swiller", Shattered guitarist, pigmy pilot, transplanted cheese head, sound technician, tow vehicle driver, MG enthusiast, "gnome 'napper", displaced Hawkeye, long suffering Cub fan (maybe this is THE year), MG historian, raconteur, internet blogger, "engine GURU" in training, wrong side of the "cheddar curtain" resider, swamp drainer, Brewers fan, virgin curer, and all round good friend.
Whew!! Hope I didn't leave anything out!!
Just for surviving another year in the Wisconsin "environment" . . . . It must be the "mostly vegetarian" diet, although . . . it could be the prophylactic alcohol injections . :-o
BTW, opting out of the "Meatloaf at the Genesee theatre" show turned out to be "poor choice". The show was 100 minutes of high energy "nostalgia rock" and worth every penny.
Enjoy your day shoveling out what "Mother Nature" bestowed on Milwacky last night!!
NO, seriously, enjoy your day!! (the sixties and arthritis are just around the corner . . .)
AND, just wait. Spoiler alert!!! Sexagenarian doesn't mean what you think it does . . . . . .
Have a great day buddy!! Mrs. Fordboy sends her well wishes too. See you soon.

Ah, Chris, another notch on the frame of the bed. No, wait, that's not the right phrase, is it?
Whatever -- many happy returns of the day, young feller. There are one or two items in Fordboy's list that I might question -- but nah, let's leave it at Happy Birthday! :cheers:
Nancy and I send our best to you (and Kate, too, while we're at it).

Chris;
It's your birthday- take the day off, listen to some Merle, drink some beer, & relax.

Impossible to top fordboy's eloquent wish.
So, HBD Stud.
Give Mrs. Midget a nasty hug for me.
I frequently think of you but I really miss her.

Neil, that passing beat me down a bit this week.
One of my listed "Sponsors" is WMSE radio in Milwaukee. They are a community based radio station operated by the Milwaukee School of Engineering, and it's all music, all the time. Each DJ is a volunteer and formats their own program. It's been a Friday morning ritual for me for 16 years to tune in between 9:00 and Noon to catch "The Chicken Shack". It's old time country, gospel, jump blues, rockabilly, outlaw and Americanna for three hours straight.
Yesterday morning, it was wall-to-wall Hag -
http://www.wmse.org/playlists/?station=wmse&ptype=i&spinitron-month=Apr&spinitron-year=2016&playlist=15569
I did not stray from the radio yesterday morning.
After Hank Williams, Merle Haggard stands head and shoulders above his peers. He sang equally as well as George Jones or Ray Price, could write circles around Cash, played guitar as well as Buck Owens, and one often overlooked fact is that he played fiddle dammed near as well as Bob Wills.
Anyway . . .
Plans today include a little garage clean-up (seems to be an ongoing theme this spring), Sushi and a movie with the woman I've been instructed to give a nasty hug to (Doctor's orders), and a bit of studying.
This last week, I've added the responsibilities of Human Resources Officer to my vitae at work. We're growing in a way where the position is becoming critical to keeping and maintaining our staff, and I'm taking a lot of work off of the desk of our CFO, where it's been on the back burner since that role was redefined earlier this year. This will slowly take me out of field work in rentals and more into a true managerial role, and quite frankly, at 56, am less inclined to want to participate in climbing ladders, hanging speakers and setting up sound systems at 4:00 in the morning than I was thirty years ago.
It appears to be a solid career segue for me.
I also saw the Brewers beat the Giants on Wednesday, despite stranding 10 runners and two errors. That's what I like about baseball and LSR - you can screw up a bit and still chalk one up in the win column.
So it's been an interesting week for me, and yes, Paul, an Old Speckled Hen or two are on the docket - and probably a bit of Templeton on the rocks.
Thanks, everyone. There's simply not a better group of folks I'd rather include in today's festivities and thoughts than my LSR family! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

We are blessed to have You in our fold, whether it's
on this site or on the Salt. This forum is treated well
with the contributions of Mid America. Your week
at Bonneville pleased me. Preparing for your departure
was a revelation. You won't likely have that type of
help on your next trip. I could hope.

Ah Freud, that sorta sounds like a pre-obituary if You get My drift....... To the best of My knowledge no one ever croaked from Salty Curds and Beer although over the Years I came close a time or two........... :-D :roll: :cheers:
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS! :-D
Best wishes to you for this one and many more to come. 8-)
Have a cold one and relax enough to smell the roses as you have opportunity. :cheers:
Regards from the high country,
HB2 :-)

ONB........No way "A pre-Obit." The helper he had the last time is
unlikely to return with him on the next trip. Both of them are well,
trong and just the exact type of people that make our extended family
so special. Midget understands, I am certain. If not I'll call him and
make certain that he does.

Happy belated B'Day Chris and may you have MANY more! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Happy Birthday Chris. You are doing a good job on that car. This should be a good year for you if the salt gods allow us to race.

Happy Chris Day.... :cheers:
