Title: Fordboy's Birthday
Post by: Milwaukee Midget on June 28, 2016, 10:40:19 PM
I'm jumpin' this one a day early, as work has kept me away from important things like the Midget - and my friend.  I don't want this to go unheralded . . .

Mark, your Birthday is noted this day, and Mrs. Midget and I wish you the best as the odometer clicks another digit.

Your foresight, experience and discipline drew tight the rigging of a loose ship, and while I received much help from many quarters, it was your patience and mentorship in particular that took the Midget effort from the dream and sweat of a quasi-competent shade tree mechanic to a Bonneville record holder.

I regard our friendship and the company of you and your family as one of the finest gifts a person can have.

Mark, Happy Birthday to you.  :cheers:  :cheers:  :cheers:

Well said, Chris!  Bravo.  And Happy Birthday, Mark!

(Didn't you two initially get together after an eBay purchase [or is my mind going  :mrgreen: ]?)

Thanks to one and all for the birthday wishes!!   Although I'm not sure about how I feel about being eligible for Medicare . . . . . .  I guess it beats sucking dirt  :wink:

And thanks in particular to Chris C, the "everyman" of MG greatness . . . . .  MG would be nothing without their "enthusiasts" . . . . .

There has been much of my working life that has provided "self-satisfaction", as opposed to say, other rewards.     But I can't think of any experience I have enjoyed more than participating in the "team effort" of "transforming" the Milwaukee Midget from a "valve train flinging frustration", into the current I/GT record holder.    Details matter, but so does vision . . . . . . .

Hey Buddy, as far as more important matters are concerned, only 6 weeks until Oktoberfest is released for 2016!!   Just in time too, my 2015 supply is nearly exhausted.  :cry:

 :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

A - You don't want to get into a pizzing match with him, and

2 - Good luck finding the slow cells . . . Mrs. Fordboy insists  they exist, but I've yet to find any actionable evidence.

Of course you can't find any slow cells, they get killed off with regularity
Wake up and smell the beers....  :-D

Mark, have a nice birthday.  Maybe there are some Maibock beers from the Spring in some forgotten corner so you can stay out of the precious Octoberfest stash.
