When he mentioned the saw it was after he'd responded to my "what would you like for your birthday?" query with "a toy. One with a power cord." He's very good at setting expectations, my husband is.

Well gee, I guess that was a poorly worded thread title, as his birthday is now today! His daughter Rebecca is here for the weekend. Son Ryan coming at 0900 for breakfast. The big gathering is at noon but Ryan has to work today--photographing a wedding. But bonus daughter Elaine, DIL Rachael and all the grandkids will be here, along with his parents, some sibs of his, cousin, nephew, etc. along with friends. I expect at some point he'll play with his birthday gift, but I'll leave it to him to tell you what he got

It appears that clicking on the link records a vote for them. If that's the case, then I've done it. Looks like one can vote each day?

His profile here says, "birthday unknown." But I have it on very good authority (multiple reliable sources in fact....) That his DOB is April 18, 1959....which means, of course....that tomorrow He turns 50!! Please wish him a happy one.

Hope you had a happy, happy one! 60 sure looks a lot younger than it did 10 years ago, hmmm?

Our prayers go out to the family. So, so sad.

I see Rich has already explained our boat's name, so I'll skip that. My mom chose my "handle." *********************************** They named a TENT?!?!?!? There's a joke in there somewhere....

The other options, of course, are to turn down the heat. Or use a nonstick pot.

All done. The little man is almost two and a half and this is his first weekend solo with us. Two stories, 30 seconds of drama, and he was down for the count Good to see everyone!

No worries, Wiley! It's harder than that to offend me

Cherry Garcia.

It looks like Sid uploaded an image of them, judging by where the anchors appear....

I didn't get an invitation but Rich held the door open for me..... Nice to be here!
