    I'm off to Florida for Grandpa's 100th birthday. Got a 6 AM flight to catch. :slap:
    That is going to be rough considering I usually sleep at 2 AM.
    No idea if I will have access to an open wireless while I'm gone. I'll be back Monday afternoon.

    Boynton Beach forecast looks good... High 82, Low 69 :D
    I'll be thinking about you working outside, Norm. :evilsmile: :wave:

    Have a nice trip. Now your grandpa's cake will be a bonfire. I'm only about half his age. He saw the birth of station wagons. Was a child during WWI and definately saw early manned flight. His family probably didn't have a phone or electricity when he was a child and maybe not even indoor plumbing. I can only imagine the things he's seen.

    Definately celebrate.

    Gee Tanks, snivel, snivel... ! I got a cold standing out there with the guys, but they did a great job! One is coming back tonite to help me finish the trim on the dormer. It' about 60 degrees cooler here, than Florida. Have a good time. Pump the old boy for some good stories from the 'good old days'. Memories are the only thing we carry off. :bowdown::rofl2::thumbs2:

    Hey if you get a chance, call a few auto wreckers out there, ask if they have any 72 Monaco wagons, if you can find one, let me know.

    Howdy y'all.

    Just walked around the neighborhood until I found an open wireless to jump onto. Getting ready for the big party tonight. I'll pass along your B-Day greetings.

    We went to Prime Catch last night. :thumbs2:
    Best food I have had in years. We ordered up a variety of steaks and fish and shared them around. Everything was amazing. Can't forget the key lime pie, either.

    Lovin' the weather, too. 80+ degrees and flowers blooming everywhere. Hoping to get an hour or so on the beach tomorrow.

    :tiphat:
