      Happy B-Day fellas!!! Another trip around the sun has been completed! Feel like you traveled that far??
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        Thanks for the well wishes!!

        Had to work today , but SWMBO gets more time for lunch, so she went to a local "pub" and brought me some nice beer battered fish-n-chips. My B'day is also shared with a fellow employee in the billing dept, the office provides a cake each month for all who have b'days that month.

        SWMBO took me out to Outback Steakhouse for dinner, started off with their famous cheesfries, then a simple salad. Had a nice little sirloin, with shrimp skewers and grilled scallops and steamed veggies.

        She forgot to get my IceCream Cake, so I'll have a delayed desert this weekend! My new Mini-Alt hasn't arrived yet, but should be here any day now, and then I can continue the ALT MOD. Temps are going to be in the 60's tomorrow so I hope to get home and take the bike out for a little run, as well as going to the local auto repair shop to get the ALT frequency measured as a hopefully confirmation on my calculations.

        I know Steppenwolf is a bit colder where he's at. Prom is in the PNW, hope he also had a good day. Regrettably, I think he's gone back into seclusion due to my actions with the .org post!? He is missed, but we also have quite a few fun characters here now as well.

        Also thanks for the PM's as well! And yes, lately I DO feel 'ridden' that far, a fair # of miles on this carcass, but think it's got quite a few more to go yet!
