Boerne Brush Fires Today - i.e. Dick

[Steve_R]

I heard there might be a chance of brush fires today in Boerne. Something about having to use a flame thrower to light all the candles on Dick's cake. Seems they were having trouble getting the last one lit without the first one burning out. :p :D

[Bruce]

The local FD has been notified and is now on high alert status. Even firehouses as far away as SA have been alerted just in case they are needed. :histerica

Happy Birthday. I hope that you have been resting up from that little snack on Saturday.

[eatanner]

I guess that explains the northern lights observed here in San Antonio. Ole Dick lights 'em up on a normal day so HAPPY BIRTHDAYS are so right on!

[Dick]

Hey, hey - thanks one and all. Appreciate the birfday wishes. Got me a chocolate cake yestiday - get the ice cream upgrade today!! ;) I wuz reminded by Barrett that we have a burn ban, plus we're on water restriction, so forewent the candle lighting ceremony and used the mini-mag lighter from ole Toad's oddermint thangie. 'Sides, at my age, I'm well past counting candles - save the cake plate; just pass the pan; and don't bother cuttin' the thang up in nice leetle squares! I gotta burger-flipper thangie off the barby; that'll take them portions out just 'bout my size!! :D Yummers!

Thanks again, folks. Some Mondays are better'n others and this one is startin' out great. Also, loved my PM notes to wake up to.

[grifscoots]

Happy birfday! I called the National Guard and some of them tank carrying helichopters are a hovering over your general area!

[early1]

Remember to put on the SPF -50 before the party.
OH, and don't forget the Silvadene for after the cake.

[NOGILLS2]

well Happy Birthday Dick! I dont know what all the fuss is about 29 candles dont make that big of a fire now does it?:histerica

[blouw]

Happy B'day, Dick.

Good seeing you on Saturday.

Hey, Edgar - thanks! You got lunchies planned today? We're gonna let the Dodgin' Duck host a leetle twosome table - got room for more! Ya think a cold glass of Porter :beer: would go good with chocolate cake and a scoop or two of Blue Bell??? :thumb: C'mon by. Put your fone on just in case we find the Cypress Mill open; butt I'm votin' for the Duck.

Hey, got plenty of cake and ice cream if those N.G. folks wanna put 'er down on the Boerne platz. Heck, we like 'chopters; specially if Cheryl can ride in the co-chair. She does get a leetle white-knuckled tho; butt try as she might, she couldn't pull that instrument panel off that leetle whirlybird in Alaska - did leave a crease in the bucket seat tho!! :eek:

Thanks for the birfday wish, Bud. Cya sometime soon.

[Dick]

well Happy Birthday Dick! I dont know what all the fuss is about 29 candles dont make that big of a fire now does it?:histerica
Thanks, Floyd!! Come to think of it, I don't recollect it being too big a fire - course that wuz %& years ago!! Butt, just in case, Cheryl put all new batteries in the smoke detectors yestiday!! :rolleyes: Bless her heart! ;) :D

[Shogun54]

Hey Dick, there ain't no truth to the rumor that the EPA has a Global Warming Task Force in the area today is there?

It don't matter, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Well, I'll be danged! I though you stopped hav'n birdays....Butt have a happy anny who. I'm bushed, cant do these marathon weekends like I used to:

For them what cares, this was the ride:

Friday 9/29 B'fast at *$$ at 0530 in Boerne. Others showed and I left at 0645. Stopped off in Bernalillo, NM for dinner and sleep about 1900.

Sat 9/30 Made it to Durango, CO by 0930, attended funeral at 1300 hours, checked on my Colorado property while I was there (about 4'x8'x6' deep).
Back to Bloomfield, NM by 1800 hours, couple cervezas and some left overs from the funeral reception, bed.

Sun 10/1 0645 in route to somewhere's. Stopped in Cuba, NM for church, lunch in Bernalillo (Blake's Lottaburger, NM's answer to In'N'Out burgers). Checked into motel in Lubbock about 1830 (they left the light on for me!)

Mon 10/2 00:01, in route home due to leaking water supply valve and slight flood, unhappy wife. Sceered of forest rats so took my time, arrived in Lakehills at 0730. Off to Lowes to buy new valve, fixed now. And whist I was gone, AC quit working...

Oh, I ended up taking the LT, ran great to and from, 2020 miles rt.

[Dick]

Thanks for them 'happy' wishes Russ. I did stop havin' birfdays, Russ; butt Cheryl is sometimes cruel and loves to rub it in about how it's age before sumpthin'!! And thass ok, cuz I loves to get even in June!! And will!! :cool:

Man, you did have a marathon trip, didn't ya? Glad Phoenix behaved like you wanted; expecially after just bein' worked on and serviced, without a shake-down cruise! Doug and I exchanged the shop manual, butt kept it open just in case you needed rescued!!

Hey, livin' in the country, you gotta expect to be your own plumber, electrician, fixer-upper, HVAC expert, etc --- or at least know some phone numbers!!! Shout if there is anythang you need help with.

Thanks again for the birfday greetin'. Cya soon.

Happy B'day, Dick.
Looks like all the good guys are born in October, but the year doesn't matter :D
Good seeing you on Saturday.
Thanks, Brian. I don't forget the month and date; so I let Cheryl remember the year!! And she does like to remind me ---- often!!! Guess that's the price for marryin' 'em young --- no respect!! :rolleyes: :histerica

Hey, lemme know when you start on your clutch work over at Richard's place. I might be able to swing by and give ya some moral support - or at least be a fetch and go-fer. :D

[Dick]

Happy Birthday Amigo!
Thank ya, Shawn. Heck, them birfdays don't hurt at all; long as I remember to punch the 'reset' button on the bathroom scales!! :eek: :D Dang, that Cheryl is evil!! :rolleyes: AND a blabbermouth!! :D

Hey, you gonna make it to the IMS in Ft. Worth? Drag that Okie from Muskogee down to the show with ya. Gonna be a good time if we can find another pub like the one we went to in Dallas (The Trinity, I think it wuz).

Hope to see ya 'fore the years end, Shawn. And thanks again for the birfday wishes.

[Dick]

Thankee, Jeff. Alwayz good to be called a whipper snapper, cuz I don't reckon most folks know what that is and that'll let me skate for another year!! ;)

Havin' a great day - might even head over to Lone Star someday next week and spend my birfday allowance. I'll ping ya.

Thanks again.

[Dick]

Happy Birthday, Dick! Congrats on making it to the big four-oh ;).
Thanks, Richard - beeg four-oh, huh?!?! I ain't seen that waistband size in many moons!! :histerica

Wuz great to see ya Satiday. Been too long since last meet-up. Glad you got in some play time. If I can remember how to get to your ranch, I just might come by and look over Brian's shoulder when he does his clutch work in a coupla weeks. Hope you'll be in residence. Cya soon.

[munson]

Thanks again, folks. Some Mondays are better'n others and this one is startin' out great. Also, loved my PM notes to wake up to.
A very happy birthday to you my brother!

[Dick]

Remember to put on the SPF -50 before the party.
OH, and don't forget the Silvadene for after the cake.
Thanks, Ed! Everythang wuz cool - alarms didn't go off; didn't need the dark shades for the candle-lighting ceremony; don't need the Silvadene if you have cookies-n-cream *WITH* the cake! 'Nuther story regarding the Dark Porter and a nap, tho!! :sleep:

Cya in Ft. Worth, hopefully. Take care.

[ibbones]

Hola Dick. Mucho happy birthday to ya. I'll get your next cup of coffee!

Ditto, Dick - was great to see you - sorry we didn't get to chat more.

I'll wait until I confirm w/ Brian but based on past conversations I reckon we'll be out here on the 14th destroying, errr, working on his bike ;). Once the date is solid I'll put a post out and get headcount - I'll pony up for some BBQ from Buster's and we'll have us a proper tech session.

Sounds like a winner, but you guys are making me nervous.
Still haven't heard from Chicago BMW about my parts yet, but am still shooting for weekend of 14th.

Happy Birthday Dick. Sorry about the delay, we're on the other side of the world over here. Keep the cake coming, flipper and all. Maybe you can have some crispy creams for desert.
Age has no hold when you're having the time of your life. Enjoy.

Thanks, pard. I kept it low noise! I did manage to talk the city into ignoring my birfday! They were really great about it; said they'll prolly ignore next year's too!!!

BTW - took the opportunity to play with my birfday present this evening. Seems our water restriction program allows me to water 'tween 0300 and 0800 in the morning. I got me a million - yeppir, a million! - of those beneficial nematodes that kill over 250 kinds of insect larvae. Got some wandering felines in the 'hood that are dispensing fleas as they're wanderin', so Bob Webster sez throw down some beneficial nematodes in the yard, water 'em in - once in the fall and once in the spring - and you won't have no fleas. (I'm not sure who's gonna tell them felines to quit wanderin' tho!). Anyways, not everybody gets beneficial nematodes for a birfday present - a MILLION of 'em. Can you believe that?!! :eek: Definitely a first for me!! :rolleyes: I wonder who had to count 'em and package 'em! :confused:

Anyway, thanks again for the birfday wishes. Got me a *$$ card to use next Friday - let's do Leon Springs this week!!
