Dang old goat made it another year.

Happy Birthday Buddy.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Got a funny story about Catmandoo, but I have to wait a bit to let it loose.

Have a great B-day!


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Happy Birthday, little brother. Hope you have a great day.

So Ken's wife, Lynda, has an idea to get a PB T-shirt and Hat signed by as many as we could for Ken's birthday, as a surprise.

I got a bunch of signatures and then left the hat & shirt in the Mod Booth.

Several times, over two days, Ken was sitting right next to the hat and shirt.

On Saturday, I went up to Kan and said we were all signing a hat to give to Lusk, and would Ken "sign for Lusk."

So, Ken says yes, and proceeds to sign "Bob Lusk" on his own hat!

I told him that was not what we were looking for, and to sign his own name, so he proceeded to write "Catmandoo" on it, not knowing the hat was for him.

It was truly great to see Catmandoo and Lynda again at the Conference. If you haven't met these two great people - do it at your first opportunity. Happy Happy Birthday Ken!!!!!!!!!

Ken and Lynda, it was great seeing you again. Ken, Happy Birthday!

Ken, I asked about your room number because Sunil wanted to have Lynda sign the hat and shirt without you seeing it. She was there while you were at the conference.

Happy birthday, Ken, You are entering a new phase of life. At least you don't have to worry about calling your urologist about a problem lasting over 4 hours. Come see me when you can. 103 crappie this weekend.

Oooh boy! Where do I start?

We are at our son's and DIL's home in Edmond, OK today. Lynda brought out a wrapped box for me at breakfast this morning. We had agreed that I wasn't supposed to get anything this day, as I'd gotten a new laptop just before heading to PB-V.

What a surprise to open the box -- especially, to see the hat! I'm certainly glad I'm somebody who can laugh at himself. This was quite a moment. (If you didn't see Sunil's post above, read it and you'll understand.)

It is just one more thing to make me really appreciate my Pond Boss friends. When I look at the names on the hat and shirt, it really makes me feel like a king -- actually better! You are real true friends. To have this happen in conjunction with PB-V is priceless.



And -- I didn't join the nudist colony!

Thanks all.
Ken

Happy Birthday Ken. I just laughed so loudly at the thought of you signing your own shirt I scared the dog sleeping under my desk. What a crew.

While I'm new around here I love to read what you have to say and most times I learn a thing or two.

With that said hope you had a happy birthday from the far side of the world.
