Technically the actual birthday happened over a week ago, but it’s never been an event I care to make a big deal over. Still if neighbors want to bake a cake, you smile and go along with the joke. The singing, I really could have gone without. But I guess I appreciated the thought.
Also, if all goes according to plan and the weather clears I’ll be tearing down the south side of the Lair today, which includes removing the satellite dish, which means…

…until I get it fixed again. Just so you know, if something goes wrong we might be down for a while. This is Joel’s Gulch, where shit happens. Regularly. Even when we don’t let Joel loose with a wrench.

















































Oh dear… well, I’ll check each day just in case. Good luck!
And happy birthday! I told the kids years ago that I didn’t need any more birthdays, but they seem to come around regularly anyway. Nobody bakes me a cake these days, at any rate. LOL
Oh egads. I forgot it was your birthday! Happy belated birthday and come back to TUAK soon.
Happy birthday! And, oh crap on that being out of communication. The day just isn’t right without you and Claire. Guess Claire will have to do double duty for the duration. Or maybe you could just hang the dish on a tree or something.
So can you hang the dish on a tree, or put it on a pipe or a post, or on top of the chicken house. But you probably would have if you could have. Cake is always good. The only better treat might be a stack of your cookies with a candle on top. Happy birthday! and what a good one it is, with the Lair getting the attention it needs.
