Lon,

Happy Birhtday my friend, you are a lucky man to have such a wonderful lady like Lynne by your side! You know it's a shame that you will not be able to drive that truck............ I heard that Down Under, they take your drivers licence away when you reach YOUR OLD AGE! ( Older than DIRT that is!)

Have a good one anyways my friend!

Rob

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Hi Gary

Regards

Lynne
