Happy Birthday! I was also born on friday 13th. So I tell everyone that the 13th is lucky for me. Wasn't so lucky for my mom 44 years ago...

Happy Birthday Tony! How often does your birthday land on a Friday? The reason I ask is I was born on February 29th so I only get a real birthday every four years :>( My parents were cool about doing something special on the "odd" years but usually something "happened"...like one time they rented one of those pony rides where you ride around a ring on a pony...but the pony died. It was so sad...a kid would get on and the rest of us had to drag that pony around the ring. *LOL* Just kidding, Tony.
P.S. Don't worry about hitting the big four-oh or your Pony "dying". As Charlie Brown said to Snoopy that time..."Be of good cheer." (Remember?)

Cheer up, the Fire Breathing Dragon has only a year or two before it catches up with you!

All right, everyone sing in 4-part harmony:

Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday, dear TFOB,
Happy Birthday to you.

Congrats, and don't let the FBD get the better of you!

Happy birthday Old Fart! Trust me, life goes on after 40!

I'll always remember my 40th birthday, it's the day I acquired my first Stang, sending me hopelessly spinning down the Stangaholic vortex!

Isn't 40 the age at which you can apply for O.F. status??? Good luck & Happy Birthday Tony - Dickson

PS buy yourself a mustang related present, wrap it up and tell the significant other it's from all the guys on the VMF. You'll deflect all the heat.....

Happy Birthday TFOB. Sorry to hear about the Head Gasket. I'm just a few years behind you...I don't believe in the Friday the 13th thing, but it sure is bad luck for you today eh? At least on the Mustang subject.

Fix it soon!

Happy Birthday! I know you were bummed about the head gasket, but I think I'd take that over what SWMBO did to me on my 40th. She struck a secret deal with my boss and threw a surprise birthday party at work. His part was to get me unsuspecting into the cafeteria. Now I take my birthday off.

I'm 42 and act like I'm going in reverse age-wise.....just ask Mrs. Russ'stang (she's only 33). She's the grownup and all I want to do is play. My Dad's 20 years older than me and he's MUCH WORSE than me! I'm doomed to become more of kid from this point on. Sorry about the head gasket, but this might provide the perfect excuse to put some aftermarket heads, headers, carb, intake, cam, etc......"But honey, I had to take the engine apart ANYWAY and since I was in there......".
