General Cycling Discussion - Happy Birthday JonR

If tomorrow is as gorgeous as today was I'll be out riding, so I wanted to be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday.
Hope your day is as awesome as ours is supposed to be. :thumbup:

Gee, 62! Now you can start collecting some of your hard-earned Social Security benefits. ;)
No sense in letting Uncle Sam keep it all!

Happy B'day Jon! :fun: You couldn't ask for better weather! Hope you get a ride in.:beer:

Happy B-day!!

Happy Birthday, Jon!!! :fun:

It's going to be a great day out there, so you make sure you go for a ride down to the Market (isn't that where you eat lunch?)

Yesterdays high in Iowa City was 62 degrees. That is 30 degrees above normal. I know it can only be nicer in Kansas City, so you have yourself a great time, Jon.

Happy Birthday Jon!

Treat yourself to a great day.

Waytago! And it's on a weekend, to boot! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

:bday: :fun:

Enjoy!

Indeed! Happy B'day, JonR. And a long overdue welcome back from your Bikeforums hiatus!

Happy Birthday, Jon! We're at the age where we might as well enjoy them, after all, consider the alternative. Have a great day!

Opps,

Sorry I missed this Jon! Hope you had a good un, and many many more to come!!!!

Rich :beer:

Happy (belated) Birthday Jon!!!

(I will be late for my own funeral!)

Many blessings on this year for you.

:beer:

Thanks, everybody. My birthday kinda came and went unnoticed except for you all and a couple of others. But in a true spirit of belatedness I betook myself to the grocery store just now and purchased a PINEAPPLE-ORANGE cake and SEVENTY-TWO little candles (blue and white) (there will be ten left over) and some CAKE DECORATING GEL (red!) and tomorrow (to be consistently belated) I intend to observe my day properly, if I can figure out a safe environment for that many flames.

As for Social Security, it can't come a moment too soon. The first payment is supposed to be direct-deposited on March 28.

Got to get back to riding more this year. I don't guess I'd better make a birthday resolution any more than a New Year's one, but that would be a good one if I did make them.

Anyway, thanks again! :beer:

Enjoy your day Jon. And keep the fire extinguisher handy!:D
I'd ask for a piece of cake, but I'm trying to drop a few lbs. My family's making me take them to the beach this summer and I don't want to look like a tub-o'-goo. :eek:

Happy Day-After-Your Birthday Jon!
(Wow...just an hour left before Two-Days-After-Your Birthday! I am really getting this in by the skin of my teeth (whatever that means)! At least we're in the same time zone...)

Best wishes on your birthday (yesterday), the day I got around to acknowledging it (today), and the day you plan to observe it (tomorrow)!
(Hmm...three days with one 'wish for the best'. Is that allowed? :rolleyes:)

Good advice, DG. I called it quits after lighting twelve candles: see below:

Word to the wise(r): if you insist on that many candles, start lighting them from the inside.
Cake sure is tasty, though.:D

Happy Birthday, Jon R.

With my birthday, 26 August, I never know whether cyclists are celebrating for me or (I suspect) for the late Tullio Campagnolo.

I 'ope you 'ad yerself real shin dig JonR.

Hey Jon, that might take care of your heating problem! Just light that cake up every once in a while!:D

Happy Birthday, Jon, belatedly, as I've been out of town for a few days. But enough excuses, have a good one.:bday: :fun:

Just saw that cake, WOW!

:thumbup:

Jon, you are a real friend! :)

Great looking cake, Jon! I don't think you ever had a chance with 62 candles. :p I am sure the first lit would have burned out long before the last one was lit.

Did you save me a piece? I'd like a scoop of vanilla on the side, too.

Steele-Bike, somewhere in there is a metaphor of my life. :cry:
