HAPPY BIRTHDAY ED.
Here in Aurora a couple of old farts (no names, hint, hint) are going to stay at home snuggling by the fire and watch some old movies and go to bed early.

Thank guys!

I work Sat. and Sun. so no heavy drinking for me, but please, as Joe pointed out, we want to see you all in 2006, so if you go partying, please have a designated driver...
And stop, look, listen and live at all railroad crossings!

Happy New Years to all of you!

Ed

Ed - Happy Birthday from the cold wilds of northern New York.

And I'll second his comments on partying smart, partly from a personal perspective - I don't want to be pulling any of you (however virtually) out of your wrecked cars early New Years morning. Not a fun way to start 2006.

Missed it...
But one of our carmen has a Crossfire, with the twin turbo 6 cly...that thing is scary!
0 to 60 is really fast, and 60 to 140 is even quicker.
But its a small car, no room in back for the kids, junk and stuff.
Will look at our local listings and see if the Speed Channel is shown here...

Happy birthday, compadre!

This may be the only chance I have to say it, as I also have to work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We also have to deliver daughter and son-in-law to airport very early Sunday morning. It's sparkling grape juice over here--and I'll hoist one of those to you!

Best wishes on the new year--yours and everyone's!

Once again, Happy Birthday Ed!!

I don't think I'll be doing much either..... If anything, I'll head down to my favorite pizza place (besides the Diner) and have a pizza and two or three drinks (that's about all I can take anymore, I don't feel right when I get really plastered). I'll probably be back home about ten, maybe later if Pizzeria Uno's stays open late.

Have a great New Year's, everyone.

Randy

[bday], ED! I will mirror the sentiments of others here and state that, of all the forum members I've come to know here, your contributions rank you as #1 in my book.

We've been lucky enough to get invited to a 40th anniversary open house being held tonight by a couple from our church choir, so we're looking forward to a great evening surrounded by friends. Cheers, everyone, and wishing you a blessed New Year in 2006.
