Birth days, dog days

So this card is how the dear wife honors my 63 years on earth?  And it gets worse...

Like how excited I got because my daughter's beloved new dog George has eyebrows that look sort of like mine!  Growing old is...what?...an adventure?...at least worth a day off.

Happy Birthday Ben,

Don't think for a moment you are an old timer you have lots to contribute. I appreciate your columns and blog, keep up the good work.

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Ben!

Thanks to all, but, sorry, no METS meetings for me; I'm staying over here. Maybe next year.

I've always admired your wife's sense of humor...happy birthday, Ben! (PS: Someone has to keep you humble!)

Congratulations on another year!

Keep up the great reviews, tips, tidbits and occasional pointless barking.

The resemblance is striking. Perhaps you should grow a mustache?

Happy Birthday!

happy Birthday, Ben!

I remember 63 -- that wasn't bad -- in fact it was kinda fun.

Happy Birthday Ben growing old is much better than the alternative. Cheers! You do a great job and I for one look forward to reading up your posts!

We are currently in the middle of a total re-fitting with all new N2k Simrad, NSE and IS20s...AP, AIS, HD radar, Airmar PB200, CS5400 etc...in part due to our reading your reviews and our own in-depth research. Will keep the group posted as this gets installed.

Ben,
On my last birthday I only got one birthday card since all the people I know either died off or lost most of their memory. Now, just look at all the cards, notes and best wishes you have here. You're doing great. Happy Birthday! And, yes, the dog looks just like you.

The dog is better looking ........:)

Happy Birthday Ben.

Will we soon see a review of Garmin's Astro GPS enabled dog tracking system?

Happy Birthday. 63? The older you are the more wisdom you have to impart on others, and I sure hope some more rubs off on me.

Best,
Dan

63 = 21 for the third time around. Take the fourth lap a little slower, because a fifth is a real possibility, and by then marine electronics may be an implant! "Is your Dentist NMEA certified?"
