Happy Birthday Mike!

I'd like to suggest you smash a platter of McDonalds Cheeseburgers... I would ask that I be able to acquire a fragment of your Mc hammer afterwards though :-)

Have a good weekend everyone and Happy Veteran's Day(day late I know) to my fellow Marines and all who have and do serve our great country. Ooh- rah!!
