Anyone else with a cancelled Tidal subscription get this? Saw a payment to Tidal via PayPal of $19.99 @ 02:05:05 PST, this morning ... Thought, I don't remember doing that, and I wasn't even awake then ...

It starts with

Hung a mirror for SHMBO, with reasonable degree of success.

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes. I had a pleasant relaxing day, and the NorCal weather cooperated by stopping raining and letting the sun shine for a while. Beats the current freeze, in the UK, according to my mother. The day was curiously Bacon / Squirrel / Ice Cream free, but I have all weekend to rectify the matter, (and intend to do so!) Cheers, Y'All,

Birthday Fish & Chips!

Happy Birthday's Chap's. I can only imagine Frank's Cake given his amps.
