		 Happy Birthday!  Take some time to enjoy your day, Don!  Then get back to making plugs.  The fall run is right around the corner.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind.  Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

		No way! Don is 54?   He looks a lot younger than that! I would never have guessed.
 
Anyway, here's a happy birthday wish to a hell of a plugmaker and all around good guy!  
May 54 be the number the scale goes to when you weigh up the next cow at Cutty!
