Let me eat cake... or not

Aw shucks. I didn't find any chocolate cake on my errands. Just wanted a slice. But due to really cold weather... I cut my errands down by half. So the chances of finding a nice place that sold chocolate cake by slice was pretty much nixed.

But I'll get some sooner or later. No worries. I won't be denied chocolate cake for my birthday... I just won't be eating it on my 43rd birthday.

My birthday adventure consisted of de-icing the door and locks on the pickup. First the locks, then the doors. Everything was iced over. I think that was my first time using de-icer spray. It was an old can, so it didn't really spray so much as it spurted out with little control. But it got the job done.

It is a testiment to the cold temperatures. I miss the 30s. It's like we went from leaf blowing to bone chilling in a weekend.

All-in-all my birthday was rather tame compared to prior years. Peaceful, despite the iced over truck.

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
