Happy Birthday to the legend - Montana Owners Club

Just realized that today is SRiegle's birthday. So Happy Birthday to the MOC Legend. Many More.

Thank you, Ron and Thelma. I guess being '39' again is better than the alternative, huh?

Note, today is also the birthday of --

Mike and Wendy,
Rick,
Chuck Pelley,
and dale.

Happy Birthday to all you folks, too!

Here is a belated happy birthday, Steve. You and my wife almost share the same day; hers is Feb. 28!

sreigle · 03-06-2005, 05:09 AM

Thank you!

Happy birthday Steve and everyone else.

Happy belated birthday. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to youuuuu! From Dusty and Don

I check the active topics first thing every morning but somehow I missed this one.

Happy Belated Birthday Steve

sreigle · 03-07-2005, 01:28 PM

Thanks to all of you. I do the same thing, Glenn. First thing I do is hit active topics, so I don't see the birthdays unless I go back to All Forums. I know I'm probably missing some birthdays.

Steve,

I hate to rain on your parade, but you said "39". Are you sure? I think you need to check you driver's license. Or better yet, check with Vickie, she will probably be a bit more accurate. Just don't want you to come across a delusional. You must continue to set a good example.

I thought you were 49.

sreigle · 03-09-2005, 12:30 PM

I might even take 49, Fla Native! Awhile back we had a similar thread about ages and got off into hexadecimal notation. In hex I, at that time was 39. But with birthday I'm 3A in hex! Yep, 3A.

Parrothead · 03-09-2005, 05:24 PM

Steve,
You never did give us that refresher course in hex.

stiles watson · 03-09-2005, 06:45 PM

Steve,

I am going to do the same thing with your birthday as I do with mine. Ignore it!! Got my first Social Security check in February. Won't ignore that.

Well, ok, happy birthday anyway.

Parrothead · 03-09-2005, 07:49 PM

Congrats Stiles. Ed got his first one in February also. Now he is official.

DiananColin · 03-10-2005, 11:51 AM

It is a special feeling to get the first HUGE check from the Govt - up here we get 2 cheques but I cheat -having dual citizenship I get Social Security cheques from Canada AND England - total THREE! I'm not proud - I'll take handouts from any Govt agency willing to cough up a few $$$$! I do appreciate the age problem - I justify by saying that as I was born in '39 I will stay 39 for ever! (So my daughter is 40 - that's her problem not mine)

Happy belated birthday Steve - you still have a few years to catch up!

Glenn and Lorraine · 03-11-2005, 01:02 PM

This Monday, the 14th, I will officially be retired and officially collecting social security but I gotta wait until May 18th to get that first official check.

After this B-day there will be no need for any further B-days.

Charlie · 03-11-2005, 02:45 PM

Glenn
Congrats on the retirement. You will find this is the best job you ever had. Know what you mean about the two month delay on the SS check. I told my wife when I pass into the great campground in the sky not to notify SSA for two months....oh shucks, they will probably know before it happens.

Steve, I didn't manage to get back here for a couple of weeks and missed this topic.

A belated happy birthday from Bill and Jeanne.

vickster · 03-15-2005, 12:33 PM

Belated happy birthday Steve! Hope you had a great day and that Vicki made you an extra special dinner!!!

sreigle · 04-08-2005, 06:23 PM

Thank you all. Vickster, we went out to dinner. No dishes for me to do that way!

Parrothead, decimal has 10 possible numbers in each position, 0 thru 9 (0123456789). Hexidecimal has 16 possible in each position, 0 thru F (0123456789ABCDEF). In decimal, each position's value is 10 times the prior positions value. In the number 625, the 5 is 5x1=5. The 2 is 2x10=20. the 6 is 6x100=600. Total is 625 decimal. In hex, each position is 16 times the prior position. In 625, the 5 is 5x1=5. The 2 is 2x16=32, the 6 is 6x256=1536. Total 1573 decimal. So 625 hex is the equivalent of 1573 in decimal. For computers, a number can be stored in hexidecimal in fewer positions. That means lower hardware cost for the computer. Clear as mud, huh?

Parrothead · 04-09-2005, 05:36 PM

Yes, but now some of it is coming back. By the way did you know that the calculator on WindowsXP has a option for looking up any number in hex, binary or octal. I just found this out. I don't normally use the calculator since I'm an Excel guru I use it for any math calculations. I also several months ago found that Word has a translator. It really surprised me as I've used both of these programs for several years without knowing about these enhancements.
