I am a "night person" who is trapped in a daylight world. My sleep patterns are completely out of whack with the other 7,200,000,000 people in this world, Likely I should have been born in China, but I wasn't.

So I was not terribly impressed when a little bird sat in the bush right outside my window and started singing loud enough to FORCE me to wake up.

But the bird was not singing regular "Cheep-cheeps" or whatever. It was singing a song...... in Swedish.

A language which I do not know.

With the aid of an Old Norse dictionary and the tiny amount of Danish which I do remember, I worked out the message.

WHO do we know who likely knows more about Svedish Mausers than Carl Gustaf himself?

BUFFDOG.

And today is his Birthday.

That's what the little bird was singing about.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Buffdog!

I do hope that somebody here can say it in Swedish!
 
Happy B-Day Buffdog!

I'll have to post up my "new to me" Swedish Carl Gustaf's M96 from 1899 in a very nice tiger striped stock for you to tell me about!

Cheers,

Ian
 
Happy Bday Buffdog.

That story Smellie reminds me of my grampa. Gdam woodpecker used to wake him up in the morning. Would peck on the tin/gutter in the wee hours. Didnt last long. Put the 410 thru the open window and boom. No more problem. Of course when youre 80 the hunting regs dont apply.
 
Had a similar problem with a crow on top of the silo one morning years ago when working night shift. Leaned against the side of the door and blew it off with my Remington 870. Took a chip out of the forend which annoyed me no end and I had to repair. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUFFDOG! Are you still hanging out in S. ON?
 
Janice is up at Two Creeks right now: no Internet until she raises the money (later this summer).

She sez to tell you a Very Happy Birthday for her.

And I am to tell you that Doofus squinched her eyes and flipped her tail for you. Better than how she treats me, anyway!
