My buddy and I celebrate 148 years of age

My birthday was on 29th June and Frank's birthday is today, Sunday 14th July so Anna suggested a combined celebration which amounted to 148 years of age. It was appropriate that we celebrate together too because we go back a long way, we have done many rallies together, gotten drunk together and partied together - him usually more of a party animal than me!

We arrived at the Phoenix bar just after 16h00, a few people there but more arrived later on with people popping in to have a couple of drinks and as they left others arrived and so on. I think that at any one time there were about thirty people there.

Our own local DJ Splinter, Henrico also a member of the Meeulanders had his mobile set up there and provided his usual compilation of good biker music and the bar did a roaring trade with the odd shooters coming our way, luckily not Tequila!

By this time Eduardo and some of the members of the Gypsy Jokers were busy getting a fire going and pulling coals out for the chicken potjie, it was pretty cold by then too so people gathered there.

The pot was ready around 20h00 and it was really good, it went down a treat lining the stomach against the alcohol being consumed, after that the delicious chocolate cake making a rather sumptuous meal.

 Janet with Alex, Pres of the Mohicans chapter, Janet has always had a bit of a soft spot for this tough biker, thinks he's good looking.

Frank and Alex, he's a good man and we've done many rallies and dayjols in the Mohicans' company, on one occasion Alex assigned his prospects to look after me at the Beaver rally for reasons that I will not go into here! Suffice it to say that I was "under the weather".

Thanks for a great party Anna. She's a lovely, caring lady and we love her to bits but let me warn you; do not get on the wrong side of her or you'll know all about it.
There will be more pictures to follow as others post theirs, I will borrow them for you. A big thank you to all involved and to those who popped in for a visit, a memorable occasion indeed.
