Happy birthday, Dad

The ol' man would have been 79 today. WOW! He would have never believed the computing power packed into Emilyn's Nintendo DS. Or the sound coming out of Steve's iPod dock. And I bet he would have found a way to mute Allen's leaf blower.

Caurie's birthday is tomorrow (Happy-happy, Caur!), and that means it's officially the end of Christmas. So, enjoy the music and lights for one more day. (It's easy to pack away the holiday trappings on the blog. Not so easy at my house!)

duct tape, put duct tape over the noise opening and it will mute it.
the more layers the quieter it gets! It may not have the elegance of one of Dad's soloutions, but down and dirty works too.
If you put invisible cellophane over the phone people think their phone is broken....he he he he very amusing, at the office anyway.
Happy 79th Dad!
Happy 32nd Caroline!
Happy 26th Caurie!

I did use a clear packing tape over the sound opening of another of Allen's toys... But that was a flat surface. I don't know how it'll work on a cylinder. We'll see!
