Have a nice day.

As to be included on this day in history I need to know in advance of posting to include members
Of the ones I have mentioned they all posted the day/s before their birthday or anniversaries
If I see them posted in tractor talk or tales I'll include them on my post
I don't know if YT lists members b-days or where to find them if they do
Hope you had a great day and thanks for reading
