Happy birthday. This is late, and you still fix the thing and then pretend it was nothing. I hope the year brings you a problem that is not yours to carry.
Belated birthday wishes for Dad
Say the day got past you, name one reliability, and wish him an easy remainder of the week. Send a late dad note in a short plain voice, with one repair-level thanks and no speech. Dad heartfelt is on time and quiet. This is also quiet, but it names the miss. Do not over-explain the calendar.
