Thanks to everyone else for the good wishes!

Agreed, but I say it slightly different...

A year ago last April for me!... Now it's;

Maturday, Taturday, Waturday, Thaturday, Faturday, Saturday, Followed by what use to be Big Paper Day!

Hey, Walter. Are we going to take this sitting down? If so, would you please either bring the extra chair for me as you've done for the last 10 years or else stop at Aaron's and pick up the pair I usually leave behind after the BBQ?

Congrats on your retirement Bruno.

I pulled the plug back in June. Donna and I moved back to Texas. No rain and hot as hell here. I actually sometimes miss the rain we had in Washington, not. Lol

seattle

Congratulations on your retirement as well. What part of Texas did you land in?
I liked the rain, just not everyday .

I bought myself a retirement gift. A Ford Edge Titanium for our DD. It has the V6 non-turbo, 20" wheels and air conditioned seats for the AZ heat. So far we really like it. We plan to do some road trips and it seems to fit the bill perfectly. It is certainly a lot quieter inside than the Z06 which will be good for long road trips. The Z06 will still get plenty of use, just not as our DD.
My Z06 is not sure what to think about having a Ford parked next to it.

We wound up 150 miles west of San Antonio in Del Rio. Have a house out by the lake there.

Hold the phone......you left with no going away party? You bastard!

I don't mind you leaving so much as leaving without a party?! No, this will not stand. But since you chose to do so, the least you can do is send us some money....no, just open a tab for us at Fred's Ale House in Snohomish. We'll have a few drinks to your miserable ***. You'll be missing a hell of a send off!

Cheers and all the best.

PS I need an address....in the event you don't open the tab.

At he risk of further damage to your already low self esteem, how do you know we didn't have a party? I mean, they didn't have a party.

Phil,
Did you notice how long it took Poodle Girl to respond? Ever since she lost her job at Rick's club and started working at the drive thru coffee shack she hasn't had much time for us. The Everett cops must have "bust"ed
her in the shack again.

last901

She probably deserved it. I mean if you were in a clearly marked police car and pulled up to an espresso stand and somebody in a pink bikini and a two-day growth of stubble leaned out the window and asked, "Coffee, Tea, or Me"? wouldn't you feel compelled to take action?



I understand the patrons at Rick's posted her bail.

XC6VETTE

Well, that must be why I missed this supposed going away party....

I was evidently in jail having my own party. My new girlfriends name is Bruno....coincidence?
I think not....

Whaaaaaat?

Wait till Dave hears what you did.

I never would have believed robbing all those 7/11's would have paid off so much. Which explains why you had to move to Arizona. Looks like I'm too late for that reward on Washington's Most Wanted

News flash, Grecian formula is not a disguise!

We will definitely miss you, as Sue fell in love with you from day one. Me too, as you have been instrumental in convincing Sue to buy all those Corvettes. The only problem with that is it will delay my retirement to 2024

Had you retired sooner, I would have saved $250K. It would have been cheaper for me too have given you and Gail $100K and paid for your move.

Gawd we'll miss you

Hi Bruno. Congratulations on the retirement. I see you have already driven off into the sunset. Take care and tell Gail we said hello. Looking forward to seeing you again hopefully our paths cross. Joe

YOU 2 SLO

Wish Gayle and you all the best. I've got another year to go, but looking forward to it.

Again all our best,
Dave & Suzette

Grecian formula might not be but a sun tan seems to be working as a pretty good disguise.

seattle

Thanks Joe. I hope we get another chance to meet and drive somewhere together again. We did have a lot of good times in the past.

seattle

Thanks Dave. You are going to love being retired. Everything is on your schedule and afternoon naps are allowed. Actually they're required.
Tell Suzette hello and give Geno my best.

...and well done!
