...Thursday at 7AM after 31 years of getting cats out of trees.
I'm trading in my axe for a parachute.
Thanks for lots of fun reading this board and chatting with everyone on slow nights.
Kristine will have to start waking up much quieter in the mornings for work and getting the ankle biters off to school.
San Pedro is getting closer...;)

Congrats Reaper! Chunk and I are in our 5th year of retirement and highly recommend it. Enjoy every minute, time really does fly when you're having fun...

Congrats, Reaper and (((((hugs))))). You will make good use of your time I know, enjoy.

A special thank you for keeping your community a safer place for these past 31 years. Another thanks for all the positive contributions you have made to San Pedro.
Never could understand why someone would jump out of a perfectly functioning airplane - but happy skies to you!

You can't possibly be retirement age!!!!

What about the cats?!? Is no one thinking about the plight of the poor treed cats?!? But wait! Does this mean you'll spend more time here, hanging out with us all? Okay then, cats be damned!

Soft landings, reaper and big, big hugs

Yer gonna like it !

Congrats my friend!! I know you're gonna luv it! My Spurs hat is off to you for all that you have done for the community during your 31 years. I'm just glad that you made it to your retirement in one piece! Hope to see you soon in that place we all love.

and a big WOO HOO from us!!

Congrats, big guy! You've dedicated much of your adult life to serving mankind and just because you are now cashing in on CALPERS, do not try to make us believe you will still not be serving. We know better. Some of it will just be in a different way..........but take a well earned respite, smell the roses first.
