...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...;)

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!

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 smile

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.

Thanks guys! I cleaned out my locker tonight. Wow did I find some stuff buried, including a draft of my first ever letter to the BTB asking for permission to bring skydiving to Belize, dated 2002.
I'm going to miss driving the back of the hook and ladder for sure.

Hey Rich,

I was writing you a congratulations message minutes after you posted but I was kicked off the computer by my guests - I have no computer; I usually work on the Portofino Guests computer.

Now I want to wish you the best retirement ever - wait, your wife will have to agree with that - but with your plans for Belize and Ambergris Caye that shouldn't be a problem!

Congrats. I fear you may find that your free time is going to diminish quite a bit. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.
