Retired Flip Wing Pilot

[cap]

We've met eons ago ken, but I can't remember where and I'm sure that you've said that before yourself to others. Just make sure that you STAY retired because YOU may want to be retired, but SOMETIMES others don't want you to be and the phone rings with a " how about doing a little one 2 week job for us just to fill-in because we need the experience and know you can do the job". So train the wife to answer the phone and say "he ain't here. I killed him and ate him, so you're outta luck....sorry 'bout that" . Look-out too because a lotta retired guys are busier AFTER they retire than they were during their whole career.

Congratulations and Happy Retirement, Ken and Missus W!

 

SO happy for you both! I have no doubt that that was not an easy decision! All best wishes for the success of your new B & B! With hopes, too, that the characters who visit your fine establishment are atleast one-half as colorful as those you've worked with!

 

And don't be a stranger; you've much great insight and experience to pass along to these guys and gals! Happy Trails to you both, 204B! :up: -TQN/Mj from Old Denver

Congrats on retirement

 

I am sure with you pension and all the benefits for that 30 years of dedicated service, you will be able to retire with little difficulty and enjoy retirement.

 

Good show.

 

Cheers

All the best,

 

Cap pretty much summed it up with his post. Enjoy the good life. Hang onto a jar of Jet A so if you get lonely for the job you can dab a little on your wrists to remind you of it.

 

Next time we pass through, hopefully soon, we will divert up to see you in New Denver.

Good on ya Ken! Me and the better half and my new Hog are going to include your place in our road trip this year. Can I park my Harley in my room?

[hurler]

Can I park my moped! I only have a small probiscus so I can't drive a Harley!

Ken:

 

Way to go!! A pub and a place to sleep!! That's living the fine life!! :up:

 

Sorry I didn't get a chance to get together with you and tip a couple of Giggly Pops when i was out in kelowna, a couple of years back.

 

I'm assumming that you Missus used to work at the facility I was visiting in Kelowna at the time? Genie Lift? Must be all of 90 lbs soaking wet!!

 

Since I'm about to be looking for something to do in the next couple of months, you wouldn't be looking for an official Brewski taster there would ya? I don't need to kknow righ away, if everything goes right here, I'll be working for the Calgary Salvation Army Temperance League. I applied for the job of "Bad Example."

 

All the best to you Ken. Hope the business is good for you and the Missus, y'all stay healthy, happy and live a long, long time! :up:

 

Don't be shy, hang around here, there's always something entertaining going on!!

To top it al off if you really get the itch, Precision is always looking for old timers to pick up the odd 2n2 in th patch so I am told.

 

Just in case!

Sounds like you've got a good spot and a great partner.

Best of luck!
