Be there or be square

Fire Department retirement party. As you know, I am retiring from the Redway Fire Department. 

Really? A quarter page ad???
  I stopped at the Redway fire hall the other day, just to say hello, and find out if they wanted anything from me for my fire-retirement party, the crew was on an emergency medical run. When they came back to the hall I got a chance to talk to Richard Rotbergs and Brian Harper. Brian said that if I wanted someone special to be there that I should invite them. I told Brian that the whole community was special to me and that I wasn't sure that they could feed them all. I also said that I thought that everybody was supposed to call Pat Dowd to R.S.V.P. (923-2579.) He said that there will be PLENTY of food... tri-tip steak, with fixin's. So they should just come, everybody will get fed, it would just be nice to call Pat. I also know that there will be plenty of beer. I'm bringing my Guinness tapper and the fire department tapper will have Sierra Nevada and a sissy beer for the lightweights. They will even have bottled water.

The party will be from 4:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. The 9:00 P.M. thing will be pretty firm, after all they crew will have to clean up and make it back into a fire hall when we are through partying.

The band "Twango Macallan", who has become the official "Redway Fire Department Band", will be there. I can't say enough good things about this band. They not only play for us at the Barbecues, but they entertain the patients at the hospital, the people at the farmers market, and other worthy community happenings. I understand that they even like getting a paid gig periodically.

So, it sounds like a fun time and EVERYBODY is welcome. Now you've been told. So, be there!
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 4:00-9:00 P.M. At The Redway fire hall, 155 Empire Avenue. Behind Shop Smart, in Redway.
 R.S.V.P Pat Dowd at 923-2579 or just show up, I would.

Sorry I couldn't be there Ernie for the retirement. I was wondering though, did you retire from your blog too?

Okay, Okay... The party was great.

The store has 9 computers on line, they are all in use. My office computer is not part of the POS system. (Point Of Sale) But, when one fails, my computer moves into the dead spot, which leaves me out of the computer business. To blog, I have a tablet at home, and I have an Android cell phone. However, they are a pain to blog with.

We had a computer fail, my computer is filling in. Janis is in Fort Worth at the Fall Buying Convention. (required attendance as a Radio Shack dealer)When she gets back we will deal with a computer system upgrade. I'm putting in for a Cray super-computer.

If any of you remember the movie "2001", my computer and I get along about like Dave and his computer.

Should be back soon.... 'Til then
