A Day in Phoenix

[Ngtflyr]

August issue of Money magazine issue has the annual "Best Places to Live". I was surprised to see that Scottsdale was ranked #7, and Gilbert #16. For cities over 300,000 Mesa was ranked 3rd. As long as you can make it thru the summers, the winters are well worth it. That's why I'm moving back in less than a year when I retire! Bruce I need to look you up when I am back in town again, I would like to get a look at some of those shops. I plan on building one when I get back.

Dave...just let me know when you're coming back. I'll do the rest.

Maybe I can get that Sam Griffith guy to come along?

[Ngtflyr]

He's got a new job keeping him busy that's why there are no posts from him the last week or so.

[Xplantdad]

New job...he's supposed to be retired!

[Bill Pritchard]

Might be like my sister-in-law's husband.....he retired from the Army and shortly afterward got the same job he did the last few yrs in the Army, only as a civilian. He now has a couple more years to go and he can retire from that as a civilian and get that pension, too

[Ngtflyr]

Retirement pay from the military is nice and you get to do it after 20, or 24 yrs in my case. But when you have a kid starting college this year and another one following in three years it's not enough. So between college kids, muscle car addiction and in my case and ex-wife to support an additional job is a unfortunate necessity. Sam is in the same situation minus the ex wife. Next year when I retire I am starting my next career, getting back to flying, I tentatively have something lined up already. I am looking forward to it, this sitting at a desk every day sucks.

I hear ya Dave...I was just bustin' his chops a bit. Sam's a great guy. I'm looking forward to meeting you, too.
