Rather Bitter, Sweet Day today!
« on: May 04, 2007 - 11:28:23 PM »
Officially, I had my retirement ceremony. It was a good ceremony, I told all to keep it informal, as that is how I am. I got my MSM, Retirement Certificate, awards, blah, blah, blah....All Good Stuff! I asked for one thing....as I was a SAC Trained Killer when I was active duty Air Force and worked with the RC-135 program, I asked to have a US flag flown on one of the jets that I had worked on as a active duty weenie. It was done as well as having the Alaska flag flown on one of our KC-135R model jets. I heard that the pics of them flying the flag on the jets are coming my way as well....Too friggin cool! One of my buddies that I work with, made a shadow box to fit both flags and made it out of Birch Wood cut here in the state.

Then....

We officially closed the deal on our house. It now officially belongs to someone else as of Monday....it was weird coming "home" to a house that aint ours....STRANGE FEELING! We will get to stay in it for a while yet though....as per our agreement with the buyer.
