.270 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 well, the average IQ o' this place is gonna take a big hit. probly like 60 points or so. i signed all the papers and am retirin' july 10. a couple days after my 55th birthday. i don't know what you guys are gonna do for sage advice from now on. we all know i'm the smartest guy any of ya know. i guess it really ain't fair, to be so smart, tall, strong, good lookin' and witty. i can run fast and jump real high too. but what i can i do? ya can't give it back. anyway, struggle along as best as you can without my shinin' beacon of intelligence showin' ya the way. i'll try to check back in on occasion, but i have so much planned now that i don't see me around a computer much until after the new year. fishin' in 'lasky for a few weeks, 3 elk hunts in Az, a primo new mex deer hunt, colorado pronghorn, Az. deer. heck, i don't know how i ever had time to have a job. i'll probly finally get a sheep tag too, just to round out the year. well, remember these things: the sun always comes up in the east and sets in the west. even in aj. wolves taste pretty good. go real well with condor. 7mm/08's are for wimmin' and guys that should be wimmin. bullwidgeon really does look like a javelina. the resemblance is spooky. global warming is a farce and was only invented to take your money. obama is a farce and was only invented to take your money. coues deer are like the circus midget of the deer family, funny to watch, but they're just there to make you laugh while they get the real show back in the ring. the usfw does not have anyone or anythings best interest in mind, other than more power, authority and control for them. don't ever let up on the azgfd. they have some good guys but they are still politically and monetarily driven and need to be reminded constantly that wildlife conservation is their real job. if you voted for obama, slug yourself in the mouth everyday. remember that when uso sued Az., sci lined up with them. (just an illustration that you need to really look hard at where you put your money and who's interests do they really have in mind) shoot every coyote and lion you see. there will always be too many of em. they're too sneaky for hunters to ever put a big dent in their population. save as much money as you can, which ain't east to do, especially these days. don't fight amongst each other, other than good constructive discussion that has real value. the .270 is a gift from heaven. and i'm always right. later dudes.

billrquimby Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Congratulations on your retirement, Lark. You obviously are much more intelligent than I, because I waited until I was 63 before I walked away from regular employment. You'll find that retirement is the best time of your life, so enjoy it.

Ernesto C Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Lark, my hat off for you and all your wisdom. We are going to miss you. Have fun and dont worry about bullwidgeon......we'll take care of him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameHauler Report post Posted June 17, 2009 He'll be back. They always come back. Good Luck Lark. Yea I suspect you are right but at least there will not be as many people mislead into thinking a 270cal is a good round for anything except Wolves and Condors. (Don't forget Spotted Owls Too) But what do you expect from a guy that uses a bent barreled 30-30 for Javelina, was dumb enough to buy his wife a pair of shoes and thinks the only creature with a higher IQ than him is a Mule. Congratulations Lark and enjoy your retirement Sincerely, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KGAINES Report post Posted June 20, 2009 Congrats on the retirement Lark. Did you retire from all your side jobs as well, the women of Sun City won't know what to do without Lark's male stripper services. Take care Lark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arizona Griz Report post Posted June 21, 2009 SRP must have been good to you. I just missed you at the office the other day. I told Gunnar that you can now spend time chasing Condors and Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted June 21, 2009 congratulations on the early retirement Lark. AZ and US economy is going to find it hard to fill in their cut of your 4.5 million a year. Taxes are going to be going up before long with our new leadership so they won't get none from you. IMHO 55 is not early, but you are getting out just in time.
