Well, I got the part time job I applied for last week. I start training tomorrow morning.

LOL, mine too. Dark Hollow was downtown club below the street level. a real dark hollow and a favorite night spot for many of the guys at Maxwell & Gunter. The band played there, but also at the NCO clubs at both bases, and other places around Monkey town. (Those were my pre-committed Christian days & I mostly try to forget them). Great to “touch base” with someone who was in the same place at the same time. I find it to be a small world.

... downtown club below the street level ...

Sounds a lot like a place called "Quinn's" or something like that. It was an after hours club, everyone had to register on the way in, and no one used their real name. I was probably known to them as just another "John Smith".

Peeking in.....got out my iPad to see the pic....too funny.

I am swamped!! One of our number is on vacation and we are scrambling. Have a good rest of Tuesday.

Congrats!

Hope this is fun for you...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cool! And congratulations!

[Arrowhead1952]

Thanks. It is a POA park and facility ranger job. I think I’ll really like to do that type of work and meet more of the local folks.

Good afternoon, tom....Cubbies need help?

[luvie]

That is awesome news, Arrow! Go get ‘em! I know you’ll be an asset to the company!

[Arrowhead1952]

Thanks. I start training tomorrow. Just enough for some extra spending money, but it’s a job for now.

[luvie]

That’s basically why I work because I only get 20-25 hours a week. It keeps me “in the loop” as it were! :)

You’ll do good!

Hi, Ma!

I went to Gunter for training in TAS (Tool Accountability System). A computerized system of assigned ID numbers and bar codes creating basically a $10.000 Clip Board to allocation and recovery for tools, kits, small parts and hardware.

The Kids are doing well. One of the three Midnight Kittens from late last year has a roly-poly, tawny, black striped kitten of her own now. The back yard is fairly free of moles and moles and other rodents.

[WVNan]

No, not Quinns. I can’t recall the street it was on (30+years), but there was no registering at the Dark Hollow. Our bouncer was a Montgomery Policeman and two members of the band were also cops. The place behaved itself. Saw the bouncer haul many a drunk up the stairs across his shoulder. He would lay them down on the sidewalk outside the door, LOL. Inside the club was all black with luminus glowing hillbilly characters painted on the walls. We did some serious Bluegrass down there. Lots of redneck hoopin and hollerin.
