Baller oldmanskier Posted May 31, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 31, 2021 After working full time for 47 years I am retiring. My last day at work is tomorrow June 1. My wife is going to work another year so I guess I will be considered a kept man. My main ski partner retired in January and we plan on skiing a lot this summer. The main reason for this post is now I have time to spare. If any of you Ballofspray people happen to travel thru the Chattanooga TN area and would like to get a pull at No Wake lake, contact me a day of two before you are coming thru and I will gladly give you a pull at No Wake. Only requirement you have to sign a Liability Waver. My e-mail is tomjsmothers@aol.com. I check it daily. Tom Smothers (oldmanskier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
