Well with 21 years working for the state at the ripe old age of 44 I went into work today and retired! For the last 3 years I have worked for a real dbag after my boss of 18 years retired, not being able to hold on any longer I left. So Saturday the wife and I bought a restaurant/bar and im excited but also a bit scared. Of course it isint as cut and dry as that us not being millionaires there is lots of paperwork and licenses and permits and lawyers and so on and so on! Alls I can say is thank god for deferred comp cause that is whats gonna fund this whole venture, and I have no room for failure as that was my retirement. Keep your fingers crossed for me and if I don't stroke out before I get to open for the first night Ill be thankful!

Well that just deserves a huge CONGRATULATIONS!  Best of luck to you and your wife. 
 
 
Where is the business located?
 
 
 
 
 
 

Doesn't sound like retirement - more like more work LOL
GOOD LUCK- sounds great.

Where is this located?    Good luck on this,work hard ,treat your customers right and you'll do fine.

Its called the roadside tavern in west eaton ny. It was a great steakhouse years ago and that is what im bringing back a good steakhouse with some Italian/American cuisine also.

I know you talked about it and must say , I'm jealous !!!! Working for the man sucks ..
Congratulations John !!!
If you start to stroke out , I got tons of pills for that , lol
I wish you and family the BEST of luck in this venture and know for a fact you DO treat people well !!
Now I just need to figure out where Eaton is so I can take the wife out for a good meal & time ..
Right on brother !!!

Like to have live music also. Wonder if Tuna can get his buddy to drive that tour bus to west eaton;)

Good luck man. Hard work to own an establishment, but at least you will be working for a boss you like. Going to work at a job you hate or someone who makes you hate it is a good recipe an unhappy life.

Congrats on your retirement and best wishes for your new venture.  I used to cook in my friends restaurant and later had my own catering business.  I have to come up and do a cameo in the kitchen.  LOL
 

Tuna he is just east of the Finger Lakes, south of Rt. 20.......  ROAD TRIP!!!!
