And then telling everyone that we are f'ed up because most people had other plans they couldn't get out of last minute is not conducive to having people show up next time.
It was our 1st anniversary yesterday and we were in VT relaxing and then driving through the thunderstorms through NY. Besides, since we had minimal cell service and no cable/internet where we stayed (a cabin near Mt Snow a coworker of mine owns), we had no idea about it.

Believe it or not, but I am a pretty open minded person. But past track records have shut my mind to this, other than sticking to my guns about people being f'd up. I have had many get togethers in the past, and have given weeks, and sometimes months, advance notice. And I always got a lot of lip service and false promises about people who were going to be there. And of course the people didn't show up. I pretty much stopped having monthly meets for unstablebobgable.com, because it was pretty much just a waste of my time due to lack of support. My core guys that would show up were my local buddies who I see on a regular basis anyways. There are over 1600 members on this board, and if you cut to the chase only ONE showed up yesterday. And that was Kirk. [Number 2].
One outa 1600 ain't very good statistics. I'm not counting Fat Brain [BlkbrdWS6], because he is my right hand man and is there for me 24-7, and not just to party. So, add in one of my AMC guys, and a guy who stopped in off the street. And there is the big four. So, sorry, but I'm not impressed with the numbers. I guess I'm just trying to relive the glory days when there would be a buncha beer, a buncha guys turning wrenches and helping each other out, rock and roll blasting, and people not being so f'd up.
