Been keeping quiet for a few days now observing where this is going. I do like the idea of the "X" as it was kinda what we were doing already anyway as far as splitting up the group. Perfect example was Gulches. So it really just kinda puts a name to what we already do anyway.
I don't want to sound like a 1/2 ass, but personally I don't care 1 way or the other about this CORE X thing much less being "selected" for it. 3 reasons:
1) I don't need a tag under my screen name to completely enjoy every bit of our rides. Or hanging' the friends I have here. I'm going to continue to do what I'm doing, that is to continue to build, continue to wheel, continue to develop skills, and continue to make Kent and Pops laugh their asses off with David around the fire talking about Goats. </LMAO/>
2) I have already proved myself to, hell 90% of the club that I am a very capable driver, with a vary capable rig even if slightly less built than others. And I don't need no little X title to make it so. If the guys want me to lead, I'll lead. If someone needs a spot, I'll spot. Someone needs a little tug, I'll tug. I don't mind doing any of that for anyone. It's all part of wheeln' IMO. Just like getting the rig muddy. Sure I hate having to clean it off, but if I let mud keep me from wheeln' well.... LOL you know.
3) Finally, truth be told, I know I'm not going to be around for ever. Given the nature of my job, I'm most likely going to be leaving in a few years anyway. That said, my ultimate goal is to leave this club better than I found it. Because this club will be leaving me better than when I first got here. And you all better believe that even though I'll be somewhere else, I WILL stay in touch. Depending on where I end up, I mite even host a GATR ride for you guys or something once a year. But that's way down the road and I don't like to think that far ahead. That's my wife's job. ;D
Bottom line is GATR is one of things that evolves constantly. As a loyal member I believe I should let it evolve, and not worry about it unless I see it going down the wrong path. Then I mite pipe in and really protest some of the decisions. Either way, whatever you guys want to do I'm down with. Not like it's going to make my tires go flat or anything.. heh heh
Besides, its about time you "Staff" guys did something worth while. </LMAO/> Jk :smoke
