Author Message   Ourdee Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 05:26 pm:        Also, what he said!   Americanmadexb Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 05:40 pm:        Looks like someone needs to take charge now, or it will be too late and every man for himself.   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 07:18 pm:        sorry.... retired   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 07:41 pm:         Americanmadexb Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 05:40 pm:        >>> Looks like someone needs to take charge now, or it will be too late and every man for himself. I hereby appoint an exceptional man of vision and thoughtful foresight. The person henceforth responsible for the planning and coordination of our 2011 Buell Homecoming celebration is Mr. Ian Durham. Three cheers and a sincere heartfelt "thank you sir" to Mr. Durham. I plan on showing up and meeting as many fellow Buell enthusiasts as possible. Just tell me where to... errr... uh... Just indicate the site of our convening. Deputy assistant coordinator positions for BHC2011 are open for any volunteers. Contact Ian if you can help. This is not a drill.   Americanmadexb Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 07:45 pm:        I don't think you want me in charge of anything. I like to write "Wake Up" on my To-Do list so I can start the day off accomplishing something. (Message edited by americanmadexb on February 03, 2011)   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 07:57 pm:        To all that may not got a chance to see this from last year?? http://www.mywalworthcounty.com/main.asp?SectionID =9&SubSectionID=9&ArticleID=3998 Blake ya said you would be here last year. Ya think I'm believing ya this time??? Its like the boy that cried wolf.   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:20 pm:        Sorry for that Dana. It couldn't be helped. Thank you for seeing to it that my dinner ticket didn't go to waste. Sure hope I didn't put anyone out, let alone an entire village as did the boy who cried wolf. I'd feel terrible if that were the case. Let's hope this year I can make it. I sure plan to. I *may* even have company. Think positive!   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:37 pm:        That's a nice article; hadn't seen it. Alpine Valley was a great choice according to all the feedback I've noted. I'm sure Ian will be happy for any advice/suggestion you, Rocco, or Steve may have.   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:41 pm:        Ian, Key to success: Delegate!   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:49 pm:        and... Consult! That Bads1 fellow may have retired, but as manager of a thriving bar he can juggle behind his back while jumping rope and provide sound advice all at the same time. Just try not to dig on Honda so he can hear ya. He's also a bouncer.   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:53 pm:        LMAO !!!   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:55 pm:        Bouncer??? Sometimes...lol   Americanmadexb Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 09:01 pm:        Ok. I got it. Get a hotel, RV, tent and i will see you June 3rd-5th at Road America. Done.   Blake Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 09:10 pm:        Works for me!   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 09:17 pm:        Man....How come Rocco and I didn't think of that???   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 08:30 am:        Blake has it nailed . . . it's always good to have someone fresh each year . . . It's a lot of work and if the same folks try to do it year after year, they burn out and it's tough. I think this year is going to be fabulous and I'm really looking forward to meeting Blake! The DELEGATE and CONSULT hints are great advise . . I know I've already got a lot of stuff in mind and, possibly, some fun surprises for Buellers. Court   Milt Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 11:32 am:        I, too, am looking forward to meeting Blake. According to his profile, Ian is a subject matter expert when it comes to Elkhart. Too bad it's Elkhart, Indiana.   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 12:18 pm:        >>>Too bad it's Elkhart, Indiana. Shouldn't be a problem . . . we ain't that picky . . . and . . to share a secret . . . sometimes the less "planning" goes in to it the better . . . many pilots know to keep their hands clear of the controls in turbulence. Think of "Any Elkhart will work. . . ." Make a great t-shirt, eh ? ? . . ."ELKHART Where?"   Americanmadexb Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 01:10 pm:        Man you guys are getting desperate if you want this guy to plan anything. Haha. You would be highly disappointed in my organizational skills and lack of motivation. I once tore a bathroom up to remodel about 7 years ago..... its still not done. On top of that I'm getting laid off sometime this month and not even sure if I can make it this year.   Blake Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 01:34 pm:        But you'll have plenty of time to oversee the planning. Delegate. In this it costs little. Unlike a bathroom. Hey, whether you know it or not, just like your predecessor, Rocco, you volunteered. Thrilling ain't it?   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 01:43 pm:        I volunteered Rocco . . .kind of last year . . . and I'd say his performance was nothing short of stellar . . . I'm still coming down off last years party. I'm eager to meet Blake . . .   Bads1 Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 04:34 pm:        Ya know I think Court and Blake should do it. Court knows the area. He also said hes got some great idea's and Blake has been here more then once. Now come on fella's. You guys can do this. Rocco and I spent hours and hours on last year. Court you say less can be more. You may be right so give it a try.   Bads1 Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 04:36 pm:        I'd say his performance was nothing short of stellar . . . I'm still coming down off last years party. Funny your right it was stellar. No one man could do this alone. Quit referring to one person.   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 04:38 pm:        Good point . . . Steve, Rocco and Dana. Court's done PLENTY of them and won't be doing this one. I'll be there and will have a great time . . just like I have every year since 1989.   Bads1 Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 04:42 pm:        BTW, Has Erik hung the Sign I had made and everyone signed from the event??? Probably not but worth it have done.   Ourdee Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 06:29 pm:        I thought I was in charge this year. I can do this part :"The DELEGATE and CONSULT hints are great advise . . ". I only claim the dates after some consulting, and delegate the responsibility for your lodging and schedule of events attended to each individual. HC2011's signature line is,"And I helped".   Ourdee Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 06:30 pm:        Oh, 118.   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 08:23 pm:        Shirts are ordered. There ...... I helped. :-)   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 08:55 pm:        Ourdee . . . shoot me a PM with your number and I'll give you a call tomorrow. My wife is going to contact the factory and work on the arrangements for Thursday during the day. I've got someone working on Thursday evening as well. That's all I'm going to do. See you can delegate. I'm proud of you! Talk to you tomorrow . . . Court   Court Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 09:09 pm:        Ourdee: I also meant to mention . . we have a fairly active Buell Employees Alumni Club and I'm betting we can get you all the volunteers you need in the area . . . they're not cheap, but they're smart. I'll post a notice on our bulletin board if you need bodies!
