Numb Nuts

Today, after being crotch deep in a snow drift, I definitely had numb nuts. That is another story, for another time. This story is about a couple of numb nuts, that happen to run a certain hobbyist organization.

It seems after being handed the reins of power, they instantly pissed off a bunch of the membership by putting into effect a few things without the proper steps as per the by-laws. My thought on this is put on your big girl panties and live with it. Maybe it needed to be done.

So now we have the heart of the matter, you tell me how numb this is.

Recently this organization was handed what could become a premiere event for the gear head crowd and a major charity. It has only been around for a couple of seasons and hasn't really taken off like it should. Poor location could probably be the biggest reason but personal issues between the original organizer and his former Team mates and other parties is more likely the biggest reason.

Anyway back to the story. The chief numb nut in charge,who shall be known as Captain Nut Sack infinitum, handed off this event to a couple of members that are well known for getting shit done and done right and told them to do what needed to be done. So they did, with a new venue and a date that was not taken by any other events.

Perfect right, Novocaine to the bag if you please.

Well Captain Nut Sack decided he didn't like the couple he gave it to or they didn't tell him the good news or the novocaine finally got to his brain and other people were told to take care of it.
It seems that the event can be shared and organized by more than one organization as well it should be, if the organization wants it to become a success.

What the hell was he thinking. Now the organization is all pissed off at the people that get shit done, who by the way had locked in the date and the location because they were given the authority. He has not allowed the people who get shit done to state their case as to the reason they picked this particular location and date. Now Captain Nut Sack wants nothing to do with the event and has stated that the organization will have nothing to do with the event without checking with or asking the organization what they wanted to do.

What this is really about is the leadership of some organizations either not caring about the things they do or not remembering what has been said and to whom it was said.
Keep your shit together Captain Nut Sack or be prepared to take one in the nuts.

So now whether this event is on or off is dependent upon whether enough others organization can step up to help the people that get shit done. I don't think that will be an issue and the Car version of the Toy Run will go off on Labor Day at the Portland Motor Club with or without Captain Nut Sack and his Ball Boy.
