Another Milestone

One year ago today at 9:44pm the world changed a little for all of us. It wasn't some catastrophe or terrorist threat, it was much calmer and quite easily done. One year ago today at 9:44pm this Blog had its first posting.

To celebrate I'll repeat the original posting, followed by an editorial of the year and how close we came to our goal.

"12/13/08" Welcome

So here we are all grownup and doing it by ourselves, kinda gives you a warm fuzzy feeling don't it, well don't get used to it.This blog will be about Gearheads, by a Gearhead. Only Gearhead talk and subject matter will be posted and unlike other blogs no politics unless it directly involves the hobby we all know and love.

That being said, have fun and play nice.

So we are still grown up and doing it with a little help from some avid followers. We have done the political statements that could technically affect the hobby, but no tirades about politics in general. I have gone off subject a couple of times but the comments made were in favor of the subject matter. So far so good I'd say.

I started this rag as a way to state an opinion held by a few people who were thinking it. I have written my opinion and the opinion of others loud and clear and jumped on subjects that nobody would go near. I have fought against the opinion of those that have appointed themselves as the Authority of Note. Who claim to be all about the hobby when in fact they are all about themselves.

I have been criticised by some as being against them when in fact I agreed with them. At one point I washed my hands of certain people only to allow them a second chance. Needless to say there will not be a third. I have been asked to change my tactics and seen the others tactics remain the same.

This blog has been a sounding board for shows and cruise nights and shopping at Wally World, along with the Saga of Captain Nut Sack. It has remained true to its original intent or as close to it as possible. It has at all times told the truth. It has never made stuff up or told lies just to get viewers or gain revenue and will remain that way as long as I control it. It has kept contradiction for others to play with, as I have not allowed it here

I have always posted all the comments whether they are for or against the opinion of this rag as long as they are not laced with profanity or attacked someone needlessly, ( there was one that got by me and I have apologized to Ken ).

We will continue until they tell me to stop. I will attack all who attack me and defend all our rights to have a good time at shows. I will keep up on the politics that can hurt us as hobbyists and will fight to get changes made if need be, as I have in the past. Unlike others who point out the problem but run from the fight and state that its not their job.

I am humbled by the followers who read this rag and thank you all for being open minded enough to put up with my opinion. You my friends are the true believers.

That being said, Have Fun and Play Nice
