Trip Out

waterman · 06-28-2014, 07:48 AM

With everything going on and no close end in site, I am having to cancel the plans for Orofino. Sucks working on it for nearly a year and then having to back out. My wife is more important and getting her out is now my #1 priority.

Sorry Bud about dumping everything on you but I know you will get some fantastic help. Everyone, hoist a drink for Krystal's health at this rally.

BD, go ahead and post all you want. You will be on the ignore list.

Wow, some folks will go to any length to get out of making good on a wager.

We understand, Joel. I'm sure any of us would do the same if in your shoes. Take care of her and help her get back on her feet.

rickyboy · 06-28-2014, 12:00 PM

Joel, I understand completely!! You hang in there and be there for Krystal.
Bud will be fine I'm sure.....I've asked Kevin Clark ....my Assist. Leader to be the Western Canada rep..I'm sure he'll help Bud out when/if he can.

Joel,
Take good care of Krystal.
Thank you for all the work that you have done for the Rally and you will be missed.

Hope to ride with you again at some point. But that can wait. Your where you need to be. Thoughts and prayers to you both.

landman · 06-28-2014, 04:42 PM

thanks joel for all the behind the scenes work that you do in organizing these rallies over the years.

**Idaho** · 06-28-2014, 07:24 PM

Hey Joel,
Sad to hear this because it means that Krystal is not healing as well or as fast as hoped. I pray that she will be fine.
As others have noted there will be lots of help. I will get maps printed off for the rides that you laid out and give you a call in a week or so to cover details.

Take care, Bud

**Eagle Eye** · 06-29-2014, 01:06 AM

Totally understood. My wifes health last year curtailed travel for me as well. I hope your wife has a speedy recovery.

One of the people I was hoping to finally meet.

Joel...I know from our phone conversations how stressed out you've been. The last thing you need is to worry about a bunch of knuckleheads on motorcycles. You will be missed....and while rallies come and go...family is forever. Tricia and I wish you guys the best in getting things situated on the home front.

If you're having a bad day, just remember, the Seahawks are STILL the Super Bowl Champions! I'm guessing CJ will have your back and pick up the tab for both schoeney AND me to cover our Super Bowl bet at Jack's Saloon....'cause that's the kind of guy he is...

Like meeting Gomer Pyle on crack!

When a man uses his wife to get out of paying a wager..........

Ok Joel, put me on ignore! LOL

You guessed wrong! I'm a CHEAP BASTARD.

**schoeney** · 06-30-2014, 01:23 AM

Joel...here's hoping things turn around for you and Krystal....

I can relate to the whole "family goes nuts" during stressful times. I went through it a couple years ago when my Dad died as well. Not fun.

If for some reason you make it to Orifino I will buy you a very tall cocktail. If not, the next time we get together....sounds like at the party at BD's place in November? hahhaha.....party crashing.
