Your WM's Hard at Work...? - Montana Owners Club

worknomore · 07-07-2013, 05:27 AM

Rumors, Rumors, Rumors...

Now it has been brought to my attention that a few folks don't actually believe that the WM's REALLY gathered in June for a Rally work session in central Illinois, or that we gathered & didn't work, or that the schedule was filled in with a generous sprinkling of pixie dust

.

Honest folks, it ACTUALLY happened, & we worked our fannies off. To dispel any more

rumors

, below is a link to some pics showing the blood, sweat, & tears shed by all 6 of us for a week. So as not to scare off future WM's, some of the pics show that we did get a break once in a while, but not much.

Judge for yourself by going to:

Your WM's Hard at Work...!

P.S. - All in jest, of course, but it was a GOOD week, WE got a lot accomplished, & enjoyed the work tremendously (the 'rumor' was actually my neighbor with an SOB who saw the pics & said that Montana owners seem to do nothing but travel, eat, occasionally imbibe, & generally have fun. HELLO - Isn't that what the MOC is all about...? )!

So if you are thinking about becoming a WM, you can see from the pics that its not ALL work!

HA! I don't know about this. Looks more like a drunken, wild shindig to me....

Nah, just kidding. This kind of thing takes a lot of hard work. Thank you for taking charge. I look forward to meeting you all, and thanking you in person.

DUH, I fell for it Just a suggestion! If those who are starting the rumors were to help, they would have a better understanding of all the work the wagon masters and the assistance wagon masters do.

**DQDick** · 07-07-2013, 07:38 AM

All who think the wagon masters have an easy job raise your hands.

Thank you to those with your hands in the air for volunteering to be wagon masters next year

I second that...!

Glad to see Rondo is finally working at something

At least he is making an effort to pretend he is working

**Rondo** · 07-07-2013, 01:44 PM

I will third Dick's suggestion also. Nothing like jumping in with both feet to gain experience!

Jan you just wait, we're Co-Wagon Masters for the CPRR remember??? Your time is coming!

Ok kids - get along!

Boy, I hope no one took my post seriously...

cdaniels · 07-07-2013, 03:30 PM

Whew! I was worried there for a minute thinking OMG who complained? Then read further along and got it! Thanks sooooo much for all your hard work for all of us! See u soon!

Nice outing! How was the fishing? You know you do not have to have a license to fish there? It is a private lake.

Did you visit the campus of the U of I, otherwise known as University of Illinois! How is the corn? Knee-hi by the 4th of July?

Lots of agriculture in that area that I grew up in! Bob and I have stayed there every time we leave the National Rally to visit with my sister. Very glad you enjoyed yourselves.

**Rondo** · 07-07-2013, 07:32 PM

So Myna did you volunteer to be a USO girl at the dances they held there at Chanute?

I remember them well! Don't ask me how or why either!

OK back to the subject! We did get a lot accomplished at our little meeting in Champaign and it was a really nice mom and pop campground too. Quiet and far enough away from the interstate so we didn't hear the cars or trucks at all and the trains were quite a ways away too. Watch out for those red flashing lights in the northeast sky however!

David and Jo-Anna · 07-07-2013, 08:33 PM

Yup!!!!

worknomore · 07-08-2013, 02:04 AM

Just tryin' to lighten the mood a bit - this Rally thing was getting too serious...

!

K0LCB · 07-08-2013, 03:54 AM

Thanks for pictures and info. You all had me worried, I was afraid all you did was plan activities, try to keep the schedules straight, and worry for us.

TerryClaudia · 07-08-2013, 10:40 AM

Terry & I would love to thank all of you for all the work that you are doing for us at the Rally.
It is greatly appreciated. See you soon.
Terry & Claudia

All kidding aside, I know that planning these events IS hard work. Claudia and I were planners for local, state, and regional Gold Wing Road Riders Association rallies for many years. If you have never been involved with something like this you can't really appreciate what all goes into these events. And when every things run smooth, it just looks easy when it really isn't. So thank you to our wagon masters and all who volunteered to help them out this year.

worknomore · 07-08-2013, 02:45 PM

Thanks guys - wouldn't be doing it if we didn't enjoy it...

No USO girl, but I did meet this Airman that drove a Corvair! We made a few stops along the way from Chanute to C-U weekly! Hmmmm...those were the days!
