    Default BajaRon needs some encouragement about going to Spyderfest

    I won't say I'm surprised but I will say I'm disappointed. I was talking with BajaRon today and told him he had 18 days to get his Spyder in shape for Spyderfest, that's when I saw the look I've seen many times before . He is not fully committed to going and I would take bets that at the last minute he's going to bail on me/us. You see he is a very busy guy and has so many irons in the fire that the fire is fixin to go out. If you can't take time out of work to spend a little quality time with your friends and in his case customers then what's the point of it all? I think he just needs to feel a little love from you all to make him commit to going no matter what he has to put off for a few days. The guys been retired for years but has less time now than when he had a real job.

    So if you would like to see BajaRon at Spyderfest and it just wouldn't be the same without him then let him know on this post. It's easy for him to blow me off but it will be harder if 500 Spyderlovers are looking forward to him going.

    ​Ron, just post on SL that you will be at SpyderFest, leave a note on your email account that you will be at SpyderFest. If others can take a vacation to be there, so can you. Announce this far enough in advance and people will have no excuse to be upset with you if you are gone for a few days. AND, if anyone does get upset, are they really your (good) customers to begin with? THEN when you return, have Lamont help you catch up!!!

    I won't be there, But if you want some advice, When i had my Business if i wanted to take a long weekend off, When i left the office on Thursday afternoon as i was walking out the door i would stick a sign on the door be back Monday. Never lost a customer, if you tell them in advance, It's like your asking permission to take time off. Remember its easier to get Forgiveness than to get Permission.

    I'm not even going to spyder fest; But I;ll be very upset if you don't put aside WHAT ever you might consider so important an ENJOY some time to kick back and decompress as well as a nice ride to and from. Life is WAY too short not to smell the coffee and the Roses.

    Besids which it will all be there for you when your return, refreshed and recharged!!!

    Oh, Ron, don't disappoint us. If I can make it (and even bring Nancy), you can make it. C'mon buddy, don't go making contingency plans. They make it too easy to back out. We'd sure love to see you in Cuba!
