"Don't you make me break my foot off in yo' ass!!!"
Yeah, Daddy.
We don't care if there's that monotonous sub theme of competition in some camps: we gonna have a good time, Bub.
We can't be bothered if the pros are jealous of one another; if the pros are jealous of the non-pros and vice versa; if the young is spiteful of the old for their accumulation or if the old reciprocates by coveting youth wasted on the noisy neuvos.
We don't give a flip.
There are jealousies (say it ain't so) of HOP UP, too; yeah, Man. We hear that whatever it is that make YOU loyal to THIS, is a threat to some folks .....guess they oughta be thankful we don't try. What if we actually SOUGHT some of the other guys market?Naaaaaaw.
The intimacy of doing this with 19 of you is where it's at. First name basis. Affinity. Comfort. Familiarity without contempt. We can talk dirty. We can take the month off, and we can commune with real hot rod and custom boys out there when we do.God knows it ain't about the bottom line!!!!
Our purpose is to discover veritas and share it, even if it's found in obscure places and -luckily - in the person of cats like y'all, who maybe the Bigs don't even know about. You probably already sense that we like the unaffected. The cool. Those indifferent to the styles, whims, practices and purposes of the unwashed . And of the many. Hop Up Guys tend to be able to go it alone without mitigated pleasure. And when in good company.......you can expect that company to be a relatively small entourage.
We, too, find comfort in those tight groups. And in the barn. And on solo chingos (RIP).
And here.
Yeah. For our part, we have to come here pretty regularly, too, cuz we feed on this exercise and its' search for the right words....... words that might explain how vital all this is to us (personally).........we thrive on the realization that a few of you might listen.....and agree. We're lucky to have been screwed in to this avocation.... because the payoff has been so much more visceral than imagined. So much sweeter than envisioned; so rich in other-than-fiscal terms, and ultimately (bank this one, Bub) in fiscal terms as well.
What's realized on this side ......simply-put....is a luxury. It's therapy. Exploration. Adventure. And opportunity. Opportunity afforded by the likes of you.
For that opportunity...for that privilege, we have probably neglected to say, "Thank you."
So........thank you. All 19 of ya.
Really.
'Guess maybe we done shot our wad for the Christmas speech, huh?
It's About the IRON....... Mostly.
