  • *Official* 2011 Countdown Thread

    This has to be started by a prior year Long Hauler right? Well I have to be one of the first BSers home.

    It was officially announced again at the Long Hauler awards that all they know for sure is that it will end in Detroit this year.

    with all do respect.............................. there is..... NO SUCH RULE!

    I see no number of days left either. Original countdown was started couple years ago when; a few of us freaks had nothing better to do in the middle of winter. So the countdown started on the old (not to be mentioned ) sitein 2006

    Whether some people like it or not a countdown is a countdown. This is not the LONGHAULERS forum.....as far as I know!

    If I am wrong then let me know and adjustments will be made.

        No announcement about the start but I bet they factor in the heat this year.

          Way to go James by following the rules! This is the countdown I'll be posting in!!! The countdown for this year was a non hauler ;).

            Actually, I was also a previous Long Hauler, but since I could not go at the last minute,
            I thought it would be nice to participate in some small way and decided to start the next years thread,
            while all you were out on tour having fun. I had no idea what that seemingly small decision was about to start.

            The problem with your unwritten rule, is that it is also an unknown law too.
            Unless someone happens across the sniveling in one of the threads.

            Anyhow, as I understand the unwritten rule from all the whinning;

            Next year's countdown thread must be started by someone who was a long hauler on this years tour.

            :-\

                  The tour hasnt always started where it finished the previous year. From the sounds of things I have heard, Mobile May not be a good starting point. I kind of hope for New Orleans. Time will tell.
                  Hauling ass & sucking gas are the best uses for a truck.

                      Way to go Evan!!! Hopefully the date is correct, only HR and Family Events now for sure. :D

                      Now for the rest of you sniveling cry babies... a long, long time ago way back in 2004 a bunch of us were posting on the HR site and became fast friends. By the time the countdown for the 2005 PT started, which we waited until December I think, we had all talked back and forth exchanging phone #'s and emails planning the hotels along the way.

                      It was at one of those venues along the 2005 route that we were all sitting around and came to the conclusion that a long hauler would start the countdown when they got home. Now with mobile technology etc., people are jumping the gun and looking for the "fame" of starting the countdown. Do what you want folks, but the forum freaks are a pretty tight group and don't really need all the whining and name calling!

                      Now excuse me while I jump off my soapbox, there are worse things in the world to worry about. One I can think of is that young man lying in a strange hospital without his Dad. Let's all just grow up and kiss and make up! :-*
