He has chains, and tow ropes, a winch and the winter tires on it. I would rather set my hair on fire than mess with that.

Not my farm, not my pig.

Well, I have phase two of Parade registration done. For the first time ever, it was like being in the 21st century with wide band internet and a modern computer.

For many years it was like a 1200 baud modem and a full dial up experience. Maybe they actually spent the money to get the web page on a host site with a real decent connection.

Back in the olden days when I was the registrar for Parade (1996) it was all analog, and I was the first registrar to have a computer system and I ran a BBS for club. It was dialup!

The entrance form was in the Panorama, and it was ripped out, filled out and mailed to national. They sucked all the money out and took care of that part. They then mailed me the filled out forms, and my wife and I hand typed every persons name, address, and information into an Access database I built. I put that on my BBS, and few select national officers had access. One was a Access wizard, and he improved my database, and generated reports.

The right people could then run the report and get what they needed.

That was back when the local region ran Parade, and national was there as the rules enforcer, and they took half the profits. We did a ton of work, and did 98% of the work, all volunteer work. Now National just runs the show and has paid workers.
