To ALL of the BAUCEs:
ALL of you made it, despite a couple of you being on the extreme opposite side of the country. That shows the dedication you have to our members, and the fact that you'd give up a little family time to be with us. Thank you for making and keeping this community what it is.
Charlie:
Thank you so much for hooking me up with five star accommodations for the weekend! You made my attendance at the reunion possible.
It was a hoot to drive up VA with you on the way back, as always. Shake n' bake, brother.
Tony:
Dude, you kept me well fed on the way home and made sure I wasn't overloaded with coding requests. Thanks for helping out! It was awesome to see you and Sammi!!
Kyle and Katie:
You two crack me up. I'm excited to come see you in September!
Keith:
You have a remarkable energy that is incredibly infectious. I don't know what it is, but it's still staying with me.
Rando:
You are an amazing rally partner! Not only are you entertaining to talk to, but boy can you run to achieve a goal. I would be honored to have you as a rally partner if it happens again...
David, Kathleen:
I'll tell you what, you two are extremely entertaining to watch when you have some drinks in you. Lol
The London Broil was friggin' delicious, and it was an honor driving your 135i, David. Kathleen: I can't believe how much fun I could have on a short trip to the liquor store with you. I wonder how David responded to the gift you left him on his radio...
Brett:
You have an amazing personality. You're always so upbeat and helpful. Thank you for being there; you definitely bring a smile to my face.
Jon:
Dude, you have saved me countless hours of frustration by showing me how to take out headlights an easier way with washer nozzles in place. I appreciate the tip, and enjoyed driving your ZHP! Very smooth machine, and is the pinnacle of a well maintained and tastefully modded ZHP. You give me something to stride for, both you and Charlie.
Cam:
Thanks for buying my lights! You funded my detailing products for the future so I could make my car look half as good as the rest of everyone else's! I hope you enjoy them!
I am missing some people but at this point I'm going on and on. I really want to thank each and every one of you for making this the best vacation I could ask for this year! I am very glad to have met some newer folks (Devlin, Cam, Adolfo, Sean, just to name a few) in addition to the other folks I've already known. Glad you all could make it!

My turn.
I'd like to thank everyone. Kyle and I had a great time. Great conversations and good company. Can't beat it!
Some specifics:
BP: Thanks for coding Lucy. Already used the windows functions. However, I can't un-train my left foot for the clutch-less start!
John & Brett: You two made my freak'n rainy Saturday awesome. Thanks for spending time with us, and letting us get to know you better. Y'all are good people, and I'm so thankful for the time we spent together. I can't wait to see you both again!
Gary: The food on Friday was delish. There's three things needed for a great meet: family, cars, and food!
Dane: Again, being able to gather on your front lawn is great. I know it's a tax on your family and septic. Thanks!
Returning Mafia wives( GF's): Tovah, Katie, Katie, Anne, and JayJay's beauty. It was wonderful to see y'all again. You girls have put a smile on my face 2 years in a row.
New Mafia wives (GF's): Sammy, Jeanne, Liza, Alfredo's wife. Just so you know, you have to come next year too! Great to meet you.

I would think she is referring to Alfonso's wife, Don Alfonso...

It was a bittersweet reunion for me.
On the one hand, I enjoyed seeing everyone (I always do). On the other hand, it was the end of an era for me. The next time I see you guys, I will be unaffiliated with management. I'm sure new management will consult with me from time to time, but I will no longer be involved on a daily basis. I know I'll miss that.
When I made the announcement that I was handing the forum over to Dane and Keith, I understood (in a small way, I'm sure) how it must feel for a parent to send their kid off to college. You've raised the child, and given him or her all of the tools to succeed, but it's time for the child to be on his or her own. The hard work -- for the parent -- is done. The parent simply hopes that the kid does well after that.
Anyhow, enough of that.
It was great spending extended periods of time with people. I have rarely been able to do that at previous meets. I went out of my way this time, though, to spend some quality time with people.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone again at a future meet. It will be nice to be there as a regular member of this forum.
All the best to everyone.
