Smile The Circuit Rider is to be finished within a couple weeks... : )

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=2964845

In Nov. of 2007...the Circuit Rider left home for a 100% face lift and transformation...I talked to Curt today and he plans on having her ready for pick up within a couple weeks. The bed is painted and installed, the interior is about complete, he is running the exhaust next week ... and he says if all goes well he might even be ready for me to pick up the Circuit Rider up next week. It’s been a long time coming but it will be worth the wait. I can't wait to hit the Ohio roads.

Re: The Circuit Rider is to be finished within a couple weeks... : )

Circuit Rider" is an old term applied to a new role in advancing technology in the Non-Profit world. In the 1800's a Circuit Rider was a preacher who traveled within a particular geographical area on horseback to help connect those within a denomination. Today's Circuit Rider still does a lot of preaching, evangelizing about technology, and is usually focused on a particular issue. A "Rider" no longer rides a horse, but still does quite a bit of traveling - giving hands-on assistance to the groups s/he is working with.

Circuit Riding is a trend appearing within the non-profit community to help address the technology shortcomings of the progressive sector. The for-profit sector will spend, on average, $1200 per person on technology training, whereas the non-profit sector averages around $50. The Circuit Rider helps to put the focus of technology on the user rather than the technology itself.

WOW...that is something I didn't know. In my case your first definition is more applicable to my reasoning to naming my truck "The Circuit Rider". Except having one horse I have about 310.
