  • I'm not dead yet

    But its been a loooong while since I posted much here.

    I bought my first FSJ in 1998 after a car accident broke my neck. I wanted some solid steel around me after that and my Dad had always loved funky old wagoneers and cherokees so I bought a 79 Wagoneer. It was shortly thereafter that I joined the old Majordomo listserv. In fact I met my husband there - and yes, I do let him drive my jeep - in fact my 77 Wag, Phoebe, was a wedding present from him to me in 2000. I followed the listservs and groups for years and finally joined up here after the first Ouray Invasion. I was actively engaged with IFSJA until I rolled Phoebe in AZ in Nov of 2010. IFSJA was the greatest gift during that time - providing support and parts and friends and and a sense of belonging to a community that would support each other no matter what. With the support of many in the IFSJA community and the Tucson full size jeepers, Phoebe was rebuilt and I drove her home to Colorado in May of 2012. We couldn't have done it without you all. But since the roll over I've drifted away from the forum. It seems that life takes a different perspective after an event of that nature and your priorities change.

      Hi Rob! I've missed you too! And things are well. Phoebe has been a daily driver the past few weeks and my wallet is hurting! But she fires right up, purrs down the highway, hauls hay, and eats up all of the county's Prius' carbon offsets. And everybody loves her. I get so many comments on her at the gas stations and parking lots! I'm a proud Momma!

                It was a pleasure to meet you in person at Ouray '13 and check out Phoebe in person. Hope to make it out again someday, and hopefully with more than a muscle grille hanging in a GM.
