Still kickin

Post by ajflan »

So it's been quite a while since I've been on, so I figured I'd give a quick status update if anyone cares.Back in May, I decided to drive across the country and move to Las Vegas from Detroit. Since then, I have not had much access to a computer. That would explain my lack of involvement on this site.The Vibe is still going strong, albeit with a bit more miles (140,000) and a few minor dings and battle scars from the big drive. Fortunately, the majority of those are barely visible, if at all.Hopefully I will stop being lazy and fix my computer, in which case you might see a little bit more of me here and there. I should probably get around to posting pics or something of the sort. (I assume the love of pics on this site has not subsided)Anyhoo, I must be going. I will be around, lurking in the shadows

You didn't mention why such the large move? Job, family, woman?

One of my favorite Metro Detroit Vibes is alive! Too bad I never got a chance to see it up close. Miss seeing you burning down Van (removed).Thanks for the check-in, AJ.

Good to hear that all is well with you and the Vibe! Congrats on the new chapter! Are the parking meters in NV better to spoon with than MI?

By your stds I am a noob here, but welcome back just the same!Yeah, why the move to Las Vegas? Not being a gambler myself I have never been there and had little interest in going but hear, even from gamblers I know, that its gotten bad I've also heard that because of the influx of out-of-towner's moving in over the last 10yrs that unemployment is extreme, perhaps even worse than in Michigan!!If it was just a much needed life change you should know that I moved to Austin 16 yrs ago w/o a job or even the prospect of one. 'Didn't know anyone here and had never even seen the city before. I just packed up and moved.Is that how it was for you too?

I guess the main reason for the move was a sense of adventure. That, and I have a buddy down here who I collaborate with musically, so we are working on our band stuff as well. And no, the parking meters are not as fun here (removed). I forgot about that saucy pic!

I had been thinking about it for about 10yrs before and I was at a real low point in my life. I needed the adventure.I see you're from Plymouth Meeting. I know it.
