Livin la buena vida!!!
For alot of people owning an FJR leads to joining this forum.
Some of you will remember this thread
So, for me owning an FJR meant joining this forum which lead to reading the afor mentioned thread and getting a job in an area I could only dream about living in before.
Here is a summary of events.
1. Pinhead posts.
2. I read the post.
3. I fill out app and send resume.
4. Pinhead calls and we have a great conversation about area and job. (what a nice guy btw)
5. I'm fortunate enough to be added to the "short list" of candidates.
6. Arrive in Gunnison, CO on the Saturday before the interview on Monday. (mini vacation)
7. Throw down a few Fat Tire beers with Pinhead...thanks for the beers Dave!!! :drinks:
8. Go to Mt. Crested Butte for an interview with the greatest group of folks you'll ever hope to meet.
9. Return home and sit on pins and needles waiting for a call.
10. Got a call...O M Freakin G I got the job. (I'm going to be living and working in paradise)
So I'm having lunch with some fellow FJR owners yesterday and one of them says "If you still rode a V-Strom you wouldn't be leaving"
My jaw dropped and I thought, what a profound statement.
It's totally true. If I had never bought my '07 AE I wouldn't be moving to one of the most beautiful areas on Earth. :yahoo:
Now I know it ain't going to all be a rose garden and life will still have it's up and downs. :glare:
However, right now, life cain't be better!!! :clapping:
Moral of the story (I guess) is...you just never know what decisions you make now will change your life later.
It's true, really true...you meet the nicest people on an FJR!!!
BTW - Thanks again Pinhead (Dave) and everyone else involved. :thumbsupsmileyanim:
