So I guess I say a bit about me. My name’s Carol Horsley, I’ve lived in San Diego all but 3 of my 44 years, and I have 3 teens (a son at UCSB & two daughters in high school), a dog & a cat. I’ve worked full time at the same construction supply job for almost 13 years. I get out & play quite a bit too (especially now that my kids are self-sufficient).
I’ve only been on
for about 3 years, but discovered the joys of Jeeps & dirt back in 1988 in a 1974 Wagoneer, and fell in love with the first XJ that I got, in 1997. We'd take the kids & any XJ we had to San Felipe & play in the washes & on the beach. I'd love to someday have both a rockcrawling XJ and a JeepSpeed XJ, but always enjoy my current rig.
I’ve wheeled with and met a lot of you at all the events I've been to. I currently keep the monthly San Diego M&G going. I’ve helped on a lift party, and a gear install or two, and other random wrenching events. I helped out on the Chase crews for KOH in 2008 and the Baja 1000 a week ago.
I do my own wrenching, though it's often with the help of friends because (a) help’s necessary, (b) my HOA sucks, and/or (c) it’s just more fun that way! My current lift was “trail tested” under other jeeps, and I had to buy...the rear brake line, and our pizza & beer.
I’ve been on both the giving & receiving end of parts railroads & parts donations, and constantly see how much folk are willing to reach out & do for other folks they may not even know. It's a wonderful thing, and says a lot about the group and its members.
And finally (!!), as far as my credentials and skills that are needed to be SoCal’s Treasurer...I’ve done bookkeeping for a family member's small business since 1986 and I do the tax returns for that business too. I’m fairly proficient at Excel, and have strong math skills. At my fulltime job I cashier & reconcile funds (and have full access to the store's money), as well as still doing counter sales, purchasing, and whatever else needs to be done. I multitask very well. I’m responsible & reliable, strong-minded & thick-skinned, I avoid taking sides in personal disputes, and I’m here on to stay.
Oh, and I tend to write a lot and talk a lot :wow:
Any questions, feel free to post up or PM me. Thanks for your time & consideration!
Carol
