MonoMonday Challenge - 176 Blip Names

SkiMe, SKI ME 1, comes from an old personalized license plate.  A friend of friend in high school had SKI ME 2 on a bright red VW Scirocco.  Later in University when I bought my first car, a black 1988 VW Scirocco 16V, I worked the weekends during the winters as a ski instructor and decided that SKI ME 1 fit the attitude.  The Scirocco followed me to the mountains faithfully and on many a road trip out west to Colorado.  I keep the moniker as a reminder of the fun, free and adventurous time in my life.

No snow at the moment... so a rather Spring-like photo will have to do. :)

Funny, as some other Blippers have made mistakes during their sign-on period, so did I... I had set up a profile SkiMe1 but then at the time the customer service was a bit spotty and I couldn't get logged in. Out of frustration, I created another profile, but lost the original name since I had already 'taken' it.  ha, maybe now would be a good time to try and recover it... :)
