Are you a P.E. then? I think its crazy how many engineers (and engineers to be) there are in the OBS crowd.

So here is google's suggested route:


Here is an alternative (supposedly about an hour longer):


Which route should I take? Maybe I'll go one route in the way and the other on the way back.

Not a registered engineer, no. I have been in in the business 19 years now though. I've never been pressed to get licensed, and honestly when I look at the landscape of the companies I've been at I didn't want the professional liability issues.

I've made a good life of being the mid-level engineer/designer type, and money ain't everything. I manage what I have well - even with my truck habit lol.

I have a sister in Warsaw, IN (I think). I'll get to see her for the first time in 8 years when I go out there in a couple weeks.
