It sucks but it'd suck even more if I had money in it or if it was my name on the work. Fortunately I've got nary a dime invested and it's not my work.

As I always tell my brother and Tom (part-timer)

I'm an operator. Not a mechanic. I can bolt parts in bolt parts out but that's not what I'm there for.

Morning everyone.

I've been to Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, North Carolina, Utah, and Illinois. I've been at the airports in Phoenix, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.

I'd like to see what a "tropical" beach is like. I've seen the ocean twice, once was Galveston, Texas, and the other was the beaches of North Carolina and it was cold as hell. I'd like to see more of the South as well, I like places that are so "different' culturally. Canada would be awesome too, I'd like to see the Northern Lights.... I'll add to my list Hawaii, Alaska, the East coast and the West coast.

I've only been to Canada once, Suite St. Marie...and that was back in the '80s when you could ride the charter boats through the locks. I understand that's all change now. Must not be too rough though, they let my dad & step mother into Toronto and the Canadian side of Niagara Falls last fall for several days. Maybe some day we'll get to go back, would like to take my wife to Niagara at least once.

I still have a few to go to yet, but I've spent varying amounts of time and driven through:

New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Utah, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and (UGH!) Kansas. Visiting Brent will add in Washington, and my buddy Kymry is up in Montana. I have a few left to go

g'mornin' all!!


Oh yeah, we'll have a guest bedroom setup in Erie, CO by the 2nd week of February, so if you're passing through, give a holler. Which means that the "Shop-building party for Lisa" is one step closer to reality.

my house is 100 yards from the raritan bay, and the atlantic ocean is about 2 miles SSE from me across the bay

i have been cross country to cali twice, down to florida twice, and north into eastern canada.

and have only been in a big airplane once, 2 years ago when i went to alabama to pick up some trucks.

i flew a cessna a few times, but that was local, never more than 20 miles from the airport.

I have been able to travel a bit, but never hung anywhere to really get the feeling for it. I have been to South Dakota for a week, California a couple of different times, Florida several times. SC once for a couple of weeks,Arizona for a week, Wis for a couple of days. Canada is like going up North for me, a weekend thing, but I would love to make it to the Hudson Bay. Been to Denver for a 4 day trip. My Favorite Road trip was from Cali to Michigan, did a beer bong at every state line, used a compass to get here, and all we were worried about was turning left on I 75. Most of our trip we were on the Old Route 66, and although we loved that part of it, that wasnt the main choice, but that road is so broken up now, we seemed to have left it, and reconnected to it several times.

Looking forward to Tenn this summer..

True. I was talking natural, above the age of 30. That clear things up? I bet you'll never forget the difference ever again though. Something about the human brain - we never forget sex-related things.

Agreed. Get to see some states I've never been to.
