Wife, son and I went to south daytona beach this morning. Great breakfast at a resteraunt I've been to before. Met up with my best friend who lives right across A1A from where we were sitting on the beach. Nice, clean waves. No dolphins today. Then, we went to the discount outlets so that I could buy a pair of Sperrys. Hit up Buc-ee's for junk food and drinks for the ride home.

Damn bee stung me on my palm today. Just got home from walking the dog and was taking my shoes off in the back yard. Felt a sting on my hand and looked at it... friggin' bee was there, stinger already in my skin.

Killed it, then removed the stinger with tweezers. Hurt like a mofo for a couple minutes but went away pretty quick after stinger was out.

One of the main roads in the area is closed for rr repair. Makes my commute so much worse. Now giving myself an hour fifteen to get in and using most of it. ...for 9 miles.

There's a bike trail by me that goes directly next to the hospital. If I could sustain 10-12mph (I cant) I'd beat my drive time.

in all sincerity (you know me well enough) you have more "no quit" in you than 98.2% of people I've known.
And I've known 98.2% (that's a lie) of all people who have ever lived.

Somewhere in there is a huge compliment.

That sounds like a San Francisco Bay Area commute…..and the bike trail is completely covered with homeless people tent cities.

And this is suburban indiana. Population growth far surpassed infrastructure and traffic is as bad as a city. We don't have too many homeless, but they're there. No camps, most of them have cars or vans parked in busy parking lots.

Theres three routes I can take. One has 5 railroad crossings and 12 traffic lights but on the rare day there's no train, takes 15 minutes to get in. Can well surpass an hour if there is one train but I've caught 2 a few times. There's a switching yard nearby so on one of the crossings the trains will stop for 20-30 minutes.

The other has 25ish traffic lights but bridges over the crossings. Routinely 30 minutes.

The third has two train crossings and 18 traffic lights. Routinely 40 minutes, but well over an hour if a train backs up traffic.

Good Sunday Morning! 65° on the way to 81° and cloudy today.

Fixing a leak in my garage sink today. I found a three sink stainless steel unit in a closed bar auction to replace the standard contractor wobbly plastic wash tub in my lower garage.

I'm now convinced not store PVC cement, just use it for a job, throw away the leftover cement and buy a fresh can for the next job. The cleaner/primer will keep pretty well. Oh, and JB Weld make a great wet/dry epoxy putty.

I despise US 30 in general. After 11yrs of Valpo to Merrillville and back I suffered chronic road rage (passive stuff. None of that chit you see on YouTube). Now I head straight south and cover twice the distance in the same amount of time. When I was headed to the interview I was amazed at what a peaceful drive it was

Back when I did the daily commute to work, it would be about an hour each way on a good day. Weather, road work and any accidents could easily extend that to 1.5+ hrs each way which happened at least once a week.

Generally there was only one way to go on the main roads/highways and a few alternate ways on back roads. The back roads kinda ran parallel to the main highways. I’d prefer the back roads which took you through towns along the way. On average, it’d take a little more time but would be more consistent. During the school year there would be a small window that if you missed it, you’d get stuck behind school buses.

I started using Waze or Google to see if there were any snags coming up. If so I could get off the highway and take the back way. Problem was, so would everybody else. The driving assistant or listening to the traffic reports on the radio ended up being rather worthless other than to let you know that in 10 minutes things are going to suck. They should have programmed it for this situation and have it say: “Yeah, you’re about to come to a dead stop soon and there’s nothing you can really do about no matter what way you go. Sucks to be you.”

I don’t miss the daily commute at all.

Hard for me to understand why anyone would put up with long commutes for very long if there was an alternative like moving closer to work. Some friends have spent literally years of their life driving to and from.

I wasn't gonna say anything cuz I don't wanna be a one upper, but I used to live in Santa Monica and work in burbank... for those not in Southern California, that equates to a roughly 26 mile drive that equated to a roughly 1 hour and 15 minute drive into work, and a two and a half hour drive home... as long as there were no accidents or sporting events...

Thursdays I would leave work early and drive the 188 miles from burbank to Kingsburg to see my future wife... quite often - without exaggeration - that drive would be faster than my commute to my apartment that was only 26 miles away... (there's a roughly 30 mile straight shot of 5 lane freeway south of Bakersfield with no on or off ramps... keep it under a buck and you're golden...)

When I shattered my ankle and got stuck on my parents couch for 3 months, I found the number to an apartment complex that was only a few miles of non freeway driving from the plant... signed a year lease without ever seeing the building...

In MA, the closer you get to Boston the housing prices go up exponentially and you get less home/property/privacy for the money so it comes down to a tradeoff between the two.

I'm at the point in my life where the higher salary doesn't justify the extra headache (for me). I have no problem stepping back on the take home income if it means a simpler life over what I've been doing the past 27+ years. It also made me re-evaluate my "wants" vs "needs" in my lifestyle. Learned that I was wasting a lot of money on $hit I really don't need.

Agreed, Bucky. Bought a brand new home in Temecula for about $50-70k less than a similar 25-30 year old home in San Diego and commuted 130 miles round trip for 7 years.

That home is worth a whole helluva lot more than I paid and Temecula has grown a lot and people want to live here. Houses on the market are selling in days, not weeks.

DAMNIT!

P.S. it ain't for me. It's carrying on the tradition of nine999. http://www.cigarbid.com/...c/profile/55328/nine999

All are welcome to post NINE! assuming you have a NINE! to post based on NINE! criteria which is kinda loosey goosey but we have no loosey goosy so we'll have to stick with NINE!.

(last digit of the post has to be 9. The post must include NINE! either by itself or with some stupid response with NINE! creatively interjected. If ya' can't think of anything, NINE! is fine).

This particular post has no NINE! in it's posting number, it's one off so it's not an official NINE!

...Saying NINE! plus one is illegal so 100 is just a hunedrd

I don't make the rules. Any complaints, see management.
