I'll drive that any day of the week to stay out of an apartment. If I can't take a leak in my own backyard, the neighbors are too dang close.

I’ve driven around 50k miles since then & really pay more attention at intersections all the time. I often remember the incident while driving; so I’ve been more observant of other drivers more than ever

I’m very Grateful & Thankful to be alive, and to not have any pain that requires constant meds for

I appreciate all you guy’s support over the past couple years & I’m thankful to have such good friends (including EW)

The bassackwards Garage,Ark,Box,Man Cave should be operational by April 1

The insulation and interior OSB will come a bit later; as I’m considering adding some more vertical support & another level with a Gambrel Roof...for storage

I’ll be able to look out the front up top & sip my coffee

I can relate to that. I get reminded all the time when my neck starts hurting. No pain meds for me. I just tough it out most of the time. Otherwise, I hit the Ibuprofen.

I'm mowing the yard this morning. 47F isn't that warm, but it ain't that cold either

Fully agreed. I'm a big fan of having property (albeit not as much of a fan of mowing the lawn/raking the leaves/tree maintenance).

How's traffic in your area? I'd think that would be rough.

Piece of cake. Not too bad. I just have to deal with the crazies on the I-16 500 race track on the way home.

My daily commute is around 70 miles round trip. I'm behind the wheel for a little over 4 hours.

You guys are killing me. My commute is 30 miles a day because I go home for lunch. I also live on a half acre with no grass. The house is just over 2000sqft with a three car garage. I have uo be strategic but I can pea in my yard too!

Yup. Redando can tell you how bad traffic is here. One of the main reasons why I went with an auto transmission with the Z.

That's all some serious commutage. I work remote 3/4 days a week. So I commute from my bed to the crapper to my home office.

On the days I go into the office... it's a 14 minute round trip.

I used to do alot of remote work, but more money in being physically there. Closet Ive ever worked was about a mile... and I was NEVER on time, would take 3-4 hour lunches at home because if I was needed, I had my cell phone and could be at work in less than 5 minutes.
