Good morning!!!!

[JDgreen227]

31 and going for 58, according to the weather thingy. I am driving about 100 miles per week now, vs 800+ when I was working. Gas prices don't affect me much. My wife has cut her commute from 50 miles to less than 10. (roundtrip) I have turned down several offers to return to work, as didn't want to make a long commute. Local jobs here basically suck, this is basically a rural area, and local companies don't pay very well.

When I was working I knew a guy in IT who commuted from Kalamazoo (Michigan) to downtown Lansing, he had a tiny 35 mpg commuter vehicle and gas was still around a buck a gallon so the drive didn't cost him much dollar wise but still...more than an hour and a half one way in good weather...no thanks. In '92 My brother had a 70 mile commute one way to work and he said it got old fast but the raise in pay for the job he took made it worthwhile.

Good morning all. Raining and a high of 8C or 46F today. At least the rain will help wash away the surprise 3 inches of snow we woke up to yesterday.

Back in mid Y2K gas was still a buck a gallon which is why I went out and purchased a 13 mpg 3/4 ton truck !!!

Yeah, that's when I bought my 2500 Jimmy. 6.0L V8, it will pull stumps. Unfortunately, it is very thirsty.

Hit 58 yesterday and full sunny, got about 60% of the yard cut over a 3 day period, was hoping to do another 30% today but it is 40 degrees now and sprinking rain. DARN.
