It's nice to have to have a clean bathroom to use anywhere you go but with the new bathroom laws? Sheesh this country is on the brink. Isn't it weird you guys what's going down? I can't believe it.

You got nearly 100k more on your backside than I do... You never know about the Oregon bathrooms. I know for the most part Idaho is safe.

Dont get me wrong ya bunch of haters.....so if I may explain myself.  600 miles means at least 12 hours there and 12 hours back.  Thats approximately $300+ in fuel, food, and time off.  And since I'm self employed that means at least a few days without the all too critical paycheck too.  I can see the dollars racking up against me fast.....and I have a family who relies on such monetary items for inconsequential things like food and clothing.  Our vacations are limited and trying to explain that this one will be spent with forum buddies probably wouldn't receive much warm praise.

So yeah maybe I dont go many places these days.....but I dont just drive a 2nd gen only because they're the epitome a diesel pickup truck. 

How about I just post a picture of my smiling mug and you all just imagine how much fun it would be with me there.

I used to be in the same boat raising my 3 daughters. I'd work off my backside each day and we were still short on bread. I fully understand.

Just like coming to the big city of Boise. It's crazy around the city. Everyone in hurry. I'm always glad to heading back out to the forest again. Much simpler world less confusion.

Yep, did you see on the news where they discovered folks who live near natural surroundings live 12% longer on average.

 

Judging just coming back from the Bay area I would say at least 50% longer since I felt so good  by just getting back to my private woods.

If that true then I died a year and a half ago by living in the fast lane of SoCal.

I can understand that.  Being self employed, the business doesn't give you a payed vacation and time off, no work no money.  Prioritize that time off, you can only afford so much.

Why I have so many different jobs so as one season closes another season of work starts. Like web work is closing and firewood and air conditioning is starting.

Its about 2500 one way for me. $800 or so in fuel and 5 or 6 hard days on the road. If i do make it, it will be in a silver tube hurtling thru the air. I figure a plane ticket and a rental car will be about the same. Not to mention the wear and tear on my backside.  

Where abouts are you located dripley?

North Carolina if I'm not mistaken...

Mike would be right. Hickory NC to be precise. A good bit south of you but still fairly close to a straight shot out there.

Oh ok. I thought you were out west too.

Just another east coaster like yourself. We just talk a little funny down this way.

I think people are nicer down your way too. I haven't spent much time in North Carolina, but I know down in Georgia and Florida they are....

Being that most people talking in the thread here want to get together. Let's start figuring out way of dividing up the US and gathering up people in regions and having get together's.

I'm game! 

 

How did this thread go from "It's nice to have to have a clean bathroom to use anywhere you go" to "most people talking in the thread here want to get together"?

 

 

We all want no more Obamanation for a country we live in and love the smell of diesel. What can I say?

 

 

Did you guys see the riot at the recent Trump rally? They were trying to roll police cars and causing damage. Putting one trump voter in the hospital, looks like he got hit in the head.

But the thing I noticed most was the riot crowd looked like they were all mostly entitlement types, possible freeloaders, living off the working people.

That why there is such problems with riots. For once some is going to cut off the free money to freeloaders and they are getting pissed because they might have to work for once. Heaven forbid...

ya know, if they were forced to work for free for awhile they might appreciate working for money.

 

I blame the parents, and college. 

Yes that and they would be healthier while working and not dwindle off the free healthcare.

we need to scrap that "free healthcare" term.  no such thing as free, pretty simple to understand haha.

I just find it ironically odd how all these poor "violence provoked" rioters are all parading around with similar high quality Trump hating T-shirts holding professionally printed protesting signs.....  What happened to colored pens, Sharpies, and misspellings on poster board?

 

If I wasn't such a mindless drone accepting everything I see plastered across mainstream media.....I may just take a wild guess in assuming that these seemingly haters of capitalism and free enterprise are financially supported by some large secret organization intent on using the public stupidity against ourselves.  Just a theory of course.....
