LOL, yeah especially hauling the old lady and the kid arround too! Trouble 
is that i'd leave so early and return so late that I'd never see my son 
again. Thats just my normal mon-fri job, I'm 102 miles from my weekend job 
that I go to whenever help is needed (which has been every weekend for the 
last two months).

Nope, moved to NC two years ago now. Winston-Salem/Greensboro area, outside 
of Kernersville to be exact-ish.

I haven't operated a non-powered vehicle besides a hand-truck in at least 6 
or 7 years and I'm still barely 145lbs in a 6'3" frame. I even stopped 
playing hockey since I moved two years ago, and to make it worse just got a 
riding lawn mower (about an acre of lawn). If I started riding a bike 
arround I'd end up in great shape to play a role in the next Nazi 
documentary.
