Made me think about the radio commercial where the guy talks about his 6 hour commute (driving) from Schenectady to Manhattan and back...'My family loves Schenectady, and I love books on tape'.

Damn. And here I get pissy when it takes longer than 40 minutes to drive all the way home. Glad I don't live in New England.

So many people up here commute insane distances. I know so many people that commute from the cape to boston, which on a good day is at least 2 hours.

Mostly because real estate values are insane. crappy rowhouses can cost nearly a million depending on location near boston.

At least I can say that 30 minutes of my commute it's like this:

Mass is without a doubt quite beautiful. I like getting off I-495 at Route 9 and driving through Framingham, Natick, and then all the way into Boston. I also like driving out to the Cape Cod National Seashore, and then on to Provincetown....not to mention Mass Pike all the way west to the state line. I heard about the 'dream-like frosting' on the Berkshires via Sweet Baby James long before I ever saw them (and still haven't seen them during winter). I just don't think I could take those winters (or the Leftism ) on a regular basis.

Oh come on, it is so fun knowing everyone around you is more than likely a total imbecile.

I never really understood how wonderful the scenery was until I lived in Florida for a few years.

I'd have to live just over the border in New Hampshire. I like living in what some consider the most conservative county in Texas (and 3rd most conservative in the U.S.) while watching the folly of the City of Houston gouging many residents and wasting the money they soak out of them in the form of taxes and fees. The only bad thing is that it's hard to keep our oasis of sanity a secret...between 2000 and 2010 we were the 24th fastest growing county in the United States. I tell some people that if someone wanted to torture me, all they'd have to do is force me back to California to pay taxes toward so many things that I am against.

IIRC, you lived near Orlando area. I remember thinking the Lake Dora area (not super close) is pretty, but not many of the other areas around Orlando. I do like Florida though....Pinellas County....St. Augustine/St. Augustine Beach....parts of the 30A between Panama City and Destin....Ameilia Island......Lake Worth + parts along the A1A between Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale.....The Keys.....and Sanibel Island/Captiva Island and some of the other nearby islands. I think parts of Florida are beautiful, but it is a different kind of beauty than that found in Massachusetts. In the past, I've thought about (in a few years) buying a small additional place in Palm Harbor or Dunedin (Pinellas County), but I now think buying an RV (and primarily taking it to resorts in that area but having the option to meander to other parts of Florida that I'm familiar with) might be a better option.

2 Project(s) going on!

1.- My little brother is a music engineer (or something like that) works at a recording studio in Boston, and I'm having him put together some amazing tracks for SQMusic

I designed them and he is making them come alive, so far what I heard it's incredible exactly what I was looking for tuning, demos, or testing systems!

More to come!


2.- I already have 4-5 cars deaden under my wait, from the Yaris of course, a couple Prious, Old chevy van, and now.... I'm going to work on a TESLA!


All this keeps pushing my install and I already have so much work from my main job. But the CLA will get an SQ system sooner or later!

Sqcomp, I saw the picture of your speakers at home, and I'm curious to have your feedback, I was going to buy the same kit!

45 MPG possible?




Seasons change...
