Mike thanks for the info!! Will make it over once we kind of get settled. Meeting with the relocation team early next week to know what we bring and what they take care of. Then we'll head out there to begin looking for a new home - WITH a garage!
And YES David... being on the right coast makes all the difference when the news is on at 5-6PM and not Letterman does make it feel like home!
the miles... ok I was driving about 95 miles per day round trip, if I just took the "normal" route to the office in Little Rock. Then when I was checking out this position in El Paso I made frequent drives out which started the ol'odometer spinning as the speed limits on I30 & I20 and then to I10 were just about right for the Mark I to cruise at! After getting through Dallas other than the speeds its really just a long ride into the desert.
Add in a trip or so to upstate NY and a few side trips each day - for stuff at the store, a LOT of driving around town in El Paso to find a house, and the miles started to climb a bit faster than I had thought they would.
I had kind of expected with the road trips cut back a bit that the miles would very slowly climb but not this quickly.
Usually I have been putting on about 40,000 miles a year on the ol"Mark I, now with these extra trips I'm ... per usual ... just a tad over my usual mileage amount as approved by Dave Smith!
I wonder if FFR has gotten that new extended mileage warranty written up yet???
