    OK so basically if I end up landing a job in the general vicinity of Sky Harbor being a piece of shit out in Fountain Hills is gonna be a long commute. I figured as much but damn is it ever pretty out there.

    I'm spending my weekends sending out resumes and trying to get in contact with more people. January is so grey and depressing here, I'm 100% done.

    The hardest thing about fountain hills, is the one main road taking you to the majority of the homes, leads to a lot of traffic/lights to stop at. Not as pretty but awatukee, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert would give you on average bigger and cheaper priced houses.

    I work about 2 miles from sky harbor. I would say the commute to it is far worse coming from the west side (Avondale Peoria glendale) rather than the east side. (Mesa chandler Gilbert) fountain hills will just be a long commute anyway you look at it cause it's 20 min alone just to get to the freeway

    Drop shipping makes things much easier, I need to get into some of that. FBA can be good as well.

    The 202 going home always seems to slow around Greenfield. Not sure why it drives me nuts. Depending on when I leave in the morning it can take anywhere from 40 minutes to over an hour to go 32 miles downtown.

    I hardly remember the 2 strokes. Once I was old enough to pay attention an know what was happening they only were racing a few of them.


    A2 was good. Once Kroc crashed it was just dungy an he took it away he's to consistent

    That honda looks like it likes to buck. It'll be interesting to see how the Hondas do back east when things get rutted and choppy..

    Oh hell no!!!! The TurtleBack is here to stay! OK, probably in Storage to stay!

    SWEET!!!!! They looked awesome in person, but so do you!!!!

    Sometimes I need a babysitter!

    Asking the wrong dudes.... You gotta learn who can spring for what and when! On the other hand... I have a rule... "Gotta be older than my daughters!"

    I went through a few iterations of my suspension... different coils, different shocks.... It has never ridden as smooth as it does now with the spindles and coilovers with no prelift. The spindles are not that much $, and are tough as shit!!!

    20 minutes to 202 down 87 from the center of Fountain Hills, 25 minutes to 101 down Shea. Time of day has little to no effect. At 7:30 AM, 202 heading to Sky from 87 is pretty bad after 101 overpass, so that could be a crappy commute.

    Fountain Hills has 3 main roads out. Palisades, Fountain Hills Blvd, and Saguaro. In and out of FH is a breeze unless the libs are protesting Trump! I used to live in VA Beach, and my 8 mile drive took 25 to 30 minutes. It SUCKED. I hate sitting still in traffic. Here, everything is 25 - 35 minutes away (assuming its not IN Fountain Hills) but its always a clam, beautiful drive. I do not care, I love the space and feel of Fountain Hills. The views are everywhere! Also, some descent wheeling around the corner, and at least one cool resident!!!

    I ended up babysitting 12 boys by the time I left. I don't know how the group grew, but it did.

    My dad has kids your age. :rolleyes:
    (I'm the baby and hopefully last accident)

    Looks great. I also agree it is time to blackout the bumpers.
