If I didn't have to work back to back doubles Friday and Saturday I'd consider coming to the shoot considering winamac is half the distance for me now.

When I worked downtown I hated riding the train.

I hated the commute time when I worked downtown. However, I often slept on the train or played video games, so I tried to make the best of it.

I sure loved the Chicago money, though. There's no way you'd get me to give up what I have now in exchange for all of that again, though. I now have a 2-minute commute, by bicycle or car.

(Completely off-topic, but does this forum have the ability to display emoji unicode?
EDIT - Clearly not, as I tried to include an emoji.)

Call me "new-school", but the smilies available on this forum are a little dated.

If you use the brackets on the right hand side of the text box I think you can.

Could this be true?! (Insert emoji here: ️)

EDIT - Nope, my raccoon emoji didn't translate.

Can you download it to your device? That is what I do.

 

[actaeon277]

Damn.
The old guy knows how.

I may be old, but I'm slow...

Huh?

I see the forum's smilies here. Are you on mobile or the Tapatalk app? Maybe that's why you can see them?

 

[2A_Tom]

I have all of my devices set for desktop view.

I can post pics 4 ways.

1. Copy and paste.
2. Click on the single picture for URL linked pics.
3. Click on the double picture for URL linked videos.
4. Download to my device and hit attach files at the bottom.

Man, I avoid 80/94 as much as possible. And they have shutdown the ramps to Indianapolis blvd. till June. Just think of all that truck traffic that accesses the boulevard. Has to go somewhere.

Only the ramp going toward chiraq coming from the south is affected by this.

So not as much truck traffic as you think. Most trucks get off on the exchange coming from IL and hit that truck stop for gas and then continue on the highway with no issues.

It's mainly cars from south lake county that use that ramp to go to chiraqi and with it closed it's good cause those southern lake county snobs go elsewhere.

Also less IL folks hitting the walmart there as well.

Good to know about the ramp!

They are working 3 shifts to get it repaired from the looks of it. They have the portable lights going at 3AM when jedi passes that ramp. Been like that for at least 1 week. Looks like the bridge has some issues.

I don't even remember when I filed my change of address and requested a new LTCH card but I JUST got an email saying it's been sent.

And in other news, I suggest "Bridge" be Jedi's new nickname.

You didn't need to report the move. The black helicopters recorded the move and sent the info in for you.

Way back in time I moved after registering for the draft. I received a letter from the Selective Service System at my new address telling me it was a violation of a bunch of federal laws to not report my change of address to them and included the form for doing so. The letter was addressed to me at the NEW address and not forwarded. Of course they might have paid less attention to me if I had not written "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" in a big space on my registration form marked "For Official Use Only - Do Not Write in this Space". The letter also contained a new registration form for me to complete "properly" and threats to arrest me if I failed to do so.

No black helicopters involved. I think.
