OT Where is everybody from?

[JoelOkie]

Born and raised here on the same place I live....located in rural SE Pawnee County, Oklahoma. My mail is out of Terlton, the closest "town", about 60 souls, give or take a few.

My 1st wife died of cancer in 2007 and I re-married, to a girl from/born/raised in Washington State, where her family still lives. I have been out there with her once thus far...I like it, it's beautiful country. I always note members from Washington State, and ask her if she has heard of the places they are from, when it is given. She has known about almost all the places, thus far. Thinking maybe I might get to meet some of them when we are out there this next spring.

Also planning to get together and do some cruising with LuckyDevil, who started this thread. Joel

Well my location is already on the map so to speak in the post above. However Dave (dkopesky) is in the same area as I am. Planning a trip over to his house in the near future(possibly tomorrow) to take a look at his improvements and give my thoughts on re-wiring his car.

By your standards you're probably far away from Oklohoma Ave that runs through the south side of the Milwaukee Metro area.

Norm and I, along with a few others, are in the Milwaukee Metro / Southeast Wisconsin area.

Truer words were never spoken.:D After being on the road so much when younger, I like to stay close to home now. Just ask the wife. She'll tell you it's like pulling teeth to get me to go somewhere. Traded my van in on that new car August 21st. I just flipped a whole 800 miles on the odometer in it the other day. In my younger days I'd do that in a week or so.

I live in Marmora, NJ down in south Jersey. Born in Randolph, NJ. Haven't gotten too far.(can't now I think my daughter and son would stage revolt if they had to part form the shore).

I've done more than 800 miles in a day... on my motorcycle...

I've got a long one coming up. On the 12th or 13th I'll be heading down to Asheville, NC for training at Volvo. (760 miles one way) When I leave there on Thursday I'll be heading north to Mainsburg, PA to inspect a machine. Another 685 miles) and then head home from there. (780 miles) I'll probably have close to 2500 miles driven in a week's time.

Merle,

I wasn't talking about trips like you mentioned. I was talking every day in my younger days. Back then, just working locally in Milwaukee I'd put on at least 100 or more miles per day, 52 weeks per year. Usually only worked in the Milwaukee area about 3 or 4 days per month. All the rest of the time I'd be somewhere between the Canadian border down to the southern tip of Illinois, or from Kansas to Ohio. Did that from 1968 to 1990. Traveling gets kind of old when you do that, it's no fun anymore. Same goes for eating out. Had my fill of that over those years too. All the menu's start looking alike after awhile, and no matter what you order it's just ho hum.

As for motorcycles. I had two from 1979 through 1988. Only put about 800 miles on the first one and about 1200 on the second one. Just didn't have time to ride them as I was gone all the time. That's why I got rid of them.

Usually the wife gets me to go somewhere in the country on vacation, plus our trip to Kentucky. This year I got lucky though. Got away without any trips, except to Kentucky. That said, I did tell the wife I'll take more time to take more trips next year.

for those that are replying here to this thread and listing your address...why not make it easy on everyone and update you profile to reflect that info...no one is asking for the street addy..just general location to a spot on the map somewhere...it is so handy when someone is asking a question etc and may slip and forget to post the make of his car or if asking for parts, is it going to be cost effective to ship..I source the profile for this info and if listed can usually tailor an answer around his specific model..

What Tim said.

[1940plymouth]

I included the town I live in this morning, hopefully I did it right

[1940plymouth]

My last name is Drown and we live in Neversink,NY, boy do we get some laughs over that when we are asked where we live. The funny thing is that the original town of Neversink is under a reservoir that supplies drinking water to NYC. Some of the buildings that were in the original town were relocated to the present village back in the late '40's early '50's
