Preamble: This is not Vietnam, there are rules!

Rule 1: New guy carries the shanks.

Rule 2: If you’re posting after 10pm and you have the next day off from work, then the mandatory minimum BAC to post is .06.

Rule 3: Funny memes are encouraged.

Rule 4: If you take posts personal and/or literal when they aren’t intended that way, then you will be exiled to Rupp Rafters.

Rule 5: Making fun of other members is strongly encouraged.

Rule 6: Only drink @DukefanKY tea on your day off if you are required to operate heavy machinery. If you do drink it and operate heavy machinery, you are required to post a video of it on DI.

Rule 7: You must have a firm grasp of message board sarcasm.

Rule 8: Be finny.

Rule 9: Be an A-hole.

.06 BAC required? The hell are we drinking, sex on the beach?

@FearTheBeard, if I'm in PST does that mean I'm automatically opted into the LNC? And if so, does that mean I have to place "LNC" at the end of my posts now? If it does I would like to unsubscribe.

@Showenuff, I like you. You're a staple of this board. I always read your posts when I see them. But to pretend your persona on this board isn't "the tough guy" is to not live in reality. ;)

No obligation to put LNC. It’s optional and only allowed if it’s actually late night.

@Mpm277 what state are you in on the west coast? I don’t think there are a lot of people on this board in the pst. I’m in Oregon.
I'm in San Francisco. My wife has a travel job that took us out here for few months. We drove here from Boston about 3 weeks ago. That.... is a long drive.

I did NY to OR. It is not fun, but I did it in the Summer. I can’t imagine doing it 3 weeks ago if you took I-80. That must have been rough. We did it in 3 days. How long did it take you?

I love that drive. I listened to the Dances with Wolves soundtrack through the Dakotas. But I took a week. I don't do those mountain passes in the winter.

Well to be fair, we stopped and visited some family in KY for a bit to break it up. Drove about 17hrs straight to KY (we've done that trip several times) and then we drove two 12ish hours days from KY to the Grand Canyon, spent a night there, drove up to Vegas and spent two nights there, then about 9 hours or so from Vegas to SF. Fortunately we had nice weather and the drive was pretty beautiful. Oklahoma looks exactly like you'd picture Oklahoma, tho.

What’s your opinion of Washington drivers in the snow vs NY drivers in the snow? I’m in the Willamette Valley, so we don’t get much snow. If we do get even an inch everyone freaks out and has no idea how to drive in the snow. In NY we’d get a whiteout with a foot of snow and people drove like it was no big deal.

We went to SF last April. We went to a Giants/Dodgers game. I couldn’t get over the rent and home prices though. I thought Portland was bad. You could get a 3000 sq ft home in Portland for what you have to pay in rent for a 900 sq ft apartment in SF.

SF is the highest cost of living in the US from what I understand. It wasn't much of a shocker to us since we came from Boston, which is supposed to be the third highest. I try not to think about what we were paying when we lived in rural Kentucky...
