I've been Downingtown a few times. (The QA/Service Assurance facility next to Lowes and down the hill from the building with all the white Comcast trucks.) My company stuffs engineers from Taiwan in the little vendor room to run test plans for CPE gear. The lab in that building is amazing. I guess there's a distaster recovery section of the building but vendors don't get access to that. In October, I'll probably be living there or over in Moorestown for most of the month.

When I'm driving distance for business, I usually just rent a car rather than trash mine. I'm running a project done by subcontractors in Sherbrooke, Quebec and get there fairly often. From my summer place, it's a car-destroying 5 hour drive and an almost-as-bad 3 hour drive from KMart. Hertz seems to be giving me Camrys these days. Not as fun to drive as a VW GTI but plenty comfortable enough and it has an Aux jack to plug in my iPod.
There's really no DR there. In fact, most of the gear in the lab is stuff already removed from production. The lab sucks these days. Can't get anything approved in a timely manner.

I'm off to Bensalem, PA again. 4 days of back to back driving. As of yesterday, I'm at 675 miles for the week. By the time I get home today, it will be close to 800. The seats in my Escape are starting to become unsupportive. I've been test driving some new cars because I figure if I'm going to be doing all of this driving around, I might as well have something a little more fun and a lot more comfortable to drive. I've thought about renting a car, but that's too much of a pain for me.

Mapping out the hike my two brothers and I are doing next week in Colorado. GoogleEarth is so much fun.
So not interested in work at the moment.

It's amazing what they can do with eyes! At least, I think it is. :D Glad to hear it was uncomplicated and quick!

Ouch. My head hurts. Hoping that ibuprofen kicks in soon because I have to bake 72 cupcakes and a triple batch of whoopie pies today, plus run some last minute party errands.
