Yup. Used almost 3 weeks. With the august trip, I might have a week left for the rest of the year. Usually.i take the last two weeks of the year off. Been doing that for 20 years. Guess this year I might get to take off a day or two....

Fun experience but I now feel much older than I did before I went.

I couldn't bring myself to pay $12 for a 24oz beer or a $7.50 bottle of water but there were plenty of other folks who were willing to enjoy it at that price.

Sunday we went to Hot Metal Harley over in West Mifflin after getting boondoggled at Rivers Casino since the West End Bridge was closed for some kind of bicycle event and we had to re-route through the Oakland side of the city. A little sketchy at times.

We got lost and drove through Oakland. Talk about sketchy! Even saw a shopping cart missing it's wheels. Didn't think it was an appropriate time to be snapping pics.

Probably on some half-assed low rider.

With traffic now in Pgh sucks. There is construction on every main road in and out of the city. You have to plan far ahead so you not late tocstuff. I go through the city to go to work. I go an Hour early to beet it.
Every city has its bad areas. Oakland isn't that bad. A can show you lot worse places...
Lol
What concert did you see and where at?

Glo took her car in to get the next due service done before the trip. Big deal, right? Well they replaced a tire that had a screw in it without insisting on replacing all 4 tires!! That was the first shock. The 2nd shock came when they sent a video they took of their inspection of the car showing her what they looked at and whether or not they recommended doing any other work. Pretty cool, IMHO.
