NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[crookcountygo]

Because it's a 55mph speed limit, the construction zone east of 41 is a 45mph limit, and cars all want to do 80mph+ thru there, and truckers, who should damn well know better, try it at 70mph.
If drivers maintained a medium level of lane discipline, it could still work moderately well, but the constant lane changing, and drifting without signalling, causes people to pound the brakes, slowing the overall flow, and causing numerous accidents.

Here's a foreign concept.....do the speed limit, keep a safe following distance, and maintain your lane, and the collision rate would drop 80%.

You lost me at “do the speed limit.” Fair points otherwise.

Not me. It’s the idiots doing less than the speed limit in the left lane. If I’m not passing, I’m not in the left lane.

Roof tear-off going on as we speak. My vehicles are parked in the back yard. The dogs are going nuts with the sound of guys walking all over the roof. They should finish by end of day. New roof, new gutters, new gutter guards.

OK, we're pounding now, so I guess the new roof has begun.

might want to just take the dogs for a walk or to the dog park for a while

Yeah, I took them for a walk already . We'll probably go out again in an hour or so.

Talking about 80/94 nightmares, I have a franchise crew at my shop for two weeks, doing the transition to new ownership. They all come from up in the Naperville area, and I tried telling them how to avoid 80/94, but do they listen? No, they'd rather trust GoogleFu maps or whatever they use, and sit in traffic every day. I'm all out of ***** to give, at this point.

who did you end up using?

M&M. I had three estimates, and they were the middle one. (Actually I got four estimates, but one never emailed me the estimate, even when I told them I didn't get it. Not in spam or junk folder.) Lifetime warranty on labor and materials. Please don't tell me who I should or shouldn't have gone with, because it's moot now.

 

[jedi]

So.... did the green and red m&m shows up? Or some other colors for your roof?
