I drive her hard

I guess I really didn't know how many miles I put on the car when I'm in town. But at 22.5k miles I guess I'm having so much fun on my country runs, I never realized it.

I don't even want to go into how 2013 was like.

2014
January- out of town 25 out of 31 days
February-out of town 14 out of 28 days
March- will be out of town 27 out of 31 days

So when I'm in town, I drive her HARD! And I'm rewarded afterwards.

I hear you man. I travel about half of the time. Airlines, hotels, and rental car companies love people like us. One cool thing about all the travel is the contrast we get to experience each time we get into our car back home. My drive home from the airport after being in a rental Altima all week is... rewarding, to say the least. Our own luxury rocket ship waits for us to come home.

Very cool. I'd never even heard of this job before. Is this a representative sample of what your job entails?

Typically, a gamekeeper is employed by a landowner, and often in the UK by a country estate, to prevent poaching, to rear and release game birds such as common Pheasants and French partridge, eradicate pests, encourage and manage wild red grouse, and to control predators such as weasels, to manage habitats to suit game, and to monitor the health of the game".

Does that answer the question, old chap, wot?
