I know what you mean man - 4 hours from
Va beach to Farmville to go duck hunting is a long azz day....leave the house at 3 am to get there by 7 am...hunt til dark and drive home at 5 to get home at 9 pm is a long long 18 hour day indeed ......but its because we want to do these things......
like when I was in the Navy and we worked an 18 hour day, everyday, 7 days a week for mnths on end at a time.....
thats the way I look at it ya know.....yesterday I drove 2 hours, fished 3 hours and drove home 2 hours......
