I would say once a month I will have a client needing an inspection outside my general service area. Yesterday was one of these times.
I enjoy the new scenery. This was in a place called Newton Falls about 60 miles east of my residence. The zip for this area is 44444.
I had the best pizza at a local convenient stop. The house was basically better than around here and I actually completed the report a lot sooner than I usually do.
I have now inspected in 12 counties. (Cuyahoga, Medina, Lake, Lorain, Summit, Portage, Geauga, Wayne, Stark, Erie, Huron and now Trumbull)
I did one in Sandusky yesterday morning, which is about 2 hrs. away. Had an awesome view of Cedar Point. Unfortunately, “the boss” said that amusement park fun doesn’t constitute a legit expenditure for the business account.:neutral:
Doesn’t she know that all work and no play makes Josh a dull boy?
Cedar Point is the Roller Coaster capital of the world. I used to go once a year until I turned 18 and moved out of state.
Last time I went, 2001, the crowds were ridiculous and I remember waiting in line for a coaster ride for 3 hours.
They can keep the title and the crowds and I’ll stick to Kings Island where average wait times for coasters are 45 minutes give or take and instead of a great lake as a view, I’ll have to settle for the hills of SW Ohio.
For the most part I’m in Baltimore metro, but there are beautiful areas out in the counties I love driving through. Once in a blue moon I’ll cross the bay bridge to the eastern shore which I love doing, I’ll try and do a morning inspection and then waterfront lunch on the Chesapeake. Now that’s a nice day!
County lines for me are a meer, Oh Look, I’m in another one… LOL! I go to about 16 counties… there’s just not any inspectors out here, but it’s a good mile or so between houses, so although it seems like a large territory, it’s not all that lucrative just yet. Of course, I just started not quite a year ago, so maybe I’ll shrink as I get booked more and more…
Last time I went to Kings Island it was little kids day (like 6 and under) so all of the little kid rides were packed and all the good coasters were empty. Get off walk back around to the start and wait for the next coaster to arrive. Had a blast that day. Nothing beats aerobatics in a small plane though. :lol:
