Biking 2:22:37 28.15 mi (11.8 mph) +206m
ahr:143 max:177 slept:8.0 shoes: Jamis Dragon Sport 29er
I have looked at every conceivable house, and may conceivable sports cars, so I decided to be productive and get some Epic training in.
Green was 69:52, so I'm off by ~5-7 minutes - not a surprise given my spring and summer thus far. Hopefully I can sharpen up a bit - mostly I think I need more gravel grinding because I think I lost the time doing ~15 mph on the flats instead of 18+ needed to set a good lap.
Spring Mill lot was FULL!

Currently 0 for 5 on houses.
#1 - odd musty smell and weirdness and missing garage and missing a/c took away all points for exterior character
#2 - Everything was great! Except the price was high and the basement must take on water from time to time
#3 - The weirdness of a house not much bigger than our current house formerly being a THREE unit rental coupled with a spectacular view of the much nicer condos behind it...meh
#4 - I thought we could get into a slightly beat up house...but my word. I don't know how they managed to quite trash that place in the way they did. The selling realtor had thoughtfully left a renovation estimate of just $150k to tack onto the purchase price. It's still easy to get equity free six figure loans, rightt?
#5 - Kimberly fell in love, but I voted no thanks because of the cat currently living there. Can't much ride a bike to work if you wake up wheezy for the next five years.
Kicking myself for not applying myself the last 14 years at FoMoCo so I could be in the next salary grade and we could just get a nice no issues place in whatever location. Not sure how much longer we pursue Location #1 before retreating back to something else, like giving up and heading to Brighton to minimize 2/3rds of the family's commute and screwing 1/3rd.

If we can't get Plymouth to work, Igor's neighborhood has nice houses.
