BulletRC Sophomore Author Mobile Posts:175 Points:260,245 Joined:Jun 2012	Message Posted: May 13, 2013 5:27:35 AM Ignore BulletRC Report Abuse Weekdays, I post & update to & from work. Saturday & Sunday, I rise & shine early just to go posting. The reason I do this is because I see locations that don't get updated often enough, so I get out to make a big difference.

traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,254 Points:538,215 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Apr 16, 2013 11:17:01 AM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse I have two routes to my son's apartment in Dorchester: one very direct, and another not-quite-so-direct. So I typically take one route down, and the other one back. I'll post eight or ten stations between the two legs of the trip.

cogas1 Veteran Author Colorado Posts:409 Points:334,965 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: Feb 24, 2013 9:30:00 AM Ignore cogas1 Report Abuse I don't ever take longer routes, but if there are 3-4 ways to get home, which all amount to driving more or less the same distance but simply turning on different blocks, I might specifically take a route where I pass a station or two so I can knock down some prices.
