50 miles out, no way! 49 miles...well that's an entirely different story!

Maybe - I just drove 800 miles yesterday to pick up a new-to-me Day-Date.

No, I would call my wife and ask if I did leave my watch and if so put it away. If not I just might turn back to find my watch. Since I would be hooking it home in fifty miles on the interstate (if we had one on Kauai) I could be back with in 35 minutes. Get my watch and continue on my trip.

A couple hours of my time and six gallons of diesel, again, no; hell no. I'd be saying, "doing without is good punishment for being a dumbass."

Either way ther would be a watch on my wrist...

Probably not unless I had to go back and make sure the coffee pot was off too. On the off chance I'd forget going to work I wouldn't go back but it would kill me all day. Missing it for 5 days would be bad. This topic is another reason to just sleep with it on, no more forgetting it in the am that way.

Depending on the price, I will even go to the house of the ill repute if the deal is good enough....
