Ok... so here is how my day started YESTERDAY:

Came into work...driving the cager (suburban)...

Did my usual investigative reports from what road patrol turned in...

Went to lunch... and got a call that my grandfather had passed away...

Drove the cager about 90 miles west..

Did the family meet and greet... and was ordered to go back home so that I could be in GRAD. Class. As it was my Grandfathers wish for me to graduate with my Masters as I will be the ONLY one with it.

So... I drive home make it to class to EVEYONES suprise...

After class... I head to the apartment garage... and say... ahhh what the crap.. its only 945 pm... Lest take the 04 XB9R out for a spin.

Get it out on the road to the gate.. and notice the front end is like a dump truck with flat tires...

I keep it at normal speeds for about 4 miles and think.... crap.... this thing is NOT wanting to turn...

Soo... I stop at the gas station... KNOWING that it has to be my tires.... I check the pressure...

FRONT - approx 20 lbs.
REAR - approx 25 lbs.

YEAH... NOT Goood.... I put the right amount of air in... and HOLD ON BABY... cause she was AWAKE and READY to turn.

Made a few miles out of her and had some fun... got home around 11pm or so... COLD!!! but what fun....

Now... getting ready to head out for the Viewing/Funeral later this evening and tomorrow....

XB9R can make anyone happy, even after that. I could be having the worst time and all I wanna do is ride my Firebolt. Sorry to hear about your grandpa, I don't even got any grandparents left.

+1 on the college thing to, I'm the 3rd on in my fam to actually graduate and get an AA, or even go to college at all. Masters is gonna get you mad $$$$$!!!
