Glad you made it home safe dude. I'm sure Emily's pretty ecstatic now that you're back.

so I thought it might be time to rotate the tires... (slight vibration) or maybe I lost a wheel wieght... so I go ahead with that and notice both my right side tires are worn pretty bad on the inside... and not from camber... cuase the left side was fine... turns out I did have a casualty from my trip... my right rear shock is done.. oil everywhere.. boooo... the tires are almost showing thread.. not quite but closer than I think I would like..

So I guess it's time to look into some new stuff...

How did their heat compare to Snotsdale's?:impatient

I was going to suggest wearing a diaper, but you have much better luck with women than some.
