    Friday afternoon project, gave her another piece of jewelry, then my parents took her to the Sand Sports Super Show without me! Oh, and I stopped by Camburg with my dad and met Jerry, really nice guy!

    14 doesn't make much sense, unless yo aren't calculating for bigger tires and/or drive like a madman. I admittedly don't know the backstory...

    I put refelctive tape like that inside the lid of my tool box so I can use it if I break down by opening the lid but hidden otherwise.
