I'm sure that you can relate...From your past posts I know that you have also been giving `up a lot to get your degree's and you are still working hard to finish....It seems nothing good in our lives are E.Z> 4-Sure...

I still want to go back & get my Master's when my g/f finishes her doc degree : ) My grandfather taught me that "Dreams are where we want to `go & work is how I'll get there"..., I am following his teachings, cause I've never found him to be wrong...."I've tried"
Thanks for your post/concerns/interest and all your contributions to our Monte Carlo Family...
Peace/Happy ~>`Out : )
Good for her. You both are giving up to get, just don't forget to enjoy a little down time. When you are ready for a break fly out to Oregon and I will show you around the state. I wont have much for house, but you would be welcome to come and visit and crash land there. I am sure Keith and I could show you some beautiful country.

BUT, we don't get ANY rain in the summer, so i'm waiting till September to replace them. And, because I know my tires are not the greatest, I have been keeping in the 80-85 range most of the time. i've been avoiding 107 lately. LOL...I can't wait to put the new tires on! haha

I would pay money to hear you say that to a cop explaining your way out of a jam.

Yep they sit in that area where you can drive across the highway...or a little bit passed the tree area in that other turn around area. I've seen them several times in both areas.

And like I said, my tires really are not in bad condition for dry weather, no bumps, bulges, etc. (The shouldn't be they are only 1.5 years old. LOL) But I definitely would not trust them in even the smallest amount of wet weather. I actually have new tires, i'm just waiting to put them on until the summer weather is almost over.

Lou, you are right, I definitely would not have much of a case if a cop pulled me over and wanted to get picky about my tires. But i've been pulled over a lot, and never had a cop even look at my tires. Now I knock on wood that doesn't happen!
