    ok so yesterday i leave my place at 4AM for a lil trip down south. i wake up check weather i see rain. i say i can deal with rain. so i leave. stop to get gas. lady ask me to help put spare on, i get dirty a lil and wet but shes happy and she gives me a free newspaper, YEAH!.... i get on road by 430.... i drive and drive till i get about 50 miles out of grapevine and signs say its closed again, which it did say was open at 4am when i checked. so i back track to 46 jet across to highway 101 and take the lil scenic route. was suppose to get to my destinatoion by 11 and didnt arrive til almost 2. so got my stuff done. told me about 2 hours and i could get some sleep in the conf. room so they gave me the tour and i went to lay down. by the time i just get comfertable it done. damn 30 min.... no sleep. so i get back on road about 4pm. hit highway 5 about 545.... again grapevine closed so back across to 101 and back home. encountered highway patrol closing road 3x due to flooding and after all said and done was home around 2am. all i can say is im tired and worn out and my car has a softball size dent in bumper that took the paint off during a hail storm. knocked out one of my psi sensors for my airbags, small chips all over hood and roof but my car is hapy cause of her updated mod

    what a day!!!!!
