an eventful saturday

so i went to get my motorcycle license today, but the computers were down, so i told them that if i got pulled over i was blaming them and left.
then, i went over to grissom afb to watch one of my pledge brothers race. i got to ride shotgun too! it was intense.
then i went to lafayette to do some landscaping at phi psi. that was pretty cool. we priced flooring and stuff at home improvement-esque stores. then i visited with gma. that was cool. she's getting along alright. she's having some difficulties with her leg i think, but she's managing really well, all things considered.

now comes the cool part. if you're wondering if my motorcycle can make it to west lafayette and back on one tank of gas, rest assured that it can't. it has roughly a 4 gallon tank, and it can go 123.4 miles. as luck would have it, i ran out of gas right by this sign:

ironic, no?
and as much as i love pushing my bike around in 90+ degree weather and fabled indiana humidity, i need to look into getting some sort of half gallon storage tank to carry around on these "long" journies.
well, you learn new stuff everyday, i guess.
