Northern Virginia Roll Call

I feel your pain. My latest request is to "get me in the ballpark" so I try and figure out what "thing' or 'It" you're talking about. I'll let ya know how it goes....

 

Not that cheap.

 

The stuff I've seen in that range have been parts vehicles. Look outside of Loudon and Fauquier Counties. You may have better luck.

Huge shout out to Adam for hanging on to the Pro Eagle until I could get back here and take it off his hands. Great chatting with you again @ilubtimmyhos, and looking forward to sampling some great beers soon.

 

Adam's a peach.

 

Are you back or just teasing us?

 

Spending some of the FSA money didn't go as planned this year, so I put it to use for the truck. Pretty well thought out first aid kit and a trauma kit. never want to use either, but it's probably good to have when you off road with cell coverage.

Learned me something… Had no clue you could use the FSA card like that. Asked Wifey and she even said yup. She did say something about an FSAstore.com as well.

Check into a good set of shears for the bag. A lot in the Medical field use ‘em. My oldest liked/kept mine for her bag (she liked the orange). I now have the green.

That's a cool leatherman, definitely would be handy to have in the truck.

Happy New Year Tacoma friends!!! All the best in 2023!!!

 

Tessa and Sampson would have joined me in wishing you a Happy New Year, but they just can't hang with the old man I guess.

Happy New Year NOVA!

 

Happy New Year’s all!!

 

Feel like I've been away for almost a month! Anyway, I'm back from work travel and vacation and my living room new years even party I didn't even dress for. hahaha. Back to making the doughnuts! Let's have a great year and do some meet ups!

 

Here's a head-scratcher...

I won't be surprised if this gets thrown out if the lawyer is any good. A court decision in MI a long while back said that unless a police officer had the equipment to measure the sound made by a car they could not make a primary stop to enforce a noise violation. And even as a secondary offense, it still had to measured to see that it exceed legal limits. But this is CA. So who knows. It's not electric so its probably too loud.

 

I've just always had issue with cops saying that something on a car is illegal. Some of the stuff is obvious. Some of the regulations are Federally derived and if you're not familiar with them.... And then you have that most cops don't know jack about cars.

A friend used to own a Mitsubishi EVO. And it came stock with a rather large rear spoiler. He used to get pulled over all the time for it. To the point he carried a brochure with him to show the officers. He still got ticketed.

Another friend had a Dodge Neon SRT-4. They came from the factory without mufflers. Every year at inspection time he would have a fight. And occasionally on the side of the road with an officer that might know a little bit.

I'm curious to see how this turns out. The cop could've certainly handed it better. He's actually the kind of officer that made me want a new career.

 

He does sound a bit like judge, jury, and executioner.
