Where is everyone #5

True story: A few years back I left Houston and was coming up on the outskirts of College Station in some one-lane construction. There’s a decent size doe on the right just watchin traffic roll by.

All the sudden, for no apparent reason, she gets excited, takes a couple of running steps and jumps right over the little sports car in front of me. Never touched it. Landed between a couple of barrels on the left and disappeared across the median as I went by.

I’m not sure the driver of the car knew what happened.

 

How often do you get a State Policeman to help you work on your ride...? He wants to learn mechanical things so bad, I try to contribute to his knowledge every chance I get. He sure learned me a lot yesterday too... in his line of work.

 

That's awesome you have that opportunity!!

 

Are you training him on what's good n bad for the DOT or what?

 

Lol.. he did ask a lot of ??'s. He told me stories of truckers he has busted in recent years for various things. One driver was pulling a refer unit, .... keep in mind this policeman with me here is the K9 cop...
Said he pulled a trucker over with the Reefer. Suspected there was a problem from guys attitude and log book. Guy finally signs paper allowing a search of the truck, told me he locked the right side trailer door in the open position with his handcuffs as a lock... didn't take a chance of the trucker locking him in that cold reefer lol. And as he crawled to the front of the trailer he found the drugs!!

I ask him... you reckon they will ever force Elog on everyone with no exemptions for anything? He looked at me and said... yes, a few ######### are going to ruin it for guys like you!

Keep in mind he ask me questions as I worked on my truck, although we are freinds... I made sure I gave a proper answer. There is a small airport out back, plane takes off and my buddy ask him... can they tracked those planes? Lol, he proved that to be no problem!!! Got the number on the plane and used an App to find out who owned it, where they lived, where it came from, altitude, and speed. Told me a few other things too... amazing the technology they have!!
When @Logan76 was down I showed him some of their seized vehicles... VERY VERY NICE!!! Love to have the boat back in the shop... still has a check engine oil tag on the steering wheel lol, found over 200lbs of baled weed in it and the truck pulling it. Y'all be safe out there.

 

Very cool. Talk about real world experience and instruction, at least he's not in a classroom somewhere watching a stoopid video.

 

Good to have freinds in "low places"
He is very level headed, that's a good thing... for many.

 

That’s a great!!!!!

 

Outta bed at Stockyard truck stop in Parsons. Over slept, I better get a move on

 

Got these out of the scrap yard a couple of years ago. They are way better quality than the new stuff but they are well used. I did the best I could to get the polished up. Original next to one I already did.
