So nothing to do with the Ex, it's sitting until i need it again.

Today we had slow downs with traffic due to road closures, this is the closest I've ever been to a U.S. President. I'm not a fan of him but it's pretty cool to have the President in my state.

They shipped up two Limos and a bunch of Armored Suburbans. Downtown Anchorage Monday afternoon.

It's cool not because of the man holding the position, but because of the respect the position and office commands.

I got to shake President Clinton's hand back in the late 90's

I was surprised how easy it was to pop the pump. I was having thoughts of the old IDI pumps. It was easier than changing oil!

Got a new addition for the Excursion. Going right down on the driver's seat by the seatbelt buckle receiver. If someone tells me to unbuckle and get out that I don't necessarily want to agree with, I have a little surprise waiting for when I reach over to unbuckle.

Absolutely no concealed or carrying of handguns up here in Canada, so this is the best I can do within the law. I know you guys with the nifty holsters under the steering wheel are rolling your eyes, but c'est la vie.

But if I didn't have that I would have gotten the tool above.

Nate, I played high school and college football and my weapon of choice was a nice magnesium baseball bat. Of course I kept a glove in the back seat in case I got pulled over and questioned. lol

If someone is asking me to get out of my Ex and they are holding a knife I would drive off and give them the bird. If someone hints they have a gun they are screwed, ever since my health has been in question I dont have time to put up with much bs.

Best part of living like me is my daughters boyfriend knows this! Priceless
