Hey everyone, kinda slow in here this morning. Took Chase to his comm service and got pulled over on the way there....... got popped doing 57 in a 45 and for not having current proof of ins on me. Ins is easy to clear up, I just have to go to the court house on a Friday and show proof. I couldn't believe the fine for the no ins ticket, its $965 and the speeding fine is $260. I am glad I don't have to pay those! Traffic school is $170, that's enough for me.

How's everyone else doing this morning?

It was a short little round motorcycle cop, his chin was under my window. lol. I was in my truck. As soon as I saw him I slowed down and pulled into the nearest parking lot, I knew I was getting at least 1 ticket. I was quick enough to take off my sunglasses and put on my reg glasses to avoid that ticket though

Chase was all fired up when I got pulled over, he was pissed off at the cop. I had to remind him that it was MY fault not the cops I was speeding. The cop was kinda rude to me but I just think he was jealous of my truck. LMFAO.

Sucks to hear about Mark. I don't even know what else to say...


On Jim: He said he'd get my cell # off the RHN and call me as soon as he could to let me know he's ok. So when I get the call you guys will be the first to know.

I just had to go pick up Chase, I rolled a little coal for Mark. I am still at a loss for words. It is like losing a family member to me.

I dont know if you should tell him about mark right away... I feel like you should, but i wouldnt want to be the one to tell him... Especially after surgery.

I'm not planning to tell him. He doesn't need that kind of stress right after surgery. He'll find out on his own when he is well enough to be online. I'll play it by ear.

If he asks about him, which I doubt he will, I'll tell him the truth though. But I'm not going to put any unnecessary stress on him right now.
