Not much you can do to help Cris, unless you can get me the winning lotto numbers. Gotta write a big check to THEIRS tomorrow, gotta write a big check for the kiddos college next month, gotta bunch of little checks to write, but the big one tomorrow has me in a foul mood.

I heading up the road and check my sideviews(love the '08 tow mirrors), hes coming up behind me. I knew then he was after me. I couldnt figure out what the hell I'd done. So I get the blue light special. I pull into a parking and he comes up and gives me the run down and tells me he's pulling me over for window tint. Window tint! WTF!! As I'm handing him my registration I tell him to be my guest and check it(with a smartazz smirk). He goes to run my registration and while hes doing that he comes back with his little meter and sticks it on my window. You guys should have seen the look on his face when it said I was LEGAL!!!
I had to give him the I told you so look. He then apologizes and sends me on my way. He was actually fairly nice compared to other guys that have pulled me over.

So here is the kicker. He was sitting in the exact same spot as the cop that got me for my window tint on a Ford ranger I had back in '99. But wait it gets better....In '99 I was caught on my way to work one morning while I was on spring break. Guess what.....spring break is this week here for our schools.

I'm pretty d@mn sure that it was a Tuesday that I got caught. Hows that for a coinky dink?

I got pulled not 3 days after I got back in VA from AL. I got my windows tinted in AL but I asked them to make sure they were legal in VA. I couldnt believe it either. I think they had just gotten the fancy lil meters and he wanted someone to test it out on. I was legal and went on my way as well...

Meanwhile, just across town, a crackhead snatched some old lady's purse and made off with her SS check. Too bad Mr. Policeman wasn't out chasing real criminals instead of hassling a working man for "dark windows".

we have tint laws here also...35% front windows...rear windows can be limo tint.

I rarely see them pull someone over for it, unless they suspect something else and need an excuse.

Cris, My brother has been diving since 2002.

She is a bit better today. She can walk for a little bit without the crutches. I keep telling her to take it easy though. Thanks for asking.

Hey Everyone,

Talked to J-L this evening and promised I'd post the following:

Jim sewing his teddy bear:



And yet another. Pretty fancy needlework if you ask me.



Jim, if you ask me it makes you more attractive. Gotta love a guy who can sew.

And I told J-L I'd post a pic of Randy getting his hair cut at the salon.

I hate writing those checks, if I could help you out I would.

That reminds me I need to mail Chase's taxes out....

This shows just how stupid I am, I didn't know we had tint laws here in Az.

Don't count on that happening, I only have the hooker boots.

I'm glad her ankle's feeling a little bit better!!! Good luck keeping her off of it, we had a hell of a time keeping my 15 yo sister off her knee after her second ACL replacement.

What is it with you men? They're just boots, whats the big deal? Someone explain it to me. Granted, I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of Cris, but I could care less whether or not she was wearing those boots. Why are they so attractive?
