I am sorry about the kiddo. When you said ulcers I cringed. There is so much stress on a lot of kids these days I am surprised more kids don't have them. I wonder how many do but do not get a diagnosis just live with stomach aches? Prayers sent the little guys way tho!
Thanks cris and lisa. Feels good to "feel good" still do not feel worthy of such a amazing guy but I wont fight it. LOL Just a one day at a time thing. I like the feeling of getting to be twitterpated.
Lisa there is a guy on Excursion that made the most awesome black grille for his ex and it is so b*itchen. This grille just rocked. It would look great with the rims. and you would be even more "smokin" lol

the state police tried that here a few years ago on the turnpike John, but no dummies in the cars. just a spare older patrol car parked in the median, semi hidden behind a bridge abutment or something with a turned on radar gun.
it worked for about 6 months, with the cars being moved once a week, until a dirtbag stole the tires and rims off one of the dummy cars and left it sitting on blocks.
that was the end of unsecured, unmanned cars on the side of the road.

That's hilarious! Well, I've got a new toy that just mounts up on a utility pole in a little box. It's got radar inside it and I can use it to do traffic enforcement needs surveys. It'll do a traffic count and break down speeds of passing vehicles by time of day etc. It's a good tool and can save a lot of wasted man hours. We get a lot of frivilous and outrageous complaints about speeding. This thing has been great so far in helping us find true trouble spots in town and setting up radar where we need it.

i have loads of good cop stories Sheldon.
like the time back in 76, i was on the force for about 1 1/2 years, and we decided to prank one of the lazy road Sargent's.
we snuck up on him while he was sleeping in a parking lot, and put a bottle jack under the rear diff, lifting the wheels about 1 inch off the ground.
then one of the guys got in his 67 427 4 speed vette roadster with the side-pipes, and laid a patch of rubber rite in front of him at 11 pm. he woke up, hit the lights and siren, slammed the car in gear,
and went nowhere with the engine redlining!!

That's kind of like what they used to do years ago to initiate the rookies. In the winter time when it's cold and everybody's using their heat in the cruisers, the older guys would wait until you parked your car and left it for a while. They'd go get a rag and soak it down with mace and stuff it up in your vents under the dash. You'd start the car and drive about a block or two before you were on the side of the road with tears streaming down your face and trails of snot hanging to the ground. Geez, it was awful....funny that is.

That is a super nice grille. Wonder if he'd make another one.
