donut boy, missed ya.
I got my new dell today here at work. so I'm back to data loads....again.
seems better then that replacement I was using. grrrrr
was only $410 bucks.
if it does all it should for me, i'm going to buy one for home. Have to buy a screen and that would add a few more bucks to it.
I'm going to run this baby to the test and see whats she does.

Well, in Virginia, the Attorney General doesn't recognize the PIT maneuver as justifiable and LE agencies aren't allowed to practice it. But, the driving part is fantastic! We had to run about 14 different courses eight to ten times each. That Chevy van is used by our Regional Jail for transporting prisoners and they have about ten of them. It is 19 feet long and you have to do speed maneuvers in it like parallel parking, serpentine, and a parking course where the orange safety cones are set out about 2 feet off each side of it. Doesn't sound too bad until you start swinging the front and back ends around trying to park it. All of the courses are timed and if you go over time, you fail and have to drop out of the course. Each cone you knock over counts five points off your score and you have to average a 90 to pass so they don't leave you much room for error. If you go more than 5 MPH above or below the designated speed, you fail.
It's Sam Adams time for sure! Oh, and by the way, I passed with a 98.93 average!! WooHoo!!!

Great score. I'd love to do the driving tests just to see how I perform. You should be proud of yourself and the Sam Adams is much deserved.

The crazy neighbor lady just came over and was knocking on the door. I turned the TV off and didn't answer and she went away.....On the lil sis - thanks everyone. Heidi is a good kid. Sad I wasn't there. You see my other sisters there in the photo. Holly is on the far right, she graduates next year.

Yea just a little bit, but Im sure Sheldon could work somthing out with you...and then send them to us
I agree but they would most likely just say that the driver didnt see the sign with the bridge hight on it or some BS like that.

well, i got most of the old front steps i have been trying to get rid of for 15 years now gone today. i took the wrong jackhammer, and only had one 60 lb hammer bit in the compressor, and that was a 8 inch spade bit. so i could not get any closer to the foundation. 
i also took out an old street entry landing for my 80 year old neighbor.
she was very happy to get rid of it.
large air compressors and jack hammers make life so easy.
total time for both jobs was 25 minutes, and that included moving the truck and compressor 2 times.

Wow no pits in VA huh? I didn't know that, very interesting. Sometimes I watch COPS and stuff, and they perform pits and I think to myself...that the chain reaction the pit causes could very easily be much worse than allowing the suspect to speed. In Denver, they would oftentimes back off and let the suspect "escape" and then track then down later, the thought being that the high speed chase would cause more harm than the criminal...especially in highly populated areas.
Great score. I'd love to do the driving tests just to see how I perform. You should be proud of yourself and the Sam Adams is much deserved.

The driving tests were great. One of the guys had a camcorder but it wouldn't work right so I didn'y get any video of it...would have been cool to watch though.
