I thought I could bait Michael out... but here's the sinker: Uzi has left the building.

First day out, shop-dust still in place:


Shop-dust now covered in Prairie City clay and mud:



I spent a day last week doing dog-pony-and-Uzi shows at the local State Vehicular Recreation Area, and taking legislative wonks for test drives. Nuthin' to extreme, as I have a high-idle issue and hadn't charged the air-locker air tank, but still enough to make our congress and assembly staff guests pucker.

For added richness to the irony, though we started the day with four vehicles for ride-alongs, mine was the only one still running at the end of the day. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> It certainly raised my stress level a bit that the first run after too many years was gonna be with legislative VIPs!

I went trolling, and caught myself a Michael. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
You can thank me later for using barb-less hooks. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
