Jon,
No, no, no, I had an serrated pocket knife for cutting the Parade banners paracord in my pocket(but bad enough in Cook County,IL). And with the two State Police girl Supervisors doing the 'Barney Fyfe' holdover for at least 15 minutes solid(whew). Well, they were making up for their petite stature and low-ground postioning with a humorous/failed attempt at intimidation. Then the frisk, which really didn't help.
I really wish I had a 'back up camera' on the truck for all this, we'd have a blast with it on the SS forum here. Can I get a copy of a Squad car window cam on request? I want to see the guy flying out of a 7 foot high tailgate sideways(Chris and I caught him). Lt-I have to get a flashlight-there's a crate of Nitrogen in there(I guess it could look like an IED in the dark).
oivet,
Yeah, the intake is a couple right angle tube corners welded together, takes it up to just under 'scuba gear' height.
iovet/Dan,
I'm telling the story so we all can have some fun and learn what goes on, no hard feelings on my part(might of been different if we were on the way to the Parade). But even waving off the squad car ambushes further up the road! See how far this thing got outta hand in no time. I just gotta laugh sometimes.
And where do I start, anyway. Car-cell *999 dispatch, Lisle local police, State police, county(ambush car), Elk Grove local police. Shoot man, everyone was out lookin for the south suburban terr's drivin' to Chicago on the Tollway.
