H...I'm sure he'll have fun giving it a try. He's been working on his momma's bike, the dang thing has a miss, just every now and again that causes it to die while at idle. He'll dicker with it and it'll frustrate him and he'll leave it alone for a couple of days. It's running better, and only does it occasionally now, which irritates him even more, I think. He's got some new plugs he's going to try, he seems to think will take care of the problem. If it doesn't he says it's a carb problem, something with an EPA thing that is sealed so it can't be adjusted, or something like that. Anyway, he'll like helping with it.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663829741122531500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-74066042673278721472010-10-17T20:14:06.303-05:002010-10-17T20:14:06.303-05:00Captain, I'm just waiting for the time when th...Captain, I'm just waiting for the time when the border patrol starts writing traffic tickets. I've now learned that it is common practice for them to backup the sheriff's deputies and I don't know who the helicopters belonged to, but both had different markings.<br /><br />Dale, looking forward to your visit. Maybe Dwight can help me get the trike going while you'll are here. I don't think the heat will be here then (Outside of all the heat around here now.)tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-996220991633447652010-10-17T16:24:57.241-05:002010-10-17T16:24:57.241-05:00Looks like we will be making a trip out there a we...Looks like we will be making a trip out there a week from this next Wed, the 27th. Hopefully we can slip in and out quietly before the rush starts. Let me know if you need anything, liquor and a mallet for the tooth maybe?

Its all polical, the real border problems are in South Texas, and the El Paso region. Not Terlingua! <br /><br />Im sure when the feds back up the local sheriffs deputies its becouse the feds are bored and want to show they are actually doing something to justify thier paychecks. My advice on dealing with the feds is just to keep everything in order, license, insurance, silly stickers on car windows etc. Dont do anything wrong while driving, dont give them an excuse to pull you over. If they do pull you over, it can be seen as harassment.<br /><br />Let the feds run themselves ragged chasing after illegal aliens in the desert, sit back drink beer and wave as the Blawkhawk helicopters hover overhead. Let them figure out that they are needed down here in South Texas, or somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-90149450224472691252010-10-16T21:42:53.426-05:002010-10-16T21:42:53.426-05:00Just never know when the Law will show up or why! ...Just never know when the Law will show up or why!

I guess the Texas Highway Patrol, the CIA and the FBI were too far away to make it? I think one of the deputies mentioned domestic violence??? Different stories abound down here so who really knows?
