Haxar, you know anything about why my Internet connection was down at home the entire time I was at GBEM and came back online within ten minutes of my arrival home?

I'll tell you one thing It's not a good feeling waking up from a sound sleep staring at a Highway Patrol officer in your window... Needless to say when Rav opened the trunk of the car and the officer seen the fuel cell It opened up a can of worms we both had to explain. Needless to say we spent some time beside the road in Oklahoma over 4 mph over the speed limit....LOL  Rav,,I had to tell them my side of the story before you did....LOL  Now you can tell your side....

ROFL! No! handcuffs were not involved.

The officer pulled me over for going 74 in a 70 MPH zone. (Just went from TX to OK.)
He wanted proof of registration.  Unfortunately, it was a rental car, so he said that he needed the rental agreement.

Well.... ... it was in my bag in the trunk... It just so happened that the cell was in the trunk also... and VERY VISIBLE.
I'm sure he was like... "What the !@#$ is that?"

Needless to say, I just told him we came from boulder and were on our way back home.

Wow GPS, it's a wonder he did not confiscate the fuel cell thinking it to be some kind of a bomb, calling the bomb squad and locking you both up. I guess youall did some fast talking. :huh:

ROFL!  Gee... Thanks. :P

LIke I said before.  Just got into OK and the officer pulled me over for 4 MPH over the speed limit.  He wanted to see the rental agreement... Unfortuneatly, it was in the trunk with the cell.

Went to get the agrement and then he asked me to sit in the front seat of his squad car.

I was thinking to myself, why does he want me to sit in the car?  Oh CRAP! he saw the cell.  Oh well! LOL.

Oh ok, could have been much worse though, like when you get the Barney Fif type, they go off the deep end.

True, it could have been much worse.
Thankfully, we had a very nice officer.

If anyone says all cops are bad... they need to be corrected. :D :cool: :P
That easy for you to say, I'm the one that got handcuffed. LOL

Hey man! LOL.
Stop telling everyone you got cuffed.
To everyone reading this... He was NOT; and I repeat, NOT handcuffed.

The one thing that was really annoying though was he pulled me over for 4 over.
That was the frustrating part.

Oh well... "whatcha gonna do? watcha gonna do?"...
:D :cool: :P

Nah.  He let us off with a warning.
Great cop.  He just saw it and probably thought "what is that?" and wanted to see if our stories matched. lol.

Tell ya what.  It made me paranoid about the speed limit the whole way home.
:D :cool: :P :angel:

On an un-related note:

I saw this picture in a gas station on the way back and thought it was worth sharing.

I just made it home, it was a long drive on my own but sure worth it!  Now I can put faces with names which is awesome.  Learned some things and have new stuff to test.  Plus I never seen so many people marvel at a motor that never worked. lol  Great Time!:cool:  Boulder is a great town too.
