Happy New Year to y'all as well.

I had a quiet one at home with the kiddos in bed while we watched the TV.

No full moon. Maybe it was fool moon! I crack me up!

It wasn't a normal New Years Eve with a million "Shots Fired" calls. They took it to another level this year.

I'll have to work New Years Eve but, not New Years Day next year. No need to feel sorry for me. I could have taken the day off.

Yep, unless a holiday falls on my day off or I take vacation I have to work it. I get overtime pay and a holiday to use later so it's not so bad.

You guys will never believe what I found under the hood of my Crown Vic last Wednesday at work. I pulled out of the parking lot a noticed that the front end felt funny so I returned to the lot. I look around the front wheels and can't see anything. I then popped the hood and start looking around and there it is. A freaking screwdriver wedged in between the steering linkage, oil filter and the cross member. It was stuck good. I tried for 20 mins to get it out but, couldn't get it to budge. I drove it carefully to the service center and the service tech put it on the rack and it took him nearly 20 mins with pry bars and removing the oil filter before he finally got it out. Craziness! I wonder how long people have been driving that car with that screwdriver in there? I would say I can't believe no one noticed but, I've seen too many Officers driving around on nearly flat tires without a clue until I point it out. I checked out a car one day that had 20psi in one tire, about 15psi in two others and 10psi in the other. Sad thing is, another Officer just returned it from his patrol shift.

How did it get in there? Do you think a mechanic left it when he was working on the car?

That has to be how it got there. We have skid plates on the bottom so it couldn't have got there from the bottom.

10psi? Jeez...good thing no one did any hi-speeds. Aren't y'all supposed to do a walk-a-round before you start off?

Skid plates huh? Could make for an interesting mod on a Mustang?

I got a little torque steer after giving my pony some gas after a full stop at a stop light. Do you guys get that?

I give it a good little run on this one stretch of road going home from work today. Got the RPM's up there, but not too close to the redline! 5000?

Much fun!
