Geesh, I never thought of the insurance angle that someone later mentioned to me. Still would do it though regardless of possible no coverage. The trooper was super cool. He saw my leather seats, went back to his car and took off his belt (all the sharp stuff) remarking that he didn’t want to...

Events around assisting Colorado State Troopers... A couple of Saturdays ago, I happened to be out at the fuel pumps when a State Trooper comes up with siren and lights on—unusual of course. He asked if I could assist by taking him up to search for a kidnapping, high-speed-chase suspect in a...

Heard still trying to contract w group and work with BLM. Maybe December? Update from a gentleman at our EAA mtg yesterday.
