Safety advocate...

My daughter. 7 1/2 years old and she's going to be a consumer safety advocate I can tell.

So there I am, #2 in the left turn lane to go eastbound. There's a Chevy Duramax 4 door short box in front of me. The turn signal turns, he gooses it and I start rowing gears baby! Can you see where this is going? I stay within 2 truck lengths all the way up to 95 miles per hour and was gaining, albeit very slowly by inches, before I let off the skinny pedal. My daughter kept asking, "what are you doing?" Then she pulled out the ace, "I'm going to tell mom."

I was toast. Nothing could bribe her...she said it was "unsafe." ****, I hate it when she's right. Then I tried to explain to here that the truck in front of us was inferior and we just had to show him that we could whupp his butt. Didn't work.

Now I'm in trouble.

Reminds me of the time when I was towing my boat and some idiot was giving me a hard time about only going 60 mph in a 55 mph zone. I had my two kids with me and my GPS. The max speed on the GPS said 92 mph. (I know, STUPID) He never did get away from me!! I told the kids not to say anything to mom, but, somebody just had to tell her.

Let them tell! Women have their fun too...just in a different way. And YES, a woman's fun can also be unsafe...unsafe to a man's nerves and psychology that is!

It was my little Garmin E-Trex my wife bought me and it was sitting on the dash of the truck. I looked at it when I got to the boat landing.
