Awesome weekend

So this weekend rocked.

First, the Deepstrike paintball event was way fun. Everyone there were great sports, and we had no fights and everyone called out fairly. They gave out a lot of smaller prizes, so everyone got their money's worth. My teammate/friend Shawn won a $450 paintball gun for best sportsmanship. He was super stoked.

Second, the ride-along with UHP was awesome. Right when I got in the car, he took off like a bat out of Satan's palace. I guess he was responding to an accident on I-70 in Salina. We were crusing at 130mph on the highway and about 80mph through the towns. It was crazy stuff. The accident wasn't anything special. Some dude fell asleep and slid his Camry off the interstate. (we were told it was a rollover initially) Then we pulled a guy over for a broken headlight and a broken windshield. He only got a warning though (Sundays are kinda slow).

Then the best of the day... We pulled over a car that had too dark of windows in the front. He took the off ramp and parked by a gas pump when we got to him. The trooper got out and talked to him for a minute and then asked for his license and registration. The guy told the trooper to stand by the gas pump and he would get it, and the trooper told him what's what. The trooper opened the door and smelled a heavy scent of Marijuana. He confiscated a bag, a big blunt, and a pipe with burned weed in it.

The trooper then called for backup and they searched the trunk while he searched the front. The trunk smelled HEAVILY of marijuana so they searched in there and couldn't find anything, so they called the K-9 unit and the dog went crazy, but didn't find anything that the officers couldnt already smell. They figure the guy just got back from Colorado dropping off a shipment of marijuana. They fined the guy about $1,000 and confiscated his drugs and let him go his way.

Lastly, I took my POST test this morning. It was pretty easy for the most part. Math and I, however, are not friends. That's the only part that I worry on. I'll hopefully have my results in about 10 days. We shall see what happens.

That's about it. I had an overall great weekend.
