Wasn't that kind of fire......huge chunks of slow burning wood made for a great, mello fire.Did Brian get any new holes in his awning?
And....SPEAKING OF DOOR DAMAGE!!!!!
Last night we got into a pursuit with a stolen white 93 Ford Explorer (yes the same color code as mine, right down to the pinstripe). Tweaker meth head with pregnant meth head girlfriend were doing about 100 down the 15 freeway, then went into Escondido. He kept swerving like he was going to make a right turn at every intersection, then would swerve back, like it was going to fool me (that only works if you are driving a real fast, great cornering car on the freeway at very high speeds, and then only if the officer chasing the car is a dumbass). He makes a right turn on two wheels, then left across a grass median sideways, with the rear end bouncing on the right rear wheel. I thought for sure it was going to roll, but no, the tweaker God's smiled on him. He comes to rest in the intersection about 75 feet from where he started driving across the grass (I guess he thought he was being clever, but did not know the median ended a little ways down). I drive around the median and ram him in the left rear wheel with the push bumpers, kicking that Explorer sidways. It has a flat right rear tire now and is spinning the wheels and totally sideways as I push it towards the curb. There is a car parked just up the street that we are headed right for, so I let up on the gas so we don't wreck the parked car (I am such a nice guy, got a bunch of crap for that move from the guys). Tweaker regains control and gets on a wide straight stretch of roadway, perfect for another ramming. I get up on his left side and line up for the kill, and he slams on the brakes, thinking I will end up past him. No way, I think and ram the entire left side of the Explorer, running it up on someone's front lawn. He won't open the window, and the door is jammed shut, so we break out the window and he gets arrested. As we are yanking tweaker out of the car, I notice the gold/brown pinstripe down the mangled left side. All I can think about for the next few minutes is I wish I would have rammed the other side, so I could get the left rear door from the junk yard after the insurance totals it. The Explorer only had 77,000 miles on it and a very straight body with good paint, before it got slammed twice and ran over a curb. And the patrol car damage was all the right front fender and a broken push bumper, and pretty minor at that (not like the dude two weeks ago that totaled my new assigned car by ramming a F150 about a dozen times). My new, new assigned car just got out of the shop yesterday with a new transmission (came from Ford with a slipping overdrive, go figure), now its back in the body shop.
But, a great time was had by all, except for the parolee driver who is going back to prison again, along with his tweaker girlfriend. They had ammunition, a bunch of stolen ID's and tax statements, Social security cards, credit cards, cloned phones, etc....tweakers are not nice people.
