Not something you can test yourself either, unless technology has changed since i last had to play with the lab rats

Sorry for your loss Fred .
I'm glad that you have it Fred. Good to keep the memories alive... The sad sucks, but we should remember people that had meaning in our existence

condolences for your loss and congratulations on such a neat memento
sucks to lose someone close, the emblem will make a cool memento. Have something similar I put in a shadow box.
Last night we took the dogs(kids) to Christmas in color show. Show is about a 1/2 mile of different things and over a million lights set to music. I know they see in black and white, but Gunnar really watches the moving lights, Brandy was into it for about 3/4 of it then sat down in the back.
son of a f#@%IN b*tch...
the one and only time in my life I have ever been in or near Cedar rapids.... 2 Sundays ago.
Today in the mail I get a freaking speeding ticket by camera...... 66 in 55...
im not far (enough) away from CROOK county IL.... (where Chicago is and one reason I go outta my way to avoid driving in or near) I didnt know anyplace else had such a scam..... Crook county is well known for it....
I was in Iowa for a Marketplace run, 2 stops for D250 parts.... first one in CR the 2nd stop was in Gilman, or Grinell, something like that.... they gotta make up for cheap gas somehow I guess.... I dont even know where this was... like I say im not familiar with the area... the address on it says "NB 1380@Diagonal Dr"....
at least they POST in crook county that youre in a "camera enforced" area.... (mostly red traffic control lights) I never remember seeing such signs regarding this scam anywhere on the roads that day.... Damn damn damn....NOT what I need......Its definitely my truck, my plate....they show pix..... It would cost me more than the $75 to go back and contest it.....
so being as how the registration is in both mine and my wifes name.... which one gets "credited" with this against their license? What happens if I had loaned my truck out that day (in which case neither of us were driving... not the case but Im guessing that happens all the time like kid driving parents car, etc) I was "only" gone 13 hours that day... and this cherry on top.... it says I went thru it at 10:28 am which would have been shortly before my parts stop in CR....

Hey Steph hope you had a good day.
The companies that set then up for moist municipalities present demographics and proposed fine levels to maximize profit.
It's a thing. The magic 11mph threshold
Sorry man. It sucks
It wasn’t bad. It was busy. We had a 2 hour delay which messes with the daily schedule.
How about you?
How’s your wife Mike? @fatoldguy

We are hitting 55 tomorrow. The temps are all over the place

**** 25 here and I was outside in a T shirt today. Not for long though, about 20 minutes walking around the yard was good enough.

It more than sucks. What will a camera ticket do for me here in Illinois? Will they ding both of us since the camera doesn't know which one was driving or even if one of us registered owners was even driving. 11 mph appears to be the least number "over" they screw people for. Exactly what it said I was going. When I was on 80 and on 30 I was going more than that.
And another fishy detail that absolutely does not seem right. The "company" or whatever who sent it to me was from Massachusetts? Some place I have definitely never been....
well..... the rain was up but it is coming down now
I absolutely cannot stress in here without getting quite "colorful" just how PISSED I am about this shyt.
Ticket usually goes to the registered owner... Most states don't assess points for unattended photo ticket systems
The next one down is the dang tolls on the roads. No one there to take your money. I tried to avoid toll roads on my Alaska trip but it is near impossible. Then you have to figure out what you owe on the computer. I don't have E Z Pass. why would I? This country is going to far with their camera's and crap
