I was being polite.I think they are Barney Fife stupid.Maybe worse than Barney Fife.Also they have speed traps.They will work an area for a while,move somewhere else,and its all for money.They will write you a ticket for anything they can in one of those speed traps.I guess thats their job,but I doubt any judge told them to write tickets for 3 MPH over.As far as other states go there are way worse Troopers and way better ones.I have seen Troopers change tires for an old lady in Illinois and Missouri,Mississippi and other places.I have not seen this in Kansas.Actually there is not a lot about Kansas that I like.Road crews seem like they dont know what they are doing and most stuff appears to be contracted out.Like a State road crew in Kansas is about like a county one everywhere else.I did see a Kansas State Trooper one time make a road crew come out on Interstate 35 and fix a big mess they made and just left a big pile of asphalt on the highway when they quit at 3 or 4 pm and went home!He was standing right there while they were shoveling that asphalt where they left a big pile of it and it was past midnight and they had just the lights of their truck and the Troopers headlights to work by.This trooper was not one of the ones you see with the speed traps,he was actually doing a good job.A speed trap cop must be either being punished,or they make them do it because they dont like them or something.It can be like that anywhere in a speed trap,but some places are worse than others.Mostly nice people in Kansas,but there is a lot of flat boring driving across there and not much when you do get somewhere out west unless you are going to Dodge City which is alright. So I doubt writing a ticket for 3 over is anything much but harassing the public.A cop that does this is giving all of them a bad name.So why is Kansas special when most every where will give you 5,and lots of places 10 over?A cop that writes a ticket for 3 over is doing a job,but nobody is liking it,and is probably headed for the unemployment line because he is either dumb,or has a bad attitude,or is a screw up gung ho dingbat.So any more questions?

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
