David,
Due to our interesting reciprocity laws, you could apparently bring that here to Wisconsin, and drive on our roads. That, despite the fact that we will probably never enjoy such rights.
You poor folks will have to suffer through such unsafe indignities, since your state lacks governmental regulatory agencies as throrough as our WisDOT. Eek, I hope you survive. Yeah, right!!
Here's a toast to your operating rights!! Congratulations.

Dave, yes they have drive throughs where you can get beer and ice. I haven't seen any drive through liqour stores though.
Kinda stupid to me. since they have such a high incidence of DUI/DWI here to start with. Plus they sell them big tall boys, they are called "veladoras" in Spanish because they look just like the votive candle, as singles. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

They have drive through Liquor stores Here. Really can't believe someone would be so lazy. I personally like having a conversation with the liquor store lady. The really odd thing is OKlahoma And Missouri sells every thing at the Gas station.
Andy, you have never been through a drive through fast food place?

Of course in Louisiana, they have drive through daiquiri shops. They usually leave the paper on the top part of the straw so it qualifies as a "closed container".
Looking for next new (for me) toy

Well, with the 4th of July parade coming up next week, I've fitted Garfield with seating for 4 in the rear, and a "Fire Suppression" system...aka an onboard water system for use against Super Squirters !
The 5gpm pump can maintain a single hose stream of 30 feet, while with 2 hoses, both gave a 20ft. stream...more than enough to keep any hand held squirter at bay
I will be upgrading the suction line to a reinforced hose, as I did see it was collapsing under the pump pressure.

Well, here's the "Parade Ready" Supacat
This was taken on a test run to see how the Cat drove and stopped with the trailer behind it, with half full tank of water.... I think it stops better than my 3/4T Chevy
I wonder who'll be fooled by the camo netting? The white hoses should be a dead giveaway to the fire power
If I don't get banned, I already have plans for upgrades for next year!

Well, I found a couple pics of the pre-parade of the Cat, and I took a few at the end in the "free fire" zone.
Even with the group firing at everyone in sight (includung each other), I still estimate that I came home with over 50 gallons of water

Re: Good Stream Flow
Probably the 50 gallons leftover relates to this...AZ712DK wrote:Dave,
I know at your age you better make sure you have good solid stream or that could indicate problems for you.
I guess you are either going to win or have one wet p*&#y! My mind never ventures out of the gutter.

I was given a lead from a friend that was watching a documentary on 9/11 and told me he saw a Supacat with 3 stretchers ( this is the standard configuration of the SC's flipit trailer for ambulance use) at the rescue at the Pentagon on 9/11.
Finding it a bit hard to believe, but this friend was good on the details, and gave some details that most people don't notice,( or wouldn't know). I started to watch some film clips from that day at the Pentagon, and found this clip from later in the day.
In this clip, at 7:07 minutes into it (10 seconds of air time), a Mk3 Supacat is shown towing a light tower trailer. This leads me to believe that it was in use for the rescue/recovery, and later for logistical support.

Judging from the blue and amber beacons, the Supacat was assigned at/or near the Pentagon in some emergency response role.
Though the event is so tragic, I am pleased to see that a Supacat was in the US military, and involved and part of American history
