[Shotimes] Slighty OT-Have you hugged your SDHP today?

[Shylo McKinsey]

Don is right...MT was the last state to have a
"Reasonable and Prudent" Law. It was fun while it
lasted, but now the speed limit is set at 75. Usually
I'm ok at 80-85, but I wouldn't push it too much
faster than that without a fuzzbuster... Anyone on
the list with a Gen 2 Midnight Blue get pulled over
today in Indiana??? Poor sap...
