NWI INGO General Post - Part 22 - Racoon Pets, Sadclowns Kids, and golf carts

[repeter1977]

Great weekend so far, although I did spend too much time in the bathroom. Thankfully I didn't have issues driving though

The fair is over down in fffaaarrr south redneck land. The kids did pretty well with their projects and my 11 year old took the overall rabbit showmanship award, beating her two older sisters in the process. She competed in Supreme showmanship today, having to show pigs, cattle, poultry, goats, sheep, horses, and rabbits. She didn't win but she had a great time, though hoosiermommy was a bit nervous when her 70 lb daughter is showing an 800+ lb steer.

Cannot believe the thunder last night

We both agreed in our 32 years on this planet we've never heard louder.

What do you do at the fair? Something with 4H?

Really? I slept through the whole thing and was surprised when it was wet out this morning.

My granddaughter is in 4H. My wife stays with her at the fair. I stay home and take care of everything while they are there, plus am the errand boy when they forget stuff.

On Thursday, 7/14, I was on eastbound 20 getting ready to turn LEFT into Michigan City Rifle Club. I always signal well in advance of my turn to give those behind me time to change lanes and go around me since 20 is a 55 MPH speed limit here. My general rule is turn signal always goes on before I begin braking, and at this turn I allow some extra.

I was slowed to about 5 MPH and almost at the turn. I was going to have to wait for west bound traffic before I could turn. A car passed me on my left at high speed and nearly hit the front left of my vehicle cutting back over and causing the oncoming traffic to have to brake hard to avoid a head on.

This was one of the most reckless things I have witnessed on the road.

Be safe out there and always be on the watch for those who think that the rules don't apply to them.

Nice. I see people pass on 2 lane county roads where you can't see more than 1/4 mile. Some people are just really stupid.

Glad everyone is OK (even the ******* who passed you).

Friends in cedar lake said they heard it.

They didn't even have rain

Noticed the Portage Meijer took down their no blue guns signage, at least at the west entrance

Just noticed this morning that the Highland Meijer store no longer has their gun signs displayed at either entrance.

Especially when I'm turning into my house, I will signal left 3 blocks before for a few seconds, then if course have it well on before I start stopping...

But if there is no oncoming I will signal left and ride in oncoming as to not have everybody behind me have to slow down..

I can't stand people who will stay in their lane and make everyone else stop/slow when they could simply travel in incoming for a small distance

I just asked my wife, she said she woke up during the storm. Guess I was really sleepy last night after a week of county fair.

That is a "country" thing to do. I see it on 2 lane county roads all the time, not so much in cities/towns.

Turn signal BEFORE braking alerts the following driver that you are getting ready to slow.

Pretty thick in the garage this morning but the new Bilsteins are in.
The old Ranchos weren’t completely shot, but at 75K they definitely needed replaced.

The purty new ones…


The new spring compressor worked perfectly.
