It’s been some time since I referenced the Norwood scale but no doubt a 7. 7 for sure.

Also, it started pouring rain while I was under here. I’m probably not a wicked witch, but I’m also equally not sure that I am not.

Just out here on Tinder trying to match with a pair of coveralls that don't let everything in the pockets fall out.

Trust me, Trooper three has issued his mother a speeding ticket and four equipment violations.

When your squad vehicle is an F-250, you drop the mantle of Trooper and assume the mantle of Captain-of-the-S.S. Molasses; your campaign hat becomes a tricorn and so help you if you need to sail into the wind. My request to wear an eyepatch has been understandably denied twice.

Until there are zero traffic fatalities. We work. #NDHP363

Found during an inspection by my partner, the great Trp. Schaefer. CVSA We have a stockpile of High definition pictures ripe for the 2022 OOS Criteria, just begging to replace some blurry photos. 👉😎👉

I wonder if IT employees ever click on the links in their own phishing capture emails... Evening shift thoughts are fluid and dynamic.

Brake Safety Week starts today. The best driver competition started in 1896. My vehicle started 2 minutes after I tried to start it because I left my radio on all night. Safe travels out there! CVSA #NDHP363

All of Grand Forks smells like pumpkin spice today... I don't hate it.

Here we see our very own Trp. Sova,(maroon shirt) chairman of the CVSA vehicles committee, 2011 NAIC Grand Champion, and all-around truck regulatory wizard hard at work in Delaware at this years CVSA conference. We sure are lucky to have him. #NDHP363

In-service is a time of training, reuniting with separated coworkers, recertification of everything, and questionable physical status the following morning. I’m sure this transcends departments.

We finally took some new official pictures for the department and I CANNOT wait to compare it to my academy picture. At least one new wrinkle in there somewhere...

Trp.Hoaby and I have finally arrived in Grand Island, NE for some post-crash inspection training with the Nebraska State Patrol. Just as windy here as it is at home.

I have spoken with the staff of the NE LE training academy,and after training, will be returning with a detailed benefit-cost analysis of putting an ice cream machine in the ND training academy.

I learned a ton of skills, met many other great inspectors, and made new friends from across the US. Thanks for the training Nebraska State Patrol, I’ll be back for that soft serve machine.

Thats an absolute first for me.

Big Friday energy coming from this slack adjuster. Found by Trp. Sundby out in my area during a weights and measures inspection. Hang in there buddy…
