Awesome job guys!

Was great to meet up and kill time with you again this year. :D:thumbup:
 
Glad to meet Doug this year. Glad to see Jerry and Doc yet again. I am looking forward to next year. Be careful until then.:thumbup:
 
That is Doug. He is Jerry's gyrocopter pilot.

Doug possesses no reasonable fear of anything that may or may not fly. . . . :eek:

Last summer, Doug, Jerry (Monster SWAT), and Dock, came up north for a visit to play with a bunch of toys on the Busse Combat 300 yard shooting range behind the shop.

As a joke, we told Doug to close his eyes while we strapped, what we told him, was an early 1940's prototype for a personal "Jet-Pack", onto his back with gray duct tape. We told him that it was called the "PPP" ("Personal Prop-Pack"). The fact that he couldn't really see that we had strapped a push mower to his back, made it even funnier for those in attendance.

At first it seemed like a pretty good joke. Then suddenly, before anyone could stop him he pulls the rope and starts the motor!!! He then starts running across the back field flapping his arms like a crazed goose chasing intruders from the nest!!!!!:eek:. . . As we all stand there laughing at this highly skilled SWAT officer with a lawn mower taped to his back, he suddenly starts to get some air!!!!!:eek: He places his feet on the inside of the upside down mower handle, like a foot rest, and the next thing we know, he's every bit of 50 feet up in the air and is hovering over the roof of the shop!!!!. . . We're standing there slack-jawed while he's hovering and laughing like a crazy person!!!!! :eek:. . . . He ultimately landed safely and while we all just stood there dumbfounded he said something along the lines of, "Pretty cool. . . but it's a bit loud. . . If you could quiet it down a bit, you could market it as a floating deer blind, or sniper hide" :eek: :eek: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The biggest bummer of all is that I dropped my FLIP video into my beer when he cleared the shop roof and lost all of the video footage! :grumpy:

Be sure to ask Doug about this the next time you see him. . . He still doesn't know that it was a lawnmower, so be gentle!!!! :eek:

Let's Drink!!!! :thumbup:

Jerry :D

I've always enjoyed hanging out with Trough Security, just wouldn't be the same without you !
 
I would have picked something a little more low key....but that is not the Busse way!Thanks for a great year guys, it was fun to see you all again!
 
"Busse Combat 300 yard shooting range behind the shop"

I didn't think I could like Busse more, but I stand corrected. That is my kind of work enviroment.
