Re: Believe it or don't



Every time I set up my coil in the back yard the police show up about and
hour later.  By then I have finished playing with the coil and put it away
and there isn't anything for the police to see.  All they know is a neighbor
called and complained I was making sparks in the back yard.  So I figure the
police didn't see it and they won't know the difference no matter what I
say.  I tell them I was using the arc welder.  Thats the truth too because I
was using the arc welder as current limiting.  On the 4th of July I
discharge my cap bank a few time and vaporize some 1/8" steel wire 6 feet
long and it sounds like a high powered rifle going off.  The police always
come to this event too.  The police have become regulator visitors to my
house. It seems like every time someone finds something fun to do the
Gestapo wants to make it illegal. I have been arrested so many times its not
funny and its expensive too.  Got arrested for riding my racing go-cart on
the city street, making and shooting off homemade fireworks in the back
yard, flying a kite with 5000 feet of string. I didn't know the kite was
over the airport runway. Got arrested for having too many rifle bullets in
the back seat of my car and flying a model airplane on city school property.
Haven't been arrested yet for running my TC. Some day the Gestapo will have
us all arrested.  Seems like everything that is fun is illegal.
