That is impressive gps work and a good post here but I think CU must have had a more difficult gps course to watch while doing his, probably totally under the hood.

Just a good thing Coyote Ugly's first name isn't Bartholomew. He'd a run out of lakebed.

That reminds me of a joke:

"Old guy about coyote's age checks into a hospital. Male nurse (Gump) gives him a spong bath and comes into nurses lounge to report that the old guy has a tatoo on his pecker that spells out "SWAN."

Next day a real young good looking female nurse gives the old guy the spong bath. She shows up at the nurses loung and is asked what she thought of the tatoo. She say it does not spell SWAN. They all asked what does it spell and she replied SASKATCHEWAN."

I heard a similar joke, only the initial report on the tattoo was that it said "we the people"

What a constitution that man must have had! Or was it just the fore-amble to it?
