It reminds me of that Ford commercial from a few years ago, "Like A Rock".

Chevy had the "Like a rock" campaign. Makes sense considering that is a Silverado in the video. If I remember right, Ford's slogan was "Built Ford Tough".

Regarding that Ford commercial, it was of a Ford towing a Chevy out of the drink, and the Chevy owner was saying he was surprised at how fast it sank, and the Ford guy as he is putting away the tow strap just smiles and says "Yeah, like a rock..".

Anyone notice that the LEO in the center was wearing his holster as crossdraw? Don't see that too often.

Two of them had that. They are tasers. Their service weapon was on the right hip.

Ahhh ... didn't look close enough. Thought the one on the left had magazine holders on the front. Guess I won't be hired for my powers of observation :redface:.

At least he had two things going for him...

Flotation in the bed of the truck and his windshield wipers were keeping the glass dry!

Re: Boat launch at Lake Austin

what happens if you fall overboard with a tazer?

Can you shoot a tazer at an aluminum boat and taze all onboard?

How about a shot overboard to stun some minnows for bait?

I'm seeing a LEO SHT

I didn't hear about that one! Was that the private ramp closer to Mansfield Dam? I usually use the Stiner Ranch ramp if I can.
