I know you want to! This can be a group rant. Any and all ranters welcome (as long as you aren't the driver of the offending jet ski or bass boat - there's nothing you could say to make me think y'all are any less than the morons your actions prove you to be).

As for being pulled over for the random check - been there done that and they didn't give me a t-shirt. After I start pulling out my whistle, skier down flag, insurance papers, title, fire extinguisher and bajillion extra life preservers they start going OK OK OK never mind. I always (this has happened more than once of course) tell them how much I appreciate what they do. And I sincerely mean that. It's just too big a lake with too few people patrolling. They've always had a "reason" to pull me over but I've never gotten a ticket. ("m’am, the reason we stopped you is because we couldn't see that HUGE competition sized, legal rear view mirror and we could see you didn't have a spotter" or "mam, did you see that "no ski zone" buoy over there? Why yes, officer, I did. But we aren't skiing - this ski rope just flew out of the boat all by itself. The wind ya know. And by the way here are my whistle, skier down flag, insurance papers, title, fire extinguisher and bajillion extra life preservers. Have a nice day!")
