Speeding tickets and beef jerky

I made some beef jerky this weekend, it was my first attempt. I borrowed a dehydrator from a friend and bought a 8lb. round roast,soaked it in a solution of teriyaki,orange juice,honey,hot sauce,salt,pepper and garlic powder. It needed a little more heat but I thought it was pretty good for my first time. I might buy a dehydrator and start making some on a regular basis,or not. My oldest son,Trey got a speeding ticket a couple of days ago,this is his second one. He got both tickets on the same road almost in the identical spot. I got the first ticket taken care of because it turned out I knew the officer. I guess Trey didnt learn his lesson. I am going to make him go to court and go to driving school and the ticket will not go on his record. He doesnt like that idea but I dont care and he will thank me later. I found out he got the ticket when I went in his room and it was lying on his bed (its amazing I could find it amongst all his clothes-dirty ones). I went completely off on him. I felt bad later when I thought back to my teenage years, getting stopped for going 96 miles an hour in my dads dodge colt station wagon,or doing donuts in the national guard armory parking lot,or doing burnouts coming out of the pool parking lot in my dads buick limited,or racing my dads ford ltd at the high school...... I think you get the idea. I dont remember my dad losing his cool but I am sure he did, my memory is probably just not that good. I guess its just part of growing up for boys. Well for a update on Sam, he has decided to play football , Me & Donna are so happy. I will be coaching his team. This will be my first attempt as a head coach in football. I am looking forward to the challenge. Me & Donna were not going to know what to do with ourselves with neither boy playing football this year. But I promised myself I would not trick him into playing this year and I didnt have to. Anyway, how does he think I am going to be able to live vicariously through him if he doesnt play.LOL.
