Things heard over the radio during our pursuit this morning.
HE'S GOING WEST IN A WHEAT FIELD...
NOW NORTH IN A CORN FIELD...
NOW EAST IN A MILO FIELD...
At this point I was like, is this guy trying to drive over every crop we grow out here?

You know, most wives when their husbands do this would be like, "Oh honey are you okay?" Not troopers wives...this is the reaction we get.
So if you are applying to be a trooper wife, the only qualification you need is laughing at your husband in his moments of pain. 😂

If you lost a tree branch on your way to the dump, I found it! I’ll be here waiting for you to come back so we can have a discussion about unsecure loads. 😉

After 7 years and 3 months of KHP service, we say farewell to Trooper Gray’s K9, Jaxx.
Trooper Gray opted to make him a permanent part of his family and treated him to a retirement meal, KC Strip, extra rare just like he likes it. 😊
Happy Retirement Jaxx, we’ll miss ya!

From Lt. Phillips...
“We have 100% snowpacked & iced roads with drifting. Winds are near 45 to 50 at times. There are many slide offs. We have jackknifed semi’s in Gove, Ellis and Russell Counties!”

I’m sitting at the beginning of a construction zone because most of the crashes I’ve worked in construction zones, happen in this area.
Btw, driving 84 in a 60 construction zone and passing last second so you can beat someone to the “front of the line” will cost you $540! 😉

A look at the 2 SpaceX super-loads on Kansas highways. Top speeds of 45 mph and these are 16’ wide, 300’ long and 600,000 pound structures. Tomorrow they will travel south from Oakley on U83 and will eventually leave Kansas near Elkhart.
Not sure when they leave tomorrow.

I once told my wife that I was going to transfer to the Alaska HP, her response,
"Have fun, I'll send you pictures of our boys...and my new husband!" 🤣
