Wow! I just came back after a long absence from FC. How neat to read there is still lots of life in lots of Zaps, whatever the generation.
Getting to some news from shuttered up Zapville, we had our day in court today. I should say I had my day as this was the criminal case. Sentencing. They were nice enough to just charge me criminally. The civil case affects both Pat and me because it is about our property. That case will probably start moving now.
Anyway, I was charged with two felonies, manufacturing paraphernalia and possession of over 3 oz of marijuana. We ended up with only the possession charge which I pleaded to. Sentence was:18 months supervised probation, under $500 in "restitution" and other court costs, 250 hours of community service and withheld judgement meaning if I follow the rules, in 18 months it all goes away.
So bottom line is no more marijuana for at least 18 months. We can live with that and will. Pat is going to be much help as she can do without at anytime. I was already very close to it for other reasons.
But, the Judge also gave me a bone. I appreciate it because he must think I can handle it...... Alcohol is excluded....."alcohol is legal and you have not had a problem with it"....... Take from that what you will folks. Hey, it is the system!
We are happy this phase is over. We are happy to know I stay out of jail and follow one basic rule that I have broken for 47 years. A new chapter that will be good for us. I am looking forward to community service options.
That's the news. Multiple tens of thousands of dollars spent in the WOD.2 Helicopters, 2 SWAT teams, DEA, USPS Police, Border Patrol dog, sniper who lost a clip in our woods, later found by another LEO, Computer wizards, big van, 6 hours etc etc.........with the criminal results above.
As I said earlier, they are still after us in civil court for our homes and farm. Now we get to deal with that one. We may need some help if they get nasty. I do not expect them to do that but what the fuck do I know?
The funny thing is, Idaho thrives on tourism. You would think they would.............??????
Love you all. Thanks for the support and ongoing Zapolated whichamajigger nuggets.......
I go in tomorrow to check in with the Probation folks.
Rick and Pat
