Ok two week ago wednesday we had alot snow and I was out heading to a doctor appointment when I had a idiot back out of a driveway then went three drive ways down and decided to stop and make a left in front of me and left me no room to stop ,so instead of hitting that Sh :censored:t Head I tried to take the sidewalk and  end up smoked a pole instead down, I did jump out and the little  A censored hole  took off like a bat out of  censored.. veryangry  The plus side the officer did not give me a ticket and I was fine  the down side chargeable accident  .

  It has been tough with out a truck but I've had some help from my good friend Johnie G.
   Thanks John.

 Well I get it back Friday  so I thought I would share some sad  photo's

  Pat

I wish I could say I believe in karma, and  the other driver  will get his actions returned  to him. But i will say  I am very glad you  are ok, it's a little easier to repair or replace the truck than a knowledgable  friend.

That must of been some pole.  I hate idiot drivers, and new bumpers. You're lucky you didn't get hurt and that no one was on the sidewalk.

I think everyone has a story... quickly, a 16 year old girl blew off a stop sign while crossing a main street.  She slamed into my front left side causing my body to slam into the door frame, peeling back two inches of my scalp.  Luckily the skin healed, but it left a horse shoe scar ( kind of makes me look like a hornless unicorn) biggrin

My lucky horse shoe got me my Wurlitzer Princess jukebox and my wife a wrap around couch.  At least my neck didn't break! 

Oh yeah, she was in a hurry to change into a new dress at the high school dance.  She didn't like the one she was wearing.

That stinks.  Don't you guys have 'no fault' insurance up there anyway?  So even if the  censored stuck around your insurance would be stuck with it, right?

Hey Pat, sorry for the bad luck but after 34 years of working crashes I can tell you the important thing is you walk away.  When you pick the truck up Friday they will have it all pretty again. It is a great looking truck.

Idiots like you had in front of you will eventually get what they deserve we just pray they dont take anyone with them..

   Thanks Guy, I know I am lucky I was not hurt , It's just my pride that all  down.
And  Brent yeah we do have no fault Ins. up here,but if the little  censored hole
would have stuck around he would have gotten the ticket (right from the officer
mouth)  plus no deductable, But I was dealt  this hand so I have to deal with it..

Pat,

Glad to hear you're not injured ! ! !
As stated previously, we can replace material things; however, family and friends aren't so easily replaced...

My six cents,

Jim
