    I’m 5 for 5 on watermelons this summer. Last year I couldn’t get a good one to save my life.

    I'm glad you're OK looks like everything else maybe toast. And then throwing it out there...how's you're side gig going, could be a sign though ( not trying to get into your business, just sayin')

    I knew something bad would happen. Once you get all lenient and let your truck identify as a white Volvo nothing good can come of it.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys. I'm doing ok. Not injured . just my pride. Wasnt much damage to the truck. Passanger side mirror is broke and sleeper window got broke out along with the fairing.. Trailer is toast. Twisted the frame so bad. All my rocks were still secured on my trailer after flopping it over. They had to cut them off with a grinding wheel to pull the trailer up the bank... Dot gave me a clean level 3 and highway patrol said it was not my fault.... Just counting my blessings. Happened so quick i had no time to react. Before i knew it I was on my side calling for help on the radio, luckily my cb still worked and the guys from the quarry rushed down to help me.

    You guys want to hear the best part about all of this. I litterally just made the last payment on my truck today. It is completely paid off and now might be totaled. That is the luck i walk around with everyday

    Trailer is scrap metal at this point. Truck, just depends on if the frame is bent. They twisted it pretty good yanking it back over

    You’ll have to get a truck from the company because no one has trucks in stock…. Or trailers

    Well let’s see, No Injuries, No ticket, that’s 2 Good things. 3rd one might still be on its way. They total it, you can chose to buy it back, and fix it. Though it will have a salvage Title. They pay you off, and you get to go Truck Shopping. Hope they give you enough, and then some. Should be equivalent to cost of a similar Truck. You can take the cash, and use it any way you want. Buy any Truck, or go to Vegas. Lol. Make sure to mention any recent major repairs that increase the value of the Truck. Hope they get you settled out quickly. Meanwhile take a step back, relax, enjoy the time off. The situation just may be a lot better than it looks like now. I hope so. Glad you didn’t get hurt. That’s the main thing.

    My niece refuses to pay off her mechanic. Every time she does she destroys her car. Wrecks it, blown engine, whatever. So she now keeps a $5 tab with her mechanic just so he's never actually paid off. As this is the longest she's owned a car I guess it works.
