    I was sooo glad I had my dash cam when those things happened... So I could show to my company and they found those to be non-preventable...
    If only had the friggin white pickup truck just stayed in his friggin lane for one more min... but nooooo..... :biggrin_25512: :angry5:
    Broke off one air line going to brake chamber in the trailer and had to park on the shoulder... :angry6:

    Going thru bambi land at night... another one decided to commit suicide... :biggrin_2552: Thankfully it was a small one... but big enough to cause damage to the plastic truck... :angry4: Lost right side of bumper and damaged front bumper... my company didn't use those guards...

    Well.
    Due to me thinking, I’ll go mow the yard, and get that out of the way, I got into all kinds of fun, but it reminded me of a story I’ll tell at the end for those intrigued readers.

    The first thing, I had to do, of course, was go get fuel.
    Then the battery was dead, so I jumped started it.
    Then while mowing, got a flat..
    I fixed that..
    Then as I go to park the mower, a snake decided to take over my shed.
    All I had was my .45, so now my ear is ringing, but minus one big nasty thing lurking in the dark.

    Now the story, as promised.
    An old man once seen a snake starving, hurt and on the brink of death.
    The old man took the snake, nursed it back to health.
    A few months later, the snake bites the old man.
    While the man was laying there dying, he asked the snake, “Why would you bite me, I saved your life, and now you’re taking mine.”
    The snake said, “I’m a snake, what’d you expect?”

    What!! It warms up as spring arrives. I’m thinking that this is necessary to drive the snowbirds back north.
