Where is everyone #5

Is that digital gauge on the right your silver bulllet counter?

 

Some weekends it might be!

 

Silver bullet ...reminded me of an Uncle Joe story.

My Uncle Ben couldn't stand Coors Light. So naturally Uncle Joe found an old Ford Probe at the impound auction. It was silver. Needed a battery and it was running. He mixed some darker paint and masked off some mountain on the doors painted away. Did all the trim in red. Glued an empty can of Coors Light to the dashboard. Lettered "Silver Bullet" across the back bumper. Gave it to Ben for his birthday.

He used to drive it to go check cows in southern Colorado. Only had to explain himself to the sheriff a couple time why there was an open can in plain sight.

 

We lost a good man unfortunately. Ex military and Purple Heart recipient, stayed behind to insure the other 17 men made it to safety. RIP Sir, you’re proof not all hero’s wear a cape…..

2nd accident.

 

You gotta pay attention. I watched that 5 or 6 times, and he had another 2 seconds before he said "OH!" - to have seen that coming.

Not saying it's something you'd expect every day, but that 2 seconds might have made enough difference.

 

I did the same thing. From the time when you first notice the white truck beginning to cross the median, to the pickup nosedive to the “OH!” Maybe 2 seconds wouldn’t be to avoid a collision, but it would definitely help to reduce the kinetic energy old blue was bringing.

Nothing sux worse than fire damage, especially on these high cube walking floors.
