First part of the month I hit a deer at 55mph (road const area) and took out the left side of our Kenworth tractor. It did not wreck the rad but took out part of the bumper, bent the grill, cracked up the hood, and broke the light assembly.
Last night I blew a steer tire at 60 mph on our roll off truck. Lucky for me I was empty and got slowed down and off the road safely. That took out the head light, bumper, fender lips, and part of the hood. Somehow we have and oddly large and wide tire on a budd rim, so I ended up buying a used tire and rim of similar size to get me to a hotel for the night.
To top it all off, today I find out the place where the wife works was sold and she will be out of job.
I know the trucks will get fixed and the wife will get anew job but I prefer my life to be a little more boring.
I'm glad June is done

I bought one of those 36 rolls of toilet paper, and it won't fit in the cupboard.

Sounds like our deer hunters are slacking....

That sounds like a lapse in planning skills.
And what do you need with all that toilet paper for in the truck?
In over 5 years out here, I have never felt the need to stock toilet paper. -
Put it in the passenger seat and use the seatbelt. Don't want it damaged if you have a rollover.
