    Was asleep till someone hit my trailer when backing in. Threw on some cloths got him at other end of parking lot then he came back and we exchanged info, took a lot of pics. Not much damage but he shook the hell out of my truck when he did hit. Now hopefully I can sleep again. At least Mya got walked but have plans to walk her again at 2200

    I started to post that video last night.....but just wasn't sure if I should...some of the vehicles were in such bad shape. The TransAm truck was in better shape than many of the others. The guy that made the video said that he got stopped in time but then he was rear ended. I guess that is something to consider in those conditions .....not only do you have to leave plenty of room to get stopped, but you have to leave plenty of room so that when you are stopped you don't get shoved over top of someone in front of you.

    rather keep what little I have then sign half of it away when it doesn't work out. ;)

    besides I don't need training, I'll either find one that's a perfect fit or I will continue life as I know it. :)

    This is another video of Wyoming. If you have watched the other video after it all happened and listened, then you heard the driver that took it say that the other drivers were NOT listening to their radios. Many times we have heard new drivers ask why they need a cb radio, that there is nothing useful on there......this is why. If just one time another driver warns you of what is ahead ....



    And if you watch this and listen, you can hear a driver trapped in his truck calling out for help. The emergency personnel were hesitant to cross over to help the injured and trapped because trucks were still piling into the wreck.

    wulfman, wulfman, wulfman ...:biggrin_25513:....I see the problem....
    There's no such thing as a 100% perfect fit.....the thing is to find that one person that is 100% commited to working out whatever problems life might throw in your way. To adapt, change and grow together ....and to accept the things that can't be changed about one another. If you look for someone that just suits you as a perfect fit today.....it is a 100% guarantee that will change in the future.
