What's your road kill score?

Working your way up to a bus full of nuns and orphans?

 

They used to call that "dusting", everybody would yack about it on the CB. The move over laws have hopefully eliminated that. Many years ago, I came up on an accident scene with what must've been about a bazillion cops there. They had a big truck on the shoulder, and all the cops were WAY out in the grass. Turns out that driver tried to "dust" some poor cop but sent him sailing instead...
I'll never forget the sight of how far off the road those cops were looking for evidence...


On a lighter note, I was running down 81 once in the middle of the night, when WHAM!! Something hits my passenger side mirror, pushing everything against the right side window. Turns out it just folded the bracket in, nothing was broken. Had to be a good size bird though, maybe an owl? What else hunts in the dark? I've had hawks fly into me in daylight but at night?

 

Hmmmmmm.
3 deer but only 1 with major damage.
1 Turkey no damage.
1 hawk that took out the center post and both windshields .
Numerous birds and bats .
1 coyote no damage.
2 trash cans no damage.
I quit counting the bugs .

 

1,985,652 monarch butterflies last year between San Antonio and Laredo....

3 birds and one lot lizard

 

After the thump several hours went by the co driver walks to the front window displaying a set of large deer ears still attached must of swung up onto the trailer bumper hanging there for the trip

 

I see bats mentioned, as far as I know I have only ever hit one bat, and didn't know it until daylight. I had noticed something during the night flapping off my passenger mirror post, when it started getting daylight I could see it was a bat hung up on it.

 

In a paving outfit while dumping running down the driveway...

8 cable service wires. You see it coming up to be cut by your rig, do you stop and incur 4 hours physical labor costs or do you take the cable?

We took it. We never stopped. Im just happy we were never presented with a service drop that low when doing that. And yes we fixed or replaced cable relatively fast.

A thousand dollars worth of green curbing at the VA Clinic in Sayre NY. I noticed they did a rather bad job replacing the curbing on the right side of the entry. The other thing I noticed that it was really built up along that street over the years.

The shingles probably were replaced by now for sure. They would have been in the far half of the building near the front in the far end of the lot. Half of the building was not built yet nor was the pathway coming from the covered canopy to the right of the camera view in that corner of the property.

 

1 smelly skunk

 

I have one horse who i barley even pissed off but tore my trucl all to hell and blackbird who destroyed my bug shield and that's all in 23 years
