    “But, but.... Ossifer, he’s a professional. He’s supposed to allow for my stupidity. Besides, why should I have to be stuck behind a truck??” :rolleyes:

    Must be a full moon or something. I ran up into the city to do some shopping yesterday and nearly had that happen 3 times. Every time it was an old lady too. You'd think that having a driver's license for 40+ years they'd realize other people can't see the turn signal when they're half beside you.

    As much as I love and appreciate the older people, they make for some of the worst drivers. Had a guy t bone me back on August 14. At 6 in the morning, thru panguitch utah , which is the middle of bfe. And tried to blame it on me after he ran the stop sign! I didn't tell him I had a camera as he just kept running his mouth, but I sure told the trooper that when we were sitting in the patrol car running my paperwork. Showed him the video and it caught the guy running the stop sign and smashing into my drive tires, blew out both of them, bent both the wheels and destroyed my side box and took out a couple lights on my trailer... it was my dam birthday too! A guy cant even enjoy being another year older. No respect out here anymore ..

    Seems like every time I go into the city I nearly get hit by an elderly driver or a young lady with her face buried in her phone. Pretty much avoid the city as much as possible and I sure as hell stay away from it on my bike!

    The picture showing that the damage to your vehicle says it all. Clearly shows the car was moving forward as it collided with your vehicle, pulling the mount forward.

    Welp, I guess I don’t quite know where to start. I guess 1st of all, i don’t eat like that. When I’m out all week I typically spend about $22 a day on restaurant food, morning coffee and water. Before I leave on Sunday or Monday, I pack 4-5 days worth of salads and sandwiches for lunch in an ice pack cooler. I don’t have a generator, inverter, microwave, refrigerator, or TV in my truck. Or any type of hot plate. When I get done at the end of the day, I’m not interested in cooking, or the clean up. I’d rather use that time to get out and get some exercise walking around and just plain getting out of the truck for a little bit. I got a buddy that cooks in his truck. It stinks to high heaven in his truck. Not interested. I guess if I can’t afford $80-90 a week for food, I don’t know what to say. The picture of the 35-55 dollar steak you posted, you’ll never see me in a restaurant like that. Not that I can’t afford it once in a great while as a treat, I refuse to pay that much. Don’t anybody be offended by what I say as I’m not very politically correct. So, if all the restaurants go out of business, where are we going to meet for coffee ?? When all the truck stops are 100% paid parking because the restaurants are closed and not generating any revenue, who’s going to be squealing then ?? I’ll go inside, pay my $20 for supper and park for free. I pretty sure I didn’t say everything I got to say, I’ll say it another time.
