UPDATE: I had a gentleman come by and look at my Ranger. He is going to purchase it. Use it as a down payment on another he has and I shall make some small payments to him. Basically the same vehicle. One year newer and Silver.

Stupid County does not plow roads !
On my way back from Denver last Sunday morning (enroute to help a guy set up his Off-Grid Solar system) I crested a hill at 25mph. Driving very cautiously in 4 wheel drive. Coming down the other side the rear end slid out and the truck came down the road sideways. The front end finally turned back to the correct direction I was going, but only long enough to drive me into the ravine, through several 4" thick trees, a metal post/sign, and all came to a stop when I cut a 40ft tall aspen (12inch thick) in half. Luckily, I walked away unscathed. The truck is dead. Hopefully I can find another similar so It can be used for parts (more valuable) than selling it as scrap. :-/

OH. MY. GOD. I'm glad you are ok! Working in the insurance biz, I see too many of these go the other way. Be careful!
ReplyDelete:) I know!
DeleteGlad to hear your getting another truck just to bad you have to make payments.
ReplyDeleteHow's the weather, staying above freezing inside the house?
House above freezing. The weather has been mild. 20s at night. Quite easy to keep things in the mid 70s.
DeleteI haven't followed blogs for a time so I was shocked when I saw your crash. So glad you walked away from that. It is like flying any landing you walk away from is a good landing, but just a little expensive. Stay safe and warm. Are you planning for a garden this year or do you still have too many projects to start farming? It is hard for me to get around now so I am not sure if I will even have my tomatoes this year. By the way when are you going to introduce us to your new friend? You have been giving hints but you have not introduced us yet. LOL Stay safe my long distance friend.
ReplyDeleteI should do some introduction, in depth life back story stuff. I am planning on a veggie garden in 2015. Couple hoop houses to protect the plants from hail season. Saddened to hear about your mobility. I hope things are well with you!
DeleteOK TIME IS UP ---- TIME TO START BLOGING AGAIN ---- I hope you are well and just working hard on getting a garden ready for the spring,----- BUT WE MISS HEARING FROM YOU.
ReplyDeleteYes I was yelling.
