    Well afternoon everyone, I hope everyone is well. Had to go to work today,we had a pretty good ice storm.I was almost home and got in a front end collision. I think the other driver was okay, I’m okay. But the truck is toast, ripped the drivers side wheel and axel assembly right off. All the airbags went off, all the doors are jacked. I hate to say it but I hope it’s totaled, it would never be right again. The frame is probably bent. Thank the good lord for airbags, seatbelts, this could have been ugly.579EDEC3-BBFA-49C8-9C7A-D0803F00BDA5.jpg5FB5CD25-DFE8-48B3-AF1E-2CE052F1A47F.jpg7585554F-63E6-4A6D-A018-1749E0E4D621.jpg

    Another favorite. But this one doesn't have the T tops.

    My good deed still hasn't turned and bit me (yet). I flushed out the tankless water heater next door. Removed a good bit of mineral chunks and cleaned the little strainer and that restored the water pressure to normal. The dishwasher wasn't draining so figured out the pump is shot. Let the owner know if they ordered one and had it drop shipped to the house I'd put it in next weekend. So that's coming. Also have a faucet not shutting off all the way. Not sure I want to get into that one, but I'll look at it next weekend.

    I don’t know the new car specs but I do know it’s a std without ac so that’s a good start.

    That's just plain lousy. Sorry about the truck. But as long as you're okay, then that's what really matters.

    WELL CRAP! The main thing is your ok! It's a shame to see such a nice truck wrecked but you coming out relatively unharmed is the good part. As you said may be better off if totaled. You're irreplacable and they make these trucks everyday. Sorry Bud.

    Does the Charger have a Confederate flag on the roof or is it the politically correct version.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words, much appreciated. I’m okay,went to the ER to get checked out, just some bruises- soft tissue damage. Sore wrist,ankle, and ribs. I’m glad I was in a modern vehicle with airbags,and seatbelts.
