    Today is not a good day to drive a vehicle around especially my truck !!!! . The strong winds not only are you being pushed around but being sandblasted

    I was driving across the Mojave river in Apple Valley when a very strong gust of wind hit . All I heard was sand being blown all over the passenger side of my truck and I know it sandblasted that side of my truck !!!! :rant::rant:

    What I can see right now is the side windows have very light gazing and the fender near the turn signal has some very faint chips

    I was kinda wondering about that too. Or put some bouys out to close off the area

    How the F do you hit an airplane with a car?!?!?

    this too. maybe they're be a big bill for environmental clean up that the owner will be responsible for

    Simple , you go drinking with a crew chief get to drunk to drive daddys truck back off base and be home before curfew so stay at crew chiefs dorm room. Wake up before the crew chief does realize your ass is in a sling cause of said curfew. Leave the crew chief still sawing Zzs in his room go get in your Daddys truck and attempt to drive back of the base at 0330 hrs . With it being early morning and still having a BAC of .13 well it is easy to get turned around. She did manage to get around the Jersey Barriers in front of the Transient Alert pad and drove out on the pad. Catching the wing tip of a T-38 with the front passenger side windshield pillar post. Damage to ACFT extensive , Damage to Ford extensive . The SP's kept her on base processing for 3 hours and still blew the .13 when DPS picked her up for processing. Daddies truck sat in back of the SP shack for a month before it was towed back to him I presume. I do know as I was involved in the repairs that all tolled it was 47k ish for the plane repairs. this was in ohh call It late 80s money.

    BTW the Crew Chief got an Article 15 since anything a visitor you bring on the base does wrong is your fault drunk or sober asleep or awake :{

    Such a frustrating day today....Ever get the feeling that it doesn't matter how hard you work and how good of a job you do because there's always somebody else who finds some way, no matter how illogical, to screw stuff up?
    Yup. Thats my life

    But I don't get it! Do my coworkers have secret meetings to discuss ways to frustrate me? Do they like angry Weesa and try to find ways to make here appear?
