    Nearly died today
    Moron in a class a motorhome with a 20' cargo trailer made a left turn off the highway and cut off a semi hauling double. Dude in the semi locked up his brakes, I started going to the ditch (no shoulder), and just hoped that the trailers didn't swing or tip and smack me as the semi veered left and half into my lane. He somehow managed to thread the gap between me, the truck behind me and moron's cargo trailer.
    I was making the same turn (rest area/bathroom) and went over and chewed the guy out. Fucking idiot.

    Yeah, don't think my chances would have been good with a semi head on at 70mph.

    How's the noggin healing?

    Very glad i changed camps though. Too noisy where I was and according to the current radar they are getting hammered by a pretty serious thunderstorm. Hope all the fancy cars are tucked away safe in case there's hail in the mix...
    So far it looks like the storms are all gonna scoot by just south of me. Not that I believe that 100% given how inaccurate our forecasts usually are :laugh:

    Dang! I missed this one somehow. Glad it wasn’t worse. Hope you’re feeling better and the doctors can figure it out.
    Awesome story. Thanks for sharing.

    Had key lime pie today, it was great.

    Asked him what in the hell he was thinking pulling in front or that semi. Did he even realize what he was doing and that a second or two is all it would have taken for that driver to have killed me.
    He called me some names and started in about "do you even know what's going on with me right now?"
    No, and I don't fucking care. Nothing would justify that dipshit move that could have cost me my life.

    There were some other people that had just stopped. The guy started coming over thinking that I was in danger, that the dude had approached me and not the other way around. I told him what happened and he backed off, let me finish my tirade on the moron.
