    I don't have a plate, I couldn't get that angle. That being said, it honestly isn't a big enough deal for me to do more than inquire. Do I really want to be the guy making a claim against a dude that had enough crack on him to get a trafficking charge?

    I cut away the damaged bark per a quick Google. I'll key my eye on it for the summer and see what happens.

    Well, garage came and picked up my truck late this morning and I just got a call from them. No fuel pressure, so they checked for power and ground at the pump which were both good so it's getting a new pump and I should have it back tomorrow.

    YES.

    If it's stolen, insurance will cover, and owner won't pay.
    If it was owner, FK THEM

    Insurance is a damn scam. They bill and charge, saying they have your back. Use it 1 time in 25years, and they make your wallet bleed.

    I hate insurance. Even before the accident.... even more so now.

    @mach1man001 happy belated birthday! I was just talking about you, Rich, and Rick when I had lunch with @SR-71A in Brunswick.

    If the tree isn’t ringed there should be a good chance it’ll recover

    That wasn't after the town party I hope, yikes.

    And this.

    Let their insurance pay. Worst case you get a judgment against the jackass who inconvenienced you.

    I more curious now just how big this tree is. If the trunk is less than 6” probably more trouble than it’s worth. If it’s bigger get a quote for the old one to be removed and cost to replace it with one that’s the same size. Might need heavy equipment and a crane to replace. Might be at deductible just in lawn repair.



    my agent(USAA) told me it’s usually cheaper to hit the house than damage trees :notsure:
    I’d call Weston nurseries and have them give you a quote


    I’m with Chase, insurance is a scam! You pay in case shit happens. If shit doesn’t happen they should cut you a check. If shit happens file a claim

    Agreed. She has been on a few rides with me since. Not too many.
    She isn't ready to hang it up. But, I think this is further in her head than she wants to admit as well.

    MIGHT put my bagger up. Not sure either way yet.
    Would still have the other 2. Hell, with the weather we've been having, i feel like all I'm doing is storing the damn things.
